For Hair Straightening – Although it’s best to Air Dry, we’re all going to use Heat, so here’s the breakdown! Look for ceramic or tourmaline plates because these have gentle heat, adjustable temperature, and even heat distribution—these help prevent damage, dryness, and breakage.
Ceramic because it will smoothen your hair cuticle, reducing breakage and Tourmaline Technology takes it a step further by releasing negative ions, which lock in moisture, reduce frizz, and protect against dryness! Here are some of the best Anti – Frizz, Heat – Protectant, Cost – Effective Straighteners. I’ve brought all my straighteners from Amazon, Ulta, and Wal-Mart!
Remington Shine Therapy Flat Iron – I like this one a lot because it has Ceramic Plates infused with Aragan Oil and Keratin and has double protection! This one is really quick to straighten your hair and I get a sleek finish with one or two passes. And under $40! Also on Amazon. 🙂
BaByBliss PRO Porcelain Ceramic Straightening Iron – This is a good one for many reasons, and it does have mixed reviews some of us love it some of us not so much. I’ve had some amazing results! But this will cost you a little more! It’s about $90.00 but it will get you super sleek hair! This one is at Ulta.
The Dyson AirStrait Straightener – Last but definitely not least – this is the Fairy GodMother of all Straighteners! It’s the safest of them all because it uses airflow instead of any kind of traditional plates, there is no heat damage, and it’s perfect for fragile fine or damaged hair. You can’t go wrong with this straightener for sure but be ready for that total! This one is $499.99 but for a good reason! This is also at Ulta.
Even the safest, popular straightener can cause damage if overheated—stick to lower temps and always use heat protectant for healthy, glowing hair. Try to avoid going over your hair repeatedly even if it’s not “perfect”, you just don’t want to burn the hair follicle. Happy Straightening!
