There are several models of straightening irons suitable for different types of hair. The first criterion to take into account when choosing your straightener is the size of the plates. There are indeed very narrow plates ideal for short hair. The so-called "classic" plates are perfect for long and medium length hair. As for the wide plates, they are useful for long, curly or even frizzy manes. Besides the size, the coating is just as important! There are ceramic models that are very practical to distribute the heat evenly. Teflon is also interesting to bring shine to the hair. Some models are made of titanium for super efficiency, even after applying hair products.
If the coating and materials change according to the brands and models, certain options are also important. To avoid damaging your hair, choose a straightener with adjustable temperature. Thus, you will not risk burning your lengths and ends, just lower the thermostat according to the nature of your hair fiber. Some straighteners have a handy built-in comb to detangle your hair at the same time. Finally, choose a model with a heat-insulating cover to easily store the device. Without this pouch, you could burn yourself or burn tissue.
First, you must have dry hair. Otherwise, you risk damaging the hair fiber. Some models of straighteners are used on damp and wet hair. If this new technology is interesting for women in a hurry, it should not make us forget that a hair is fragile. Do not abuse the straightener too much and avoid using it every day. For those who tend to have fine, electric hair, look to models with ionic technology. Thanks to an ingenious system, negative ions are released to avoid producing static electricity. Finally, there have recently been hair straighteners that produce steam. Same principle as the iron? Not quite ! Here, the steam will hydrate the hair while smoothing the lengths. And little more, this technique ensures a shiny hairstyle and super soft hair.
For a perfect hairstyle, prepare your hair before straightening. Brush them, then dry them. Then, plug in your straightener, and adjust the temperature:if you have fine hair, choose a low temperature, and if you have thicker hair, increase the thermostat. You can apply a serum before and after using your straighteners to hydrate your lengths.
