The curling iron/ tong is a device that bends hair using heat. This device has a specially heated unit that curls hair and gives it a perfect definition. The barrel is mainly responsible for curling the hair, the barrel is described in detail in the blog below.
A curler consists of different parts. All these parts have various functions and contribute to the curling process in every possible way.
These are essential parts of a curling iron.
The Cord
The cord is the main source of supplying electricity to the iron. Electricity reaches the iron through the cord/ cable and gets into the power unit. This unit runs electricity to the barrel and heats-up. An ideal curling iron has a user-friendly and comfortable cord.
Temperature Button
For a perfect curl, a perfect temperature limit must be set. This will give the hair a perfect smooth curl. An ideal curling iron has a temperature setting button. Choosing the perfect temperature with this switch becomes easy.

Barrel
The barrel is the most important part of a curling iron. The barrel gets hot, and the proper heat makes curling the hair easier. The barrel is almost 2/3 of the curling iron and the most important one regarding function. On the other hand, different materials are used in it, mainly ceramic, tourmaline, and titanium.
Ceramic barrel ensures even heat distribution. Moisturizes the curl and makes it smooth.
The tourmaline barrel emits 6x more negative ions to smooth hair and leaves a shiny hair.

Cool Tip
The topmost part of the barrel is the tip. This doesn’t get hot and gives you a safe edge and prevents you from accidental burns.
