Best Flat Iron For Your Hair

Looking for the most suitable flat iron for your hair type? This is much wiser than spending hours browsing over countless models or choosing the highest rated on top ten lists. To make the right choice for your hair, here’s what you should take into consideration.

First of all, you must make sure that the material, plate width and features are made for the unique texture of your hair and your necessities. Girls with long, thick, curly or wavy hair should always opt for wider plates (1 ½” to 3”) as the whole point of using a flat iron is to speed up the hair grooming process and a thin flat iron would take longer to get through all that hair. On the other hand, short, fine and naturally straight hair should stick to thin irons (¾” to 1”) to work swiftly around the whole head, plus thin irons are especially useful for quick touchups and to create styles other than straight.

Next you should decide on the plate material of the flat iron, which defines the quality and protection of the results provided for your hair. Ceramic is ideal for all hair types in general but titanium and tourmaline are usually recommended for certain people. Titanium is fast, durable, strong and lightweight which is excellent for unruly hair types that are harder to tame. Titanium is famous for heating up faster than other materials and for getting the best results in even less time due to the high temperatures that thick hair needs for a proper straighten. Tourmaline is also a fast working material but this semi-precious gemstone has the added advantage of releasing an overwhelming amount of negative ions which are responsible for neutralizing frizz and smoothing each strand until a perfectly smooth and silky surface is accomplished. Tourmaline may not be as hot as titanium but it certainly is gentler and much better for thick and frizzy hair that is dry, fragile or color treated.

Last but not least, you would do well to ensure that your flat iron is light and comfortable to handle to lessen the amount of effort needed to straighten. Furthermore, a swivel cord to avoid tangling and adjustable heat settings to prevent burning are all necessary within an ergonomically designed flat iron.
These suggestions are all you need for the best flat iron for your hair, although you may want to keep in mind that a good warranty is also important to guarantee quality and protection of your flat iron if any faults were to arise after your purchase.
