How to Pick a Good Hair Straightener

Criteria:

• Working plate surface material: The coating can be metallic, ceramic, tourmaline (ionic ceramic), Teflon, titanium and marble. The most gentle effect on hair is provided by marble and tourmaline models. It is not recommended to use metal irons for styling at all, they do not protect the curls from heating in any way.
• Temperature regime... There should be several modes in a good ironing, this is the only way to choose the optimal styling temperature, taking into account the individual characteristics of the hair.
• Plate width... The wider the plate, the more convenient it is to work with wide strands and dense hair. Narrow plates (1.5-3 cm) are better suited for thin curls, wide (from 3 cm) - for complex styling and "heavy" hair;
• Clearance between plates... When the ironing plates are closed, a gap may remain between them. If it is more than 2 mm, the attachments will not adhere well to the hair, which means they will not cope with their functions - it is better to refuse to buy such models right away.
• Additional options... Irons from different manufacturers can be completed with:
  • nozzles for creating curls "corrugation" or "waves",
  • combs and brushes,
  • a rotating cord,
  • cold air,
  • functions of ionization of hair and supply of conditioner,
  • options for hot humidification, temperature storage, etc.

What rectifiers are not worth taking

The anti-rating of hair straighteners includes:

• curling iron with metal plates... They do not have additional hair protection options, so they just burn the curls. The plates are not smooth and can pull out individual hairs;
• teflon-coated irons... Teflon is gradually erased from the working surfaces of the device, and using tongs without a protective coating is very dangerous for the hair;
• irons without thermostat... Hair needs individual selection of styling temperature. Without thermoregulation, straightening occurs with maximum heating and burning curls;
• models with plates protruding from the body. With such an iron, it is easy to get a serious burn during the installation process.
