Tourmaline Hair Iron

Humidity, harsh weather conditions and environmental factors all take part in causing frizzy and unmanageable hair, but fortunately for us certain hair irons are designed to calm down the frizzies for perfectly smooth and shiny locks that won’t revert to their previous annoying state so we can enjoy beautiful hair throughout the entire day.

Tourmaline is a semi-precious gem that was always seen in jewellery but was soon discovered to be an excellent heat conductor and ideal for hair styling due to its unique protective properties. Now tourmaline crystals are is crushed and cast into hair iron plates to seal your hair’s cuticles and create the gentlest straightening process for your locks. The beauty of tourmaline is its natural ionic component which is six times more potent than any other heating material. These ions neutralize the positive charge which is the cause of open follicles that are responsible for hair to appear dry and brittle, so with the negative ions that tourmaline hair straighteners release, hair follicles are closed, hair shaft is smoothened and hair damage is prevented. Additionally, ionic technology is actually capable of speeding up the straightening process so the hair is exposed to less heat and therefore protects each strand from heat damage.

This gem is also a natural source of far infrared rays (FIR) which are in charge of gently warming up the hair while retaining its natural moisture to keep the hair looking healthy and nourished. This kind of heating is much safer than conventional heat used in basic straighteners as it guarantees less heat damage and won’t dry out your hair’s vital moisture.

In comparison with the ever so popular ceramic, not only is tourmaline much more ionic, but it’s also faster at reaching high temperatures. This is why tourmaline hair irons are highly demanded among frizzy, thick and curly haired women, plus tourmaline’s speed and powerful heating makes it a much healthier choice since less heat will be needed for a fabulous straighten so it’s also popular among women with fragile and colour treated hair types.

Tourmaline plates are usually manufactured by combining ceramic and tourmaline ingredients. Because of this combination, such irons offer better results and more heat protection for your hair compared to the irons made by ceramic alone. The Karmin G3 Salon Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Iron is one of the many brands to combine ceramic and tourmaline for the best and safest results in a high quality hair iron, so it’s a choice you may want to consider. But no matter which brand you choose, for silky smooth hair without a hint of damage or frizz, make sure that it’s made with pure tourmaline!
