Best hair straighteners – Part 4

Let's see the best hair straighteners are definitely the ones that appeal to all types of hair groups. They don't just target Asian hair, wavy hair, or chemically altered hair. If a hair straightener costs $200 let's not jump too the conclusion that it is a product that will only deliver results for 3-6 months, this item could last 7 years. A hair straightener should do just that number one, even if you have Hispanic or African American roots flowing through your locks. Men should be able to say hey this works on even me. What would send a red flag about a product is, if personal injury or illness were to follow, after using the product or gasp! it doesn't straighten. Just because top personality names it as his/her brand, it comes with a 4 year warranty, or 60 day money back guarantee doesn't mean it meets the standards of the consumer. And it should be what the consumer says that matters. Products that have been deemed harmful to people or the environment, or useless in their endeavor should be removed; and the marketing for those items stopped.

People want to know when they use a product right before a hot date, child's graduation, or just because they want to see something different in the mirror that if used properly, they will get a good result. Sure there will be misapplications, or over use of hair straightener products by people. Some people do not read warning labels or if there is a medical concern, they don't ask a physician or nurse. Wanting too look the coolest at school or trying to impress a new client, means more to some consumers then what the FDA, their physician, or own scalp tells them.

The best hair straighteners do not damage the scalp, but enhance the hair that decorates the scalp. The best hair straighteners work today, and 2 years from now whether rain or sunshine. The best hair straighteners do not work 100% on African American hair and only 60% on native American hair. The best hair straighteners aren't necessarily under priced but, they also aren't costing a leg and a leg. The best hair straighteners help hair look healthy and shiny, don't damage hair cuticles, and give the consumers and their constituents something lovely and clean to look at.

Best hair straighteners – Part 3

-Best hair straighteners-

-GHD-

Without a shadow of a doubt, GHD's are the ultimate hair straighteners ever. Ghd standing for 'Good hair day', are an innovative, well branded, and relatively new invention. Created in the year 2000, they revolutionized the process of hair straightening. They are one step beyond when compared to the average hair straightener. Using a new technology, the heat which the ghd's posses is one of the keys to the ultimate success of these hair straighteners.

Ghd's are now a household name. They have replaced the old fashioned style of hair tongs, and they are quite simply the 'only' brand to own. Used, and sold in most hairdresser salons here in the UK, they are considered to be the best available by the styling professionals in the hair industry.

GHD's have made it cool and funky to straighten your hair, in fact hair straightening is a must in the trendy youth culture of today, and these are their first choice from the multitude of straighteners available on the market. So you simply aren't 'in' if you don't own ghd's. They are a number 1 brand, used by the rich and famous. Many hair and beauty editors of major fashion and life style magazines have all bigged up the benefits of the Ghd straightener here in the UK and also abroad.

These straighteners have ceramic and tourmaline straightening plates, and they reach peak heat extremely quickly roughly 10 seconds I'd say. Which is great in the morning when you have limited time when getting ready for work. They also have a cut off function, in case you accidentally leave them on. So the safety aspect is catered for very well. When you use your ghd's your hair will remain straight until your next hair wash. I've never known a straightener leave my hair so silky and straight, poker straight I'd say.

They are truly amazing! The tourmaline straightening plates really protect the hair follicle, because they work by evenly distributing the heat through the hairs shaft. The actual straighteners are slim and easy to grip. They are well made and come complete with a very long lead, which is always very useful. They are a dark brown in color, but they also do a baby pink version of the straighteners.

The ghd's work by destroying the hydrogen bonds within the hair follicle, so the hair will remain totally flat and ironed until the hair becomes wet again. Humidity can even be catered for as ghd do a brilliant serum to counteract this. So no more frizzies or wavy hair when the scalp

Sedu Flat Irons – 5 Tips To Prevent Damage

Sedu flat iron became so popular the last few years that in some places, when you say hair flat iron, you say Sedu flat iron. How ever, as any good thing damage is possible if misused.

