Hair straighteners, also called flat irons, have increasingly become more and more popular as women are looking for no frizz, sleek hairstyles. The increased technological advances in these tools including ceramic plating and better design have boosted the use of hair straighteners. Hair straighteners allow straightening of hair at home without the need to go to the salon for chemical treatments or other expensive methods. Because of different plate sizes, hair straighteners can be used on many different hair types as well. These tools will continually become more popular. Popular brands now include Sedu, Solia, and CHI.

Description: a hair straightener is a tong-like device that has two heated plates which are run down the hair shaft to straighten hair strands temporarily.

Uses: hair straighteners will flatten hair like no other tool can and now even come in wet-to-dry versions which eliminate the need to blow-dry wet hair before styling. A straightener can also be used to add curl to hair (get a professional to show you how) and is the best way to add the flicks in flicked out hairstyles.


Great for: all hair types.


Tips:

• Use a slim line straightener when trying to add curls or flicks

• Apply deep conditioning treatments to your hair if you regularly straighten to balance any damage that may be caused by the heat

• Work in small sections to get a smoother finish and start from the under layers of your hair
