Flat Iron Buying Guide
You might think Itâ € ™ its good idea to buy the same iron your best friend, but if the texture of Your Hair is different, their results can not be the same.
Everyone asks me â € œWhich flat iron is the best? Â € and I always say, â € œWhat is your hair type? â € before responding with a specific flat iron. Unless youâ € ™'ve tested first-hand is likely that iron is thinking about buying may not be the best for your hair. Leta € ™ s to reduce the number of options with some key issues.
What width of the plate?
Determine which plate width you need â € "an inch does not fit all. Selecting a width of the plate specific hair length will save time and avoid damage. Not all irons in all sizes so this can help narrow your selection.
Temperature parameters fixed or variable?
Plates are in the temperature parameters fixed or variable. The type that suits you best depends on your Haira € ™ s texture and design needs.
Your hair is fine, delicate, damaged or fine? Select a base with adjustable temperature variable can control the heat and keep the iron becomes too hot.
Your hair is thick and difficult to manage? A fixed temperature is a good choice for you if you can warm parts embarrassing Just wona t ™ € recover.
Your hair is somewhere in between? Chances that you will be fine with either option. My preference Personal is a variable value â € "I like the control.
Does that create loops?
Most plate today will create curls, but (ahem) the curls are only as good as the user who creates them, so that the updating of technical curling.
What technology?
Ok, this is indeed the source of confusion on the flat iron. Most irons on the market today have a technology Similar straightening, but who is better? Again, it depends on your hair type and design needs.
Ceramic / Ionic
Almost All professional-quality plates are ceramic and ionic those days. This technology is important in the production of negative ions to smooth the cuticle hair. What you can not understand is that none of the flat iron plates are 100% ceramic. THATA € ™ SA myth. All ceramic plates are infused (and / or other materials) straightening and smoothing hair. No kidding!
The industry research shows that the plates pure ceramic would be too soft to do the job, if all manufacturers (this means that all of them!) the use of ceramics, with a much harder surface, conducting heat as aluminum, titanium, etc. to straighten Haira ™ € s cuticles. And the boy did not work.
Aluminum
Some seniors, lower quality plates are pure aluminum. These plates are generally referred under the variety name œdrugstore € € and does not contain pottery. Thus, there is a big difference when you upgrade to a more expensive iron â € "The addition of ceramics.
You know what it is ceramic, but what about other documents that you sure heard? Tourmaline, Nano-titanium, nano, something? These are additional materials used in the plates to improve the sharpness of the audience ™ € s surface, generate additional negative ions to straighten hair quickly and create a barrier to free sliding clings branches. Liena € ™ its breakdown:
Nano
It is a process where the material, for example, tourmaline particles is Micronized superfine and infused into the surface of the plate. Whenever Nano to see the pieces, tiny little softened material infused into the plates. Nano-Ceramic Nano-Silver, you get the idea.
Ceramics and Nano Ceramic
The smaller ceramic particles to help the process smoothing. This is good for every hair type. Most tech ceramic plates provide silky, straight results but there are a variety of prices. As for most irons I am tempted € ™, ceramic irons are actually more expensive. More expensive irons usually come with features and additional benefits so be sure to watch this if you are considering a ceramic plate.
Nano Titanium
Super Surface smooth, the heat conduction, straightens hair up to 40% faster. Is it necessary? If your hair is difficult to recover, it is one the best materials out there for you, new technologies, but comparable to Tourmaline. If you want the latest technology, youâ € ™ ll like this.
Nano-Silver
A smooth surface that eliminates bacteria on the device to create an environment free of germs whenever you use it. Ideal for a stylist or a phobia of germs. The hair is well prepared, but you should have? Probably not.
Nano-Tourmaline
Tourmaline is a semi-precious stone known for its production of negative ions and mitigation, and spread in the iron plate plane. It This is an older technology and nano-titanium nano-silver. I think sometimes causes Tourmaline static, but still a very good material for smoothing over types of hair.
Does it come with a warranty?
The warranty is another biggie to think. Some manufacturers do not honor a warranty if you purchase the plate a lounge. I think a good idea if my living room leads all levels of iron. The truth is that you nâ € ™ t. But I noticed The irons are paving the way more expensive than online. What?
If you buy an iron in a store or online, look for a flat which has a 1 year warranty or more. Wea € ™ I have heard all the rumors about a board that breaks after only a few months. Honestly, it's the case. It may want to think. â € ~ Nuff said.
If you use an iron every day, you want it to last. Be sure to select iron guarantee of survival habits every day. If you use an iron from time to time, to go a ceramic plate cheaper without all bells and whistles of technology.
I hope you take the time to ask these simple questions, the plate of your dreams awaits you!