To understand the possible damage of Sedu flat iron, one must become familiar with it. Well, Sedu flat iron is a type of a hair flat iron with the purpose of straightening hair.

Sedu flat iron is considered the best flat iron today. It was rated the best hair flat iron and preferred by the leading hair stylists all over the world. It has patented ultra smooth ceramic plates which guarantee straightening without hair pulling or breaking.

To avoid damage using Sedu flat iron follow the following guide lines:

1. Do not use the Sedu flat iron on wet hair. Even if your hair is slightly damp you can cause severe damage to your hair and the treatment will not be effective. Your hair might get scorched and have permanent damage.

2. Make sure your hair is clean prior to using Sedu flat iron. Actually, we advise to use a shampoo and a conditioner suitable to the hair formation before using Sedu flat iron. Then, the best thing will be applying a leave-in conditioning spray for the hair which will protect the hair for an extended period of time.

3. Size matters and in most cases the smaller the better. If you are an average woman who hasn’t got a very long hair, you should use a Sedu flat iron with the size of up to 1.5". Wider flat irons are available but are heavier and less efficient for the average hair length.

4. Manage the heat of the iron wisely. Over heating your hair may cause severe damage. Use the paper tip : Before applying the Sedu flat iron on your hair, take a small paper misted with water and put it in between the flat iron plates. If the paper gets dry but not scorched, then the heat is properly set.

5. Work with small sections of hair. That way, all hair will be straightened evenly and there will be less heat transactions over your hair.

Theses guide lines were written based on the experiences of women who use Sedu flat iron. Following them will optimize your flat iron use.

Solia Flat Iron Buying Guide

Solia flat irons are one of the biggest selling brands today. Only brands like CHI and Sedu can claim to sell as many hair straighteners. Apart from marketing, its success lies in the features you get, at a price that's very competitive and that many buyers just love the job it does on their hair. The following compares Solia to other brands and evaluates how it compares.

There are a lot of models of Solia flat iron to choose from, however, there are three basic ones. Each major type offers a different function, whether it is tourmaline or a world traveler edition. What's impressive about each model is its price; without doubt these tools are one of the most competitively priced on the market, which has no doubt contributed to their popularity.

First off we have the Solia Tourmaline Ceramic flat iron. There are 4 different models to choose from, the only difference being the plate size. You have the choice of 3/4", 1", 1 1/2" and 1 3/4". I really like that there are 4 plate widths to choose from; most other brands usually only feature a 1" and 2" version for any particular model.

Another great feature of this model is that the plates are 100% ceramic and are coated with tourmaline crystal. Tourmaline emits 6 times more negative ions than does ceramic. Negative ions close cuticles thereby locking in moisture. This means that hair is less damaged and stays straighter for longer.

These hair straighteners also come with Dynamic Alignment System. The plates aren't rigidly fixed, but will move slightly to follow the contours of your hair. This helps to ensure that heat is applied evenly.

Both the dynamic alignment and the tourmaline are excellent features that most other tools lack - the Corioliss flat iron also comes with these features and is, in my opinion, one of the best styling tools on the market, but it costs a lot more than the Solia.

Finally, this hair straightener can be used on damp hair. Prices start at around $70.

The Solia pink flat iron is popular. It's exactly the same as the Tourmaline Ceramic range. The only downside with this tool is that it's only available with 1" plates. It really would have been nice if the choice of plate widths was the same as the Tourmaline models.

The last of the irons is the Solia Universal Dual Voltage flat iron. The adaptor that comes with it allows it to be used anywhere in the world. A clever feature is that the pins on the plug can be changed to match the different sockets found around the world - how many of us take a long our universal hair tools but forget to by a plug adaptor? However, the coolest feature has to be the fact that a 12 volt car adapter allows you to use it in your car!

The price of this model is $100, which is great value for such a versatile tool. Again, only 1" plates are available. There should be a 2" version as well, oh well. It's also a little on the heavy side when compared to the other models, but it's not meant to be used everyday, so I don't think this is a big deal.

