DR Maryam Taghavi
: In all the catalogues in UK they use hair stylers (as Mr Koleili hhas mentioned). Then, under the general category of hair stylers, they use straighteners, Hot air brushes, hair curlers, etc. So it really depends on the context.

Electric hair curler / Curling iron
"Hair curler" = bigudi , bAbilis
"Electric hair curler" = bAbilis
In this particualr case - as indicated " mupich <<yA>> bAbilis" - either "hair curler" or "curling iron" is correct as they are the devices to "curl" the hair.
If using "hair curler", one should use "electric hair curler" here as the normal hair curler is called "bigudi" in Persian and not "bAbilis".

: Good distinction on "bigudi". BTW, "bigudi" is a trade name like "babilis". The company was B. Goody, now simply Goody.
