    Buying a hair straightener

    Types of straighteners

    There are many ways to straighten hair. One of the go-to methods is the blowout: a blow dryer and larger round brushes. However, for hair that is already dry or is particularly curly, additional or alternative hair styling tools may be necessary.

    Flat irons and heat combs—also called straightening brushes—employ heat to coax the curl out of hair. Hot combs are good at loosening curls, making curly hair wavier. Flat irons, meanwhile, can lead to more pin-straight and sleeker results. Many users with very curly hair like to use both a hot comb and a flat iron in combination to achieve the best results.

    Some flat iron designs are versatile in that, with practice at additional techniques, you can use them not only to straighten hair but also to add styled waves, shape bangs or add a flip at the ends of your hair. With the right hair products you can create your own salon experience at home.

    Using a flat iron

    If you are using a flat iron for the first time, make sure you have allotted extra time to get comfortable with it. You will want to try the iron’s effectiveness at different temperatures—starting low and working your way towards hotter settings. Using the lowest effective setting will help to protect your hair from heat damage. There are also heat protectants that you can spray on your hair. These are particularly important if you regularly use heat styling tools—even just a blow dryer.

    Depending on the flat iron you buy, you may also be able to use it to curl your hair without buying a separate curling iron. For the most controlled results, however, you might want separate tools. When choosing the best flat iron for you, consider features, price and reviews.

    If you have a long hair routine, set a peaceful atmosphere with an essential oil diffuser and some music. You will need a good mirror, and you might love the benefit of using a neck massager or foot spa.
