What Is Hair Crimping?
Hair crimping is a styling technique that creates zigzag patterns using a crimping iron. Unlike flat irons that smooth hair completely, crimpers add texture and volume by pressing ridges into the hair shaft.
This technique became popular in the 1970s and has made a huge comeback. It's perfect for adding volume without tight curls. The FIFN L01 Hair Crimper features ceramic plates for even heat distribution.
