Things to Look for when Buying a Hair Straightener

1. Consider your Hair Type

While many of us completely ignore this but we think it is the most important point to consider before you buy your straightener. There are many products with high temperature but your hair type and quality may not suit it, or may get damaged if comes in contact with such high power heat.

• Fine hair- if you have fine hair that means your hair stands are already weak. You don’t need to invest in irons with high temperature because it’s relatively easier to straighten fine hair.
• Thick hair- thick hair requires high temperature to get straightened because the hair shaft is thicker here. Choose a good straightener which offers a min of 220 degree C temperature and comes with broad plates. If you try to use smaller plates with low heat you would have to go over and over the same hair sections which can damage hair cuticles.
• Chemically treated hair– chemically treated hair always needs extra care because they get more sensitive and weak. It is better if you don’t use a straightener over them but if you really want to go for a straightener, go for something that comes with low heat settings and good quality plates. It’s recommended to never use a straightener over 230 degree C.
• Curly hair- they are the most difficult hair type to straighten. They take more time and require better heating. To make the job easier invest in a straightener with wider ceramic plates that will let you straighten larger portions of hair at a time.
• Damaged hair- its best if you don’t use a straightener at all. But if you do, do it occasionally and always use a heat protectant before you start straightening. A straightener with round edges can prevent snagging and breakage.
