To choose a straightener that will accompany you on a daily basis without attacking your hair, nothing very complicated: it is enough above all to take into account the nature and the length of your hair. You have to take care of your hair to be able to smooth it for a long time!
A straightener adapted to the nature of your hair
Before you get into the purchase of a straightener, define the nature of your hair: it is naturally stiff, you have fine hair, it is thick and flexible? This will be used to determine the power of your straightener. Thus, those with naturally fine and smooth hair will not need that the temperature of their straightener reaches summits, and vice versa.
Plates according to your hair length
Another question before taking action: what is the length of your hair? If you have relatively short hair, a straightener fitted with thin plates will be easier to handle. On the other hand, for long, thick or curly hair, a straightener with wide plates will save you time!
The plates coating your straightener
There are different types of coatings for smoking plates: ceramic, tourmaline, titanium. Ceramics is the basic coating; The tourmaline, it allows to have a more fluid slide; The titanium, on the other hand, accelerates the diffusion of heat. In reality, this is also a question of hair nature: if you have fragile hair, opt for ceramic plates and do not exceed a temperature of 150 degrees. You can also choose a professional straightener, because you will not have to use it every day, or steam, which gives a more flexible result.
