Hair Straighteners

Narrow plates, around 2.5 cm, suit short hair and bangs, and are easier to use for curls or waves. Wider plates cover more hair in each pass, which makes them quicker on long, thick hair. Plate length and the shape of the edges also matter, since rounded edges help when you want to create curls as well as straighten.

Ceramic plates heat evenly and are a common choice for most hair types. Titanium plates heat up quickly and hold high temperatures, which some people with thick or coarse hair prefer. Some plates have extra coatings, such as keratin or argan oil infusions, designed to help the plates glide smoothly. Adjustable temperature settings matter as much as the plate material.

A heated straightening brush works like a hairbrush with heated bristles, so it smooths hair quickly while keeping some natural volume, which suits busy mornings. A flat iron straightener presses hair between two plates for a sleeker, more polished finish and can also create curls and waves. Many people with thick or very curly hair find a straightener gives smoother results.

Always straighten clean, completely dry hair unless your straightener is designed for wet to dry use, and apply a heat protection spray first. Use the gentlest temperature that still works for your hair, since fine or colored hair needs less heat than thick hair. One slow, steady pass per section is gentler than several quick ones.
