Many people with experience straightening their hair prefer ceramic irons over metal. According to manufacturers, ceramic irons tend to heat more evenly and their temperatures remain steadier. Ceramic straightening irons should also give you more control over your hair and help you get even the most unruly curls to fall in line. Another feature that you might want to look for in a straightening iron is adjustable heat. Different levels of curls will require different levels of heat. If you have thin, slightly curly hair you most likely will not need the same temperature as someone with long, thick curls. In fact, if you have thinner hair and you use an iron that burns extremely hot, you can actually singe your hair. Conversely, if you have thick hair and your iron doesn't get hot enough, you will find the straightening process can be long and a bit painful. Chi has produced what many consider to be a top-of-the-line straightening iron. It's a ceramic design with variable heats. Its ergonomic design enables you to curl and flip your hair with a simple wrist twist. Recessed heat paddles can also prevent skin burning. Other leading manufacturers such as Sedu and Wigo have also designed effective straightening irons for people with every variation of curly hair. Some curl along the lines of a roller set, while others work just as well on wet hair as they do on dry. Irons with removable combs should make the entire process of shaping, lifting, and smoothing faster and more exact. |
