The curling machine automatically draws a strand of hair into a ceramic chamber, heats it and shapes it into a curl.
It features various temperature and time settings.
The rotation direction of the curls can be set manually (left/right) or automatically.
The device is designed to create curls and waves and is often mentioned as an alternative to conventional curling irons.
Some models, such as the MiraCurl Steamtech, offer an additional steam function for particularly smooth curls.
