No doubt that a woman with long straight hair stands out from the rest, especially if the hair is shiny and goes along where the air moves. I watched the Miss International 2009 Beauty Pageant. There was one contestant who stands out because of her hair. It was long, shiny and super straight. Though she was not crowned Miss International, but if it is not of her hair she won’t get noticed.

Today,Guide to Buying Straightening Irons Articles more and more women love to have a long straight hair and to be able to achieve that look, some go to a parlor for straightening but more women prepare to have their hair fixed at home using straightening irons. Straightening irons are too many in the market and the choices are overwhelming. Literally you can find hundreds and if not thousands of straightening irons, branded or non-branded one.

For five years now, I have read reviews regarding straightening irons and have used quite a few product as well, which I learnt that there are important things you should consider before buying straightening irons.

The best straightening must have good features. Find one on which you can benefit much from its features. This include checking on the heat it produces, one that has heat control and the flat should be made of tourmaline or ceramic. The temperature should reach up to 400 degrees, don’t worry ass long as there is heat control you will be fine. The reason for this is that, straightening irons with temperature less than 400 degrees may not give good result to thicker hair.

When choosing straightening irons, consider the size; good straightening irons should have 1 inch to 1 ½ inches width, since this is the most versatile kind of size. You can definitely straight your hair to the fullest with this kind of size.

When choosing the best straightening irons consider the brand. Of course you may not want to ruin your hair, do you? Choose a product that is trusted by many. Do not buy unfamiliar or untested products. Remember it is your hair; invest something good for your self. It doesn’t matter if they are expensive or not; mind you there are inexpensive straightening irons that works best compared to other expensive straightening irons. You have to choose wisely.

The best straightening irons should have longer warranty. Always check for warranty period. The truth is, no matter how good are the straightening irons, one way or another it will always have some lapse. It is called factory defect. Sometimes this cannot be avoided, so it is better to purchase straightening irons with longer warranty. In case any thing happens you can return the item for another one without paying any thing.

One thing that is also important is, knowing whom to contact in case some problem arises. Also consider the kind of hair you have. Is it thick, limp or fine? Is your hair has a natural curl or it is already straight? For naturally straight hair, and just want to use straightening irons, you can choose one that has lesser temperature.
