This type of hair iron isn’t the most popular on the hair tools market for nothing. Ceramic has long replaced basic glass and metal plates which are found in cheap hair straighteners and we are infinitely grateful for it! Ceramic excels in quality,Choosing a Ceramic Flat Hair Iron Articles durability and performance due to their infrared and ionic technology which locks in the hair’s natural moisture while gently flattening every strand and smoothing the hair cuticles to prevent damage.

If you straighten your hair on a regular basis then you should know that constantly applying heat to your locks can be quite damaging. Unfortunately, heat damage isn’t fixable unless you cut it all off or just wait until your hair grows out so it can be healthy again.  Ceramic hair irons are far gentler on your hair than regular irons and due to their ionic technology, your hair will lay flatter and smoother for longer, so you won’t have to straighten your hair on a daily basis to keep looking superb.

You’re probably wondering what this so called “ionic technology” does and why it’s so popular in hair irons. Well, ionic simply means that when the iron is heated it will release negative ions which will cancel out the positive ions present in dry and brittle hair. This will lead to smoothing down every strand until a perfectly straight and sleek style is accomplished. You will probably see the term “ionic ceramic hair iron” a lot while browsing for hair straightening tools, it’s a term used in the hair industry mostly to make their product sound like its more effective than others. However, ceramic plates release negative ions whether the product says it uses ionic technology or not. So don’t be fooled into buying the most expensive “ionic” ceramic iron over a cheaper ceramic straightener which will achieve the same results.

The advantages of ceramic flat hair irons are many, since they can be used on every type of hair for any type of style. Whether you want it straight, wavy or curly; ceramic hair irons will do it safely and easily without the worry of heat damage.
