Long, long, ago (1866) in a faraway land, a young gentleman named Hairm Maxim designed the machine gun bearing his name. That same man also applied for and obtained a patent on a less deadly but more commonly used device – the hair-curling iron. Since its invention, the hair curling iron has been whipping up women’s tresses throughout the world. Twentieth century women – from the average girl venturing out for a night on the town to Hollywood actresses walking down the red carpet – rely on this device. To sum it up, “Curling irons are HOT!”
The curling iron I use depends upon many factors, including the job, texture, and look. Thankfully things have improved since Mr. Maxim first patented the device; curling irons today are more advanced and can be used to get a customized look without risking the integrity of the hair. Here are the best irons on the market today.
