How to choose your hair straighteners
When it comes to looking for the perfect pair of hair straighteners, there are a few things to consider:
Width of the hair straightener - Hair straighteners are available in a variety of widths: slim plates (usually around 2.5 – 3cm are suitable for short hair) while wider plates (around 6cm) are better for those with longer hair or thick hair.
Hair straightener plates:- Ceramic plates distribute heat more evenly but can be slower to warm up.
- Titanium plates heat up much more quickly than ceramic plates however, hair straighteners with this plate type tend to be more expensive.
- Ceramic coated plates are made from a metal base topped with a ceramic layer giving you the best of both worlds - a speedy heating time paired with more evenly distributed heat.
Variable temperature - Depending on your hair density, you’ll want to heat your hair straighteners to different temperatures to ensure the best results. Low heat is better suited to people with fine hair and a higher heat is better suited to people with coarse hair or thick hair.
Are they ionic? - Nobody wants frizz or flyaways and when there is too much positive charge on your hair, it can cause static. Ionic technology neutralises this unwanted charge and helps to keep your hair smooth, sleek and frizz free.