The price of a Solia flat iron along with the features you get make it a great buy. It may not be the best flat iron you can buy - the Corioliss is certainly better - but you just can't beat it in terms of value for money.

Looking For A Flat Iron – Here’s Some Cool Tips

Besides cost, there are other considerations when it comes to buying the best flat iron. For one thing, there is no such thing as the 'best' hair straightener, rather the best one will be the one you feel most comfortable using and gives you the best results consistently. Here are some tips you help you buy the one that'll make your hair look its absolute best.

Most models sold have either 1" or 1 1/2" plates. While these are fine for most hair types, those with course, very thick or long hair might be better advised to choose one that comes with 2" plates. Of course, the wider the plates, the heavier the tool. Straightening hair can take anything from 20 to 40 minutes, so you should select one that isn't too heavy as you'd be surprised at how tired your arms and wrists will feel after about 20 minutes.

The width of plates is of lesser importance than what they're made from. Only buy a flat iron that has ceramic, ionic or tourmaline plates. The old fashioned and very cheap metal ones are most likely to have hot and cold spots and can all too easily burn hair.

Ceramic is used as it is very smooth and distributes heat more evenly and quicker than metal. Ceramic plates also emit far-infrared heat that helps to preserve moisture within the hair shaft and cause less damage to the hair cuticle. Negative ions are also emitted. These help eliminate static electricity and deliver shinier and sleeker results.

One word of warning: even very cheap models will now tout that they have ceramic plates but most likely they will only be coated with ceramic. Before you buy, make sure the plates are 100% ceramic. Good makes like GHD, Solia, Sedu and CHI flat irons are made with 100% ceramic plates.

Many are now described as Ionic flat irons. Negative ions are thought to rejuvenate and revitalize the body and mind. Negative ions are sufficiently powerful enough to break down water molecule droplets into finer micro-particles that can then be absorbed into the hair shaft. Ionic hair straighteners dry hair more quickly, leaving it softer, shinier, and more manageable with less split ends.

Ionic tools tend to be more expensive but many feel they are worth paying the extra for. The Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion flat iron is a good appliance, as is the Farouk CHI flat iron.

Tourmaline has been around for a while now and is used quite extensively. Tourmaline is a crystal that has been found to emit 6 times more negative ions that ceramic. Therefore ceramic plates that are coated with tourmaline crystal are even better at locking in moisture.

The latest technical innovation is Nano Silver Technology. When plates are heated, a thin film is produced over the plate, which kills 99% of bacteria. You'd be surprised at how many microbes can be found on any typical styler. The elimination of bacteria leads to shinier and cleaner hair. Watch out for Nano Silver, many more manufacturers are going to start make this type of straightener. Those that are currently available include the Linea-Pro Corioliss C2 Flat Iron and the CHI Nano Ceramic flat iron.

Remember, the best flat iron is the one that you'll be comfortable using and is consistent in producing the results you want. Expensive doesn't always mean best. Instead look to see how much it weighs, what the plates are made of, variable heat control, safety shutoff and a good warranty.

What Ceramic Flat Iron Is The Best?

Buying a good ceramic flat iron isn't cheap and you'll be paying over $100 for one. Several factors determine the quality of a ceramic hair straightener and whether it'll work best for you. Here's a list of the best with a quick note as to why they are so highly rated.

The following list breaks down into the main types of hair straighteners available based on features, technical innovations and ease of use. It's not an exhaustive list and there may be plenty of people who disagree or will find that their 'perfect' iron isn't in the list. However, it's meant as a guide as its aim is not to overwhelm the reader with too much data.

Ceramic

If you're looking for a plain, no-fuss ceramic model then you could do a lot worse than buying the CHI Original flat iron. It comes with 1", 100% ceramic plates, a generous 10 foot swivel cord, with flash heat up time, 35 watts (saving you money), and it's now been discounted in price and retails for around $80. This tool has been on the market for quite some time, has a loyal fan base and receives a very high rating in most customer reviews. Another excellent product is the GHD mk3 flat iron. It's been superseded by the mk4, but still retails for around $190. It's of professional standard and will last years. It's about half the weight of the CHI Original. It's only negative point is that the temperature is fixed at 370F.

