Makeovers can be risky and quite expensive, but with a flat iron you won’t have to worry about either of these problems since the change is only temporary and you won’t have to visit a costly hair salon to transform your usual hairstyle to something new and unique. Flat hair irons let you go from curly to straight or from straight to wavy in no time at all! Whatever style you want to wear you can achieve it in a very short time and with very little effort.

Flat hair irons have come a long way since their primitive metal plated form which weren’t too safe for hair. Nowadays, flat irons have new and improved plates made with ceramic, titanium or tourmaline and integrated with the latest technologies for superior protection against the biggest fear of all regular flat iron users: heat damage.

Ceramic is known for its superior heating, durability and performance which are why it’s also the most recommended by professionals. It’s the ideal choice for all hair types and its wide variety of models makes it easy for anyone to find their dream model at a reasonable price. However, ceramic may seem to slow and steady for some people so titanium would be the main character in this case due to its extremely fast heating which is great for thick, curly and coarse hair types that usually take longer to tame with a flat iron. Now tourmaline is another top material but its extra ionic technology which works to reduce volume and frizz makes it especially recommended for thick, curly and frizzy hair types. Although tourmaline’s also the gentlest out of the three so it’s perfect for dry, color treated and fragile hair types too.

Flat irons today come in many shapes and sizes and are designed for all kinds of uses. The first thing you should think about before purchasing a flat iron is what do you want it to do? If you’re just looking for a good straighten then a regular iron for home use is for you, but if you want an iron that will work overseas then look for a flat iron with a dual voltage, if you need small plates in an iron that you can take around with you then go for a compact mini iron that is perfect for carrying around in your handbag; and if you’re too busy to wait or to blow dry then head straight for the wet to dry flat irons that work directly on damp hair without causing damage. It all depends on your lifestyle and needs, but you must also look for specifics like the plate size to suit your hair type and features like a swivel cord and a variable heat setting to take extra care of your hair.
