Many times, we need to quickly style, straight hair into curly hair, and curly hair into straight hair. Going to the hair salon to style your hair takes too long, so we usually style it ourselves at home with the help of a hair straightener. For styling products that are used more frequently in daily life, the choice of curling irons is worthy of our careful exploration.
1. Choose the Right Board
Hair straightening plates are made from a variety of materials, and while there's no right or wrong choice, some materials will be better suited for your hair type and needs.
Titanium alloy iron is worth recommending. Titanium irons heat quickly and can apply higher temperatures more evenly. These irons tend to work best on very curly, coarse hair, making them ideal for styling short hair of any texture and type. Titanium is lightweight, easy to use, and leaves hair looking incredibly smooth.
2. Board Width
Wider plates are great for those with long, thick hair. Actually, they can collect more hair and heat it in fewer passes. Wide plates reduce damage to thicker hair types.
However, if you have shorter, overly processed, or fine hair, you will need narrower plates to reduce heat. For those with short, fine, or damaged hair, choosing narrow plates can help protect your hair from damage. Run at lower temperatures and use finer boards to achieve precise styling. Plus, it's an excellent travel option for those who are in a hurry. If you plan on traveling with your curling iron, you'll also want a slightly narrower plate so it can easily fit in your bag.
3.Choose the Right Shape
Simple hair straighteners are flat, however, flat is not the best and the edges of the straightener will affect its versatility. It's easier to convert a straightener into a curling iron if the iron's plates and outer edges are slightly rounded. Straighteners with sharp edges are less adaptable and may only make your hair slightly straighter.
4. Temperature
High heat means faster, more effective straightening, but not all hair types need the hottest irons. Low-cost irons sometimes heat unevenly, causing uneven hair texture and possibly even burning parts of your hair. Choose a hair straightener with a smart sensor to ensure the iron is hot enough to style your hair without overheating. To reduce damage to your hair, consider using an iron with adjustable heat settings and styling on the lowest heat setting to get the results you want.
5. Price
The problem with cheap hair straighteners is that they tend to break faster. They can also damage your hair, heat unevenly, tangle your hair, or even overheat. More expensive hair straighteners should last for years and cause less damage to your precious hair.
