What To Know About A Professional Straightener

By Darryl Jones


A lot of people these days are considering the idea of using a professional straightener when it comes to flat irons in general, often because they can help cause less damage and better overall results when compared to lesser brands. However, deciding on the right one can often come down to having a good understanding for how irons work, how they might differ and what's really out there.

Flat irons are used to straighten the hair follicles by using high amounts of heat, which can provide a more sophisticated, smoother look in general. Those with straight hair may use it for a more polished appearance, while those who have curly or coarse hair may use it to entirely straighten their hair all together.

The hair is typically washed, conditioned and blow dried straight before using an iron, although some people may use air-drying techniques in order to cause less damage on their hair. Once the hair is dry, it's is coated in a special heat protecting spray or cream, then usually ironed straight using small sections of about one to two inches wide.

Irons can be found both online and offline, depending on what type you're looking for. They can also be purchased throughout many salons as well, and many stylists will be happy to assist you on finding the right one for you hair care needs. Even general stores will carry them, although higher quality or more professional types are often found in beauty stores or salons, both in-store or online.

Despite the fact that there are many brands out there that are, both professional and consumer-based, it's highly important to have a flat iron that's of good quality in order to protect your hair properly, and no two irons are alike. Typically, many people believe that a good iron has true ceramic tourmaline plating that's coated, won't snag hair, heats up quickly and is able to reach the appropriate amount of heat necessary to smooth the hair quickly.

Although there are a lot of brands out there that people use, some of the more common, top-of-the-line ones include FHI, CHI, GHD, Sedu, SalonTech and Hai. While these are also often at the top of the price range when it comes to what's available, many find that they can be well worth the investment.

Lesser brands often don't offer what is necessary to achieve great-looking results and less damage on the hair. For example, people who may have coarse hair often require higher amounts of heat, which many consumer brands typically don't offer. As a result, this may mean needing to pass over the hair more than once, causing further damage. Professional brands offer things such as negative ions to help maintain moisture, safety automatic shut-off features and high, even heat distribution. Typical brands that boast these qualities are often GHD, FHI, CHI and so forth.

Sometimes, in order to choose the ideal professional straightener for your hair, it can come down to understanding your actual hair type. For instance, you can ask your stylist or speak with stores that carry these items in order to determine how much heat may be best for your hair. Some people even go a step farther and check out video demonstrations and reviews left by customers online in order to see which ones may provide the best results them.
