Flat Iron – How to Choose The Best Hair Straightener Iron

When it comes to buying a new flat iron, no doubt the choice can be overwhelming! There are literally hundreds of different Flat Irons to choose from amongst a vast majority of Hair Straightener Brands.

Over the past 6 years I have reviewed many different brands and types of Hair Straightening irons and have concluded that there are a few important factors you want to take into consideration when making your descision in buying a new flat iron.


How to Choose the Best Hair Straightener Iron

1. Features – when buying a new flat iron you want to make sure the one you choose has features that will benefit you and your hair type. The best features to look for in a hair iron include temperature control with at least a high of 400 Degrees, ceramic and tourmaline.

A hair straightener that does not reach a high of at least 400 degrees will not benefit those who have thick, coarse and/or curly hair. Ceramic and tourmaline together work to provide negative ions which in return provide safer, healthier and better looking results.

2. Size – when it comes to your flat iron, size does matter. I have always recommended a 1″ plate as this is the most versatile size. With a 1″ styling iron you can not only straighten your hair but curl, wave, flip and add volume as well.

3. Brand – with anything we buy most of us will choose a product that we are familiar with or have heard positive things about. When choosing a hair straightener, ask for recommendations from friends and stylists and read reviews online. Doing a bit of research can end up saving you money in the long run.

4. Warranty/Guarantee – Always make sure to check the warranty and guarantee before the purchase of a new flat iron. What happens if you do not like, can you return it? If you are not buying directly from the supplier make sure you find out who you need to contact should something go wrong with your hair iron.

About the Author

From a young age I was fascinated by how one can change not only their outer appearance but there inner self as well with beauty products. For as long as I can remember, my grandmother, now 87, has always had the softest, most luminous skin, and still does. She honestly glows and not only from her daily lotion rituals. But because she has always taken the time to care for her outer self, which makes her feel good, her inner self radiates this beauty.

To me, beauty products are not about making someone look better, to me they are about adding to the beauty we already have. Taking care of ourselves not only keeps us healthy and vibrant looking, but feeling that way as well. When we feel good on the inside, we emit that on the outside.

I love trying new products and I love the excitement of finding a new beauty product that makes me feel and look my best. I love blogging and writing about beauty and beauty products so that I can share them with my readers in hopes that maybe they too will find a product that makes them feel good as well.
