Best Professional Flat Iron

The catch is that it takes a bit of prior knowledge to know how to choose between a genuine professional irons and just an expensive rip-off. Wouldn’t you want to know what makes the best professional flat iron?

For one, they only use genuine plates made out of ceramic, tourmaline or titanium. All of these materials ensure equal heat distribution, fast warming up time and ultra-smooth plates which produce gentle, far infrared ionic heat that will seal the moisture into the hair’s cuticle during and even after you style for long lasting results with an added vibrant shine. Salons use titanium for its fast results and easy handling, since titanium is lighter than the other materials. But most pros recommend using ceramic as it’s safer on your hair and is versatile for all hair types and for styles other than straight. However, every professional hair stylist will tell you that the best you can get for your hair is a ceramic – tourmaline flat iron, due to the extra smoothing ions released by the tourmaline crystals, its gentle heating properties and its exceptional performance on every hair type.

Features such as a long rotating swivel cord, comfortable handles and a universal voltage are also important in a professional flat iron for swift and efficient styling. A 360° swivel cord will avoid tangling while you work around your hair and will present no problems when you twist and turn the iron to create curls or waves. Ergonomic handles with a comfortable grip will prevent you from hand and arm strain while a universal voltage or dual voltage as it’s also called, allows you to take your trusty flat iron anywhere around the world with the guarantee that it’ll deliver professional results regardless of the different voltage outputs in each country. However, if you own a salon then a voltage compatible with the rest of the world won’t be necessary, unless you need your work tools abroad.   

All of these aspects make one of the best professional flat irons in the beauty industry, the difference comes in when you start choosing the ones that coincide with what your unique hair type requires. Although these high-end flat irons are a bit more expensive than regular irons, they’ll be well worth your money and will have even the professionals wondering what you use on your hair!