Tourmaline

Tourmaline is a crystal that emits 6 times more negative ions than does ceramic. Hair straighteners that have tourmaline coated ceramic plates are better at locking in hair moisture, which makes hair shinier and smooth but also helps to prevent heat damage. The T3 Tourmaline flat iron is one of the best. Models come with 1" and 1 3/8". There are variable heat settings between 170F and 410F. They cost from around $140.

Ionic

Ionic hair straighteners and hair dryers emit more negative ions than those made with ceramic parts. The GHD mk4 is an incredible appliance and is highly rated. Unfortunately it's incredibly expensive and will set you back $240. If you're looking for a good cheap model then consider the Solia 1" Ion that retails for around $70 - what's really nice about the Solia is that you have a good selection of plate widths; 3/4", 1", 1 1/4" and 1 3/4".

Wet to Dry

This type is becoming more popular as you can do away with first having to blow dry your hair. They can be a little more difficult to use, but with practice the results are amazing. The best of the bunch is the T3 Tourmaline wet to dry, CHI wet to dry and the Corioliss Tourmaline wet to dry. They retail from between $140 and $160.

Nano Silver

Some of you may not have heard of Nano Silver Technology, but I suspect everybody will hear about it soon. Simply put, Nano Silver Technology kills 99% of bacteria found on the plates - you'd be surprised at how much bacteria you can find. This technology helps to keep hair clean and also shinier and straighter. Both the CHI Nano Cermaic Digital and the Corioliss C2 flat iron are excellent. Both feature digital controls that allow you to set and monitor the temperature and both have automatic shutoff. With the Corioliss there's a digital remote control that can be clipped onto your belt. The C2 range also looks very sleek and feature bold and funky color combinations. The Corioliss costs from around $200.

If I had to pick the best flat iron out of all those listed above it would be the GHD mk4 flat iron. It is expensive but it really it really is an amazing hair straightener.

5 Cool Tips On Using a Flat Iron

Are you tired of all the celebs having perfectly straight and shiny hair while you're stuck with a frizzy mess? Of course you are! Fortunately there is a secret weapon the stars use and you can have it at a fraction of the price. Flat irons have made a huge impact on the world of hair. A flat iron can take even the curliest hair and make it stick straight.

In the 70's women did not have the luxury of having flat irons at their disposal. To get straight hair they had to iron their hair out with a real clothes iron. It sounds crazy, right? It goes to show how far women will go for fabulous hair. Don't worry, put the iron away. You can find a flat iron in your local Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, or almost any store that carries blow dryers. Flat irons, also called straightners, range in price from $10 to hundreds.

When buying your flat iron, look for an iron that has an adjustable heat setting and a gold plate on the inside. The adjustable heat setting will allow you to control how much heat is going on your head. Women with mostly straight hair already can use a low heat setting, saving their hair from high heat damage. On the other hand, women with very curly hair can use a hotter setting, helping the hair to straighten more easily. The gold plate protects your hair and helps it from burning.

After you purchase your flat iron you are right on your way to straightness. Simply follow these steps to get that perfect look.

1. Plug the flat iron in and adjust the heat setting to match your hair.

As a rule of thumb use as little heat as you can. Continuous exposure to high heat can lead to damaged hair and split ends. At a lower setting of heat you may have to go over the hair a few times. A higher setting may only take one time to get it right. Play around and see what works best for your hair type.

2. Spray hair with a flat iron shine spray.

This is not completely necessary but will protect your hair from damage. A flat iron spray will create a barrier on your hair to protect it from heat damage. The spray also adds shine to the hair and helps the straightner work easily.

3. Divide your hair in sections.

Pin up the top of your hair so you can straighten the bottom first. Sectioning the hair helps you have a complete look and makes sure you get the hair underneath.

4. Place the flat iron close to the root of your hair, clamp the hair and slowly move the flat iron down until the hair is no longer in the flat iron.

