Personal opinions on specific hair straighteners aren't the most trustworthy sources when you're trying to decide on which straightener to purchase. You'll most likely find in many forums that one model can work wonders for some while for others it was just a waste of money. You wouldn't want to splurge on a highly recommended straightener and realize later that it was a bad investment for you and your hair. People's hair type is what decides if a straightener works properly for them or not. So to be on the safe side, let's talk about what any good hair straightener should have without going too deeply into what's best for each type of hair.
What any and every good hair straightener has is a trustworthy heating material in its plates. These can be ceramic, tourmaline or titanium. They all use infrared technology to gently heat up and lock your hair's natural moisture into your cuticles during and even after you straighten or style. They also have an ionic component which means that when heated they will release negative ions that cancel out the positive ions which are responsible for making hair frizzy and unmanageable. By using any of these materials you'll be ensuring the sleekest hair with a healthy, vibrant shine.
Important features such as a variable temperature setting is necessary for safe styling for every hair type since each one has its own recommended range of heat. Another feature is a 360 swivel cord that will allow you to swiftly move through your hair without getting tangled up. If you're a forgetful person then go for a straightener with a timer that will automatically turn off if the iron is left unattended for over 30 minutes, this will avoid burning and excessive power usage. If you're a traveler then head for the straighteners with a universal voltage so you can use your hair tool regardless of your destination. There are many features and advanced technologies designed to make your life easier and your hair styling safer, it's just a matter of finding what you need.
With this information as the basis of your decision, all you have to do now is look for a hair straightener with the hallmark features that let you know what hair type it's designed for. Once you have a straightener that has all the major aspects that are needed for an efficient straighten or style, you can forget about ever having a bad day again and maybe even write a few reviews of your own for people with the same hair type!
