Queston: What is the difference between a marcel grip curling iron and a regular curling iron? Why are they called marcel grip?

 

Answer: Monsieur Marcel, whose full name was Marcel Grateau, is credited with the origin of marcel waving. He was born in Chauvigny, France, in 1853. It was his ambition to develop a method of waving that would resemble the natural wave in hair. At last, in 1875, after considerable experimentation, he perfected the instrument and technique for waving hair with heated irons. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to hair dressing, this method of hair waving was called marcel waving.

 

Now a days these curling irons have been redesigned and modernized; still the marcel basic design is their original style grip handle. The marcel grip curling iron is great for the professional that works with a great amount of clients that get their hair curled or waved periodically and for the individual that is seeking a fluid process of hot curling.