Make sure you move slowly so the hair takes the heat. If you rush your hair will not get as straight. Continue to do this until your entire head is finished. Repeat if necessary.

5. Spray hair with a finishing or hair spray for hold.

A little bit of spray will ensure that your locks stay straight all day. Make sure to spray underneath your hair as well. Use extra spray for wet or humid days.

The time it takes to complete straightening your hair with a flat iron will vary based upon the length and thickness of your hair. Longer hair will take more time then shorter hair. The same is true for thick hair.

Remember practice makes perfect. Pretty soon you will be able to flat iron your hair in no time. The celeb's secret weapon is now yours.

What’s The Best Flat Iron On The Market?

There's no such thing as the best flat iron. A straightener than works best for one usually doesn't work so well for another. To find the most suitable you first need to decide on budget, plate width and what special features, if any, it should have; like steam, dual voltage etc. Here are one or two suggestions to help you along.

Personal recommendations from friends and family are great, especially if you can try out the straightener. That way you can see the results and decide if it works the best for you. Also, read as many flat iron reviews as you can. When using reviews you should compare like with like; obviously comparing an expensive GHD flat iron to that of a cheap Conair flat iron is meaningless.

The following recommendation are by no means exhaustive, but are meant to help you along the way.

Cheap

A good cheap iron is one that will at least straighten hair and not burn it. No matter what model you buy make sure it has ceramic plates; it's best if the plates are solid ceramic and not just coated, though this is easier said than done. The Conair flat iron is great value for money. The Infiniti 1 1/2" is a good all round straightener and costs as little as $40. It's cordless and also has tourmaline coated ceramic plates. What's really very appealing is that it comes with a 5 year limited warranty.

Wet To Dry

The wet to dry flat iron is becoming increasingly popular as the need to first blow dry hair perfectly dry is done away with, which saves times and subjects hair to less damaging heat. Nearly every manufacturer now makes one. The model you buy should have special channels and vents to allow excess moisture to drain and evaporate away; if it doesn't have these, it's not really a wet to dry appliance. A good budget model is the Wigo Damp or Dry Ceramic 2" flat iron. The Maxiglide has 'bursts of steam' which those with very unmanageable hair might like, though it's rather heavy and bulky. My favorite is the Corioliss Tourmaline Ceramic Wet to Dry flat iron with 1.75" plates - a very well-built and easy to use tool.

Professional

If you really want one of the best flat irons you should look to buy a professional standard model. They're expensive but they'll last longer, do the job quicker and better than cheaper models. Companies like Paul Mitchell, CHI and Solia make good models, however I would recommend the GHD Mk4 flat iron - very expensive but probably the best styling tool on the market.

Trendy

Yes, hair straighteners are becoming more beautiful to look at. First we had pink ones and even purple ones and ones with lime green plates. But, the most trendy and stylish looking has to be the Linea-Pro Corioliss C2 flat iron. It not only looks good but is also a very good styler. It has nano-silver technology (kills 99% of bacteria and removes dirt from hair, leaving it shinier), an overall sleek design, has a funky digital remote control and comes in very stylish color combinations.

As I said earlier, there's no such thing as the best flat iron. You can pay top dollar for one like the GHD flat iron or buy one that's cheap like the Conair flat iron, it doesn't matter. What matters is that your happy using it and are happy with the way it straightens and styles your hair.

GHD Flat Irons – Are They As Good As The Hype?

Originally from the UK, and being very popular in Salons across Europe, GHD flat irons have become best sellers in places like, South Africa, Australia and the US. They are one of the most expensive on the market, costing anything up to $230. Naturally, many want to know if they really are worth it and which model to buy. What follows is a review of the models on offer and whether or not they match up to their price tag.

The price of a GHD flat iron puts it in direct competition with the likes of CHI, Paul Mitchell and Solia. However, most of the irons on offer from the other brands are cheaper, so what justifies the cost?

Let's take a look at each model and what features it has to offer and compare it to other brands to see if it's worth buying.

