Hair straighteners aren’t the type of possession that come and go, once you buy a straightener you are handing over your hair’s health and trusting it to a styling tool that has the power to enhance it or damage it.
This is why it’s important to get all the information available on hair straighteners before you purchase one, so you won’t make any bad buys or confuse a professional straightener with an expensive scam.
If you really want to take care of your hair, then the first thing you should check out is the plates the straightener uses. Genuine plates are a must when it comes to a high quality hair straightener. Cheap hair irons usually use aluminum plates which have a rough surface and are painted over with a coat of ceramic to make them seem “high quality”. These low-cost plates are known to peel after long term use and thus cause your hair to break and damage, so if you value your hair then you’ll make sure that your chosen straightener uses solid ceramic, titanium or tourmaline plates which all use infrared technology to gently heat up and lock your hair’s natural moisture into your cuticles during and even after you straighten or style. They also have an ionic component which means that when heated they will release negative ions that cancel out the positive ions which are responsible for making hair frizzy and unmanageable. As for each material, ceramic is great for every type of hair and purpose while titanium is ideal for faster results and higher temperatures, making it the perfect choice for women on the go who need perfect looking hair fast. Tourmaline is a crystal which is crushed to make extra smooth plates that lock in moisture, reduce heat damage and release six times more negative charges than any other iron to ensure that your hair is left with silky, smooth and vibrantly healthy results without a single trace of frizz.
Important features such as a variable temperature setting is necessary for safe styling for every hair type since each one has its own recommended range of heat. Another feature is a 360° swivel cord that will allow you to swiftly move through your hair without getting tangled up. Look for contoured handles that are easy to grip and hang onto or your hand and wrist will probably get tired quickly.
Whichever brand or model you prefer, it’s important that you do your research before purchasing any kind of hair straightener to save you and your hair the trouble of regretting the day you bought it.
