Hair Straightener Buying Tips

Hair appearance and style has become an important feature of beauty, appearance, and confidence in today's society of which the hair straightener has an important role. So when buying a styling iron you need to select a brand and it's model that suits you - in terms of hair type, ease of use, features, durability, and of cost. Often as is the case, you may not find the straightener you are comfortable with, until a few have been tried and compared, in conjunction with reading various online reviews. Image by Patriot Pro.

Initially though, and for those that are buying for the first time - How do you decide what iron would be suitable? Maybe the tips below may help, but you may already know or can easily find out - by reading numerous hair iron and style tips online, or seeking advice from family or friends or a professionally trained hair stylist. But then again, like cars, many new later model "designer type" straighteners will always enter the market. In New Zealand (NZ), their are some online avenues to purchase hair straighteners.

Thus today's buying tips, may differ slightly from those in the future. Hence for those concerned with their hair's presence it can be an ongoing quest to constantly try different hair straightening styles - and why not? Hair is about presence - evolving styles, tinting, dying, and beauty for many, and without future development of hair straighteners (and other hair care products) one may not be easily able to achieve such flexibility in their hair's characteristics.


Buying Tips for Hair Straighteners

* Research first - Read reviews online (ideally those with similar hair styles as yours), talk to Hair Professionals, family friends. Hence arm yourself with information - perhaps from a objective or comparative stance.
* Consider buying a used unit cheap, and a new affordable unit. The used iron for your standard use and testing, and the new one for occasional use - perhaps for special occasions.
* When you "finally" decide - purchase a known brand iron (bearing reading reviews and price), such as Remington, CHI, Vidal Sassy, Conair, and Revlon. Perhaps mid priced popular brand unit as your first buy - depending on your personal hair care needs.
* High quality genuine ceramic plated elements and the Tourmaline ceramic flat irons are the best - offers durability, heat stability, and a quick heat up time. Therefore less risk of hair damage. Also, ask if the iron has those features that still work, for used iron units.
* Different plate widths for different hair - Wide plates for longer thicker hair and thinner plates for shorter thinner hair. Many have 1.5 '' inch plates.
*Consider a temperature control iron - Will be handy to test to find the ideal setting for your hair - and others if they borrow it.
* Purchase a lightweight or suitable weight iron for comfort, as it can be a strain with repeated arm movement. Also handle design or ergonomics should be considered.
