A hair straightener has recently become an incredibly popular product; you can look great with it without visiting a beauty salon. With the help of a straightener at home, incredible hairstyles are obtained without the help of stylists. But how to buy an iron that has the necessary functions to achieve the desired result, because now manufacturers offer a wide range of styling devices of various price categories and technical capabilities?

Many women choose inexpensive straighteners that are designed for home use. Some people prefer professional models with increased functionality, better plate coating, but also significantly different in price from budget devices.
Experts will help you make a choice, including in the rating of the 9 best irons according to customer reviews and expert opinion.

How to choose a hair straightener

Before making a purchase, you need to familiarize yourself with the main parameters that you should pay attention to.

1. Coating of plates. They come in ceramic, aluminum, teflon, tourmaline, titanium, marble and diamond. Metal coated irons are affordable, but they dry out the hair and destroy its structure. The rest of the materials not only do not harm them, but some of them also make them healthy.

2. Plate width. For thin and short hair, irons with narrow fabrics are suitable, for long and thick hair – wide. For bangs or as a travel option, mini models are produced.

3. Temperature regulation. A very important parameter when choosing. It allows you to select the right temperature for different types of hair and avoid damage and drying out.

4. Availability of additional attachments. If you plan in the future not only straightening, but also curling or corrugation, then you should pay attention to irons with additional attachments.

5. Price. It depends on the additional capabilities of the device and on the manufacturer. The main selection criterion is the optimal ratio of cost and ironing functionality.
