Square barrel styling<br />
for long-lasting curls<br />
The Chopstick Styler has been launched, with four different barrel types,<br />
offering easy and fast styling of dramatic curls, beachy waves, or enhancing<br />
natural curl texture.<br />
The styler uses a rectangular barrel; this is because atoms in hair are held<br />
tightly by hydrogen bonds which weaken when heat is applied. By using a<br />
wand with edges, squarer curls are produced which set more securely.<br />
Barrels are produced from professional grade titanium with the styler<br />
reaching an ultra high heat of 210°C. Chopstick Styler say that curls<br />
created using their tool will last from 24 hours to two days!<br />
Choose from four different Chopstick Stylers: Hero for voluminous, wild,<br />
tight curls; Long for wild, tight curls on longer hair; Chunky for defined,<br />
glamorous, bouncy curls; and Master for chic, effortless, zig zag waves.<br />
The Chopstick Stylers are available along with the brand’s hair care oil<br />
infusions formulated with Brazilian Maracuja oil, Mexican Avocado oil and<br />
South American Jojoba oil.<br />
