WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CURLING IRON AND A MARCEL IRON?

\n By: Dr. Edward Tony Lloneau\n\n \n\nA Curling iron is manipulated by controlling the SHELL that comes in contact with the rod and the thumb.  A Marcel iron, cialis sale tadalafil named after its French inventor, salve has two revolving handles of equal length.  One to control the shell and one to control the rod.  The space between each handle is sufficient to allow a finger to fit, in order to control the movement of the iron.\n\nThe Marcel iron is considered to be much more professional than the Curling iron, because when working with a Curling iron, the area of the hair shaft that comes in contact with the shell and pin (in the closed position will stay in constant contact with the hair until released by the thumb.  This is because the shell is held in a permanently close position by a spring, which is released by the thumb’s pressure.  The only way this pressure can be released during the curling procedure is when the thumb controller comes back around into position to be released. The rod and the shell of the Marcel iron can be kept in constant motion of opening and closing during the entire curling procedure, thereby disallowing hot spots to occur that could permanently and seriously damage the hair.  A good example of this is a HOT POTATO.  If someone throws you a HOT POTATO and instructs you to catch it but not drop it, then you will automatically juggle it from one hand to the other in order not to become burned.  This juggling process will keep the hot potato from coming in constant contact with your hands, also allowing the cooling effect of air to circulate between the potato and the hands, and thereby circumventing your hands from becoming burned.  The Marcel iron allows this same kind of action to occur on the hair so you may curl using high heat without seriously burning the hair.  For this reason, the Marcel iron is a safe, effective and professional device, much more so than the Curling iron.\n\nThe Marcel iron comes in two forms; (1) conventional (for use on the stove) and (2) electrical.  Many of the electric models do not have equal sizes and shapes of handles.  One may be much larger than the other on the same iron in order to house the thermostat and heat generating devices.  As a result, most electric curling irons will not allow you as much freedom of movement and control as the type used on a stove.  Also, generally there is not enough space between the two handles (in a closed position) for you fingers to fit between.  Also only the rod is heated on the electric models.  On the stove heated curling iron both the rod & shell are heated evenly resulting in both sides of the strands to receive equal heat.\n\n \n\n WHY STOVE HEATED IRONS WORK BEST ON COUSE HAIR?\n\nFor example, Asian, Hispanic, Indian and all such type hair have a cuticle that is twice as thick then most other straight hair, resulting in this type hair requiring more heat to bend the cuticle to form a curl.  The thickness of the cuticle accounts for the courser hair.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n
