Is a curling iron conduction convection or radiation?

According to Wikipedia, convection is a heat transfer proces that requires the presence of something to transfer that heat, but it is a process that happens in fluids. Conduction is transfer of heat from a hot object to a less hot object, in this case from a hot curling iron to your hair. Radiation heat transfer is by its nature different from convection in that it does NOT require a medium. Since we are not talking about fluids or about heat transfer without the help of an medium, the process you are looking for is conduction

Additionally, convection helps distribute the heat evenly on the surface of the barrel.


Are flat irons and curling irons a source of radiation?

Flat irons and curling irons use heat to style hair, not radiation. The heat is produced by the electrical resistance in the heating elements of the devices. However, it's important to use them according to instructions and avoid prolonged direct contact with the skin to prevent burns or damage.