The GHD Mk3 flat iron remains a popular choice for many. It retails for around $180. What's good about this hair straightener is that the heaters are the same size as the plates which ensures an even distribution of heat - most plates are heated with 's' shaped heaters so the plates can have cold spots. Also, the plates are not fixed like most, but 'float', meaning the will adjust with the contour of your hair and therefore maintain an even application of heat.

What's bad about it is that the temperature is fixed at 370F. It's been on the market a while and it really is looking a little outdated. It compares badly to the new CHI Nano Ceramic Digital 1" Flat Iron. This Chi appliance has nano silver technology which helps to remove impurities from hair as its being used, helping to keep hair looking straighter for longer. It also cost around $40 - $50 less.

I wouldn't recommend the mk3; it's good but is an older model and it's over priced.

The GHD Mk4 flat iron is a different matter. This is the upgrade to the Mk3. It's very expensive, retailing for around $240. The ceramic heaters are mounted on aluminum; this metal significantly reduces static electricity. The outer body has a fire retardant coating which helps to keep the outside from getting too hot. It has universal voltage so you can use it anywhere. It features a 'shiver' mode that protects the ceramic plates from condensation that can damage them if the room temperature is below 5 degrees C. The Mk4.1 can be bought along with a DVD that shows you how to use it and create various hairstyles.

Although expensive, this straightener is of professional standard and does a great job of straightening hair. It's far more expensive that either a Paul Mitchell or CHI, but it is also far better. If you're looking to buy the best flat iron, then you should consider buying the Mk4. By the way, for those that like pink, there is also a pink version available - it'll cost you another $10.

No matter if you buy the Mk3 or the Mk4 you'll be getting one of the best flat irons on the market. A GHD flat iron is simply the best money can buy; the only other product that compares is the CHI Nano Ceramic Digital 1" Flat Iron.

What’s The Best Flat Iron For You

In order to choose the best flat iron for you, we have listed the key areas you want to know before making your final selection.

What type of heater does this iron feature?
The most important part of your iron is the heater. There are several different heaters an iron can have and usually the quality of the heater will determine its strength and abilities. The best ceramic heaters on the market today is called PTFC. The PTFC heater is found in all “true” ceramic flat irons and give you the best functionality and conditioning of the hair.

How powerful is the heater found in the iron?
Heaters can vary in strength. Do not be confused by how hot an iron can get versus how strong the iron is. You do want an iron that can reach high enough temperatures, but more importantly you want an iron that can sustain a constant temperature throughout your usage. An iron will drop as much as 80 degrees due to the heat transfer from iron to your hair. When the iron is lifted from the hair, the heater is triggered and the iron will try to recover the loss of heat. This is called the “recovery time”. An iron with a good recovery time will give you the most constant heat.

How high do I need my iron to get for my hair type?
Hair texture and length varies from person to person. Through tests, it has been found that the average temperature needed for optimal results is around 370 degrees F. Of course this is just an average. If you have very thick hair you will probably need an iron that can reach a higher temperature. Alternatively, if you have very thin fragile hair, you will need an iron with less heat.

Is it significant to have an adjustable heat control on my iron?
We highly recommend choosing an iron with an adjustable or variable heat control. Because the textures of hair differs, you would want the ability to adjust the heat to find the best heat setting for your own hair.

I see the irons come in different sizes. Which is the best size for my hair?
Most irons will come in a standard 1 inch, a smaller size around 1/2 inches, slightly larger one around 1 1/4 inch and a big one usually close to 2 inches. It really is a personal preference which size is best for you and experience plays a part in it as well. The slimmer sizes are generally easier to control and more versatile with different styling that the thicker irons. The thicker irons work very well with long thick hair types.

What kind of warranty comes with my iron?
This is one area that most people do not take the time to research. The warranty of an iron varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. You will want to pay very close attention to what is covered and what is not. Most manufacturers will offer a 1 year warranty.

I am still not sure which is the best iron for me.
If you are still not sure which is the best iron for you. You can contact us and we will be happy to assist you
