Here are some definitions and tips.



Ceramic plates are infused with a ceramic material which will distribute the heat evenly with no hotspots. It is said to preserve moisture by penetrating to the center of the hair shaft, exposing the hair to less heat and to eliminate frizz.



Goldtone is simply a gold-tone metal plate



Sapphire lower grade mineral than the gem, it is ground and infused onto the plate to distribute heat more evenly



Tourmaline a mineral ground and infused into the plate. It is rated most effective because as it is heated, it creates more pressure to flatten the hair than other of the substances, therefore leaving shinier hair and making the hair style last longer. It creates negative ions which leave more moisture in the hair



Ionic Negative ions eliminate frizz by leaving more moisture in the hair shaft.



Be careful, the potential for damage to the hair is big, some of these flat irons reach 450 degrees and more. Be good to your hair, use the least amount of heat to get the job done and maintain a good hair care routine . . . condition, condition, condition. Use a thermal active product for at least some protection. (I like Kenras, Thermal Styling Spray for one.)



Choose a flat iron size that is right for your length and type of hair. The width varies; thinner irons are easier to manage than the wider ones, but the wider ones will cover more hair for quicker results (long or thick hair) The 1to 2are the most popular sizes.



A good flat iron will:

Create a lasting style - till your next shampoo

Be more effective and save you time on styling your hair

Leave the hair silkier, shinier and healthier

Not pull or snag your hair

Have a variable temperature selection

Heat up quickly



A flat iron that is not so good will:

Be less effective in lasting results

Take too much time to create a hair style

Cause hair pulling, causing pain and breakage

Burn the hair easily

Have minimal heat control







***I had a Chi for a while but the cord tends to short out alot. After i got sick of sending it off to get fixed, i just bought a whole new one. I bought a HairArt off of Amazon.com. It was exactly $100 and it works fantastic! I keeps your hair pin straight for a long time.***Which hair straightener is best the ceramic-titanium or ceramic-tourmaline?
Tourmaline,its a rare mineral that comes from caves and its worth alot of money,and it is less damaging to your hair
gold plates help to heat up faster while silver doesn't damage ur hair, i think you should get one that uses steam; it striatens your hair the healtiest way and work the best
tourmaline.. i have a global beauty flat iron from folica.com, chi is also a good brand
My favorite flat iron is the globel beauty which is made by CHI
