Tame – Pro-Style Titanium Tourmaline Flat Iron

Flat irons are a great way to tame ill-behaved hair. They can also help you to totally change your style with just a couple of minutes of work. They’re especially useful for those who are looking for a quick way to switch up their look, or Have hard-to-tame fly-away hairs, unruly curls, or wavy-but-not-quite-straight hair.

Flat Iron Plate Material

The most important aspect of hair straighteners is the plates, and the material they are made of are. They use a combination of heat and pressure to change the shape of your hair to make it straight, curly, or crimped. The plates generate heat that transfers to your hair when you apply pressure to it. This forces your hair to temporarily conform to the plates’ shape, which makes your hair curly or straight, depending on the motion that you make with it.

The plates can be made from several different materials, and the plate material that’s right for you depends entirely on the type of your hair.

  • Tourmaline irons – Tourmaline irons are a fairly new innovation. They are usually composed of ceramic base plates coated in ground-up tourmaline (a type of stone). These irons can smooth hair up to six times more effectively than ceramic irons. Tourmaline irons are also more effective at low heats than most other irons. They are great at maintaining a consistent heat.
  • Ceramic irons – Some of the oldest and most reliable flat irons on the market are ceramic irons. The great thing about these irons is that they are great for virtually all hair types. They work by generating negative ions that smooth your hair, and they get hot quickly and stay hot, and they tend to last a long time. You should avoid irons that are labeled as “ceramic coated” because ceramic coating will break down over time and cause problems with heat consistency.
  • Titanium irons – Titanium irons are usually more lightweight than irons made with other materials. They are often lauded for their reputation for not burning hair and their ability to maintain and distribute heat evenly. Titanium irons don’t work well for delicate, thin, or already-straight hair.

 

Which Iron Works for My Hair Type?

You’re in luck if you have thick, curly, or full-bodied hair because titanium, tourmaline, and ceramic irons will all work wonderfully on your hair. On the other hand, you’ll want to avoid titanium irons if you have especially thin, fine, or straight hair. This is because titanium irons can reach very high levels of heat. This can damage your hair, especially if your hair is thin or fine. Finally, those who have wavy or medium-bodied hair can also safely choose any one of the three plate options (titanium, tourmaline, and ceramic).

 

What Size Plate Do I Need?

The plates typically come in two sizes: wide and narrow.

Wide plates – Wide plates are over one inch in width. They are perfect for longer hair, and can straighten more hair at a time.

Narrow plates – Narrow plates are one inch in width or less. They’re better-suited to people with short to medium-length hair, and they are perfect for more in-depth styling techniques like curling and crimping.

The wider the plate, the more quickly it will straighten your hair. However, narrow plates will provide more versatility for those with a variety of styling needs—like curling one day and smoothing the next.

 

Available accessories and tools

Today, many flat irons come with a range of accessories and tools to keep your styling sessions hygienic, easy, and safe. Here are some of the accessories and tools that are available:

  • Replacement plates – They help you to extend the lifespan of your iron.
  • Cleaning tools – They help you keep the straighter as effective and sanitized as the day you purchased it.
  • Heat–resistant mats – They allow you to place your hot iron down without risking fire or damage.
  • Carrying bags – Irons sometimes include a convenient carrying bag. This bag is perfect for those who travel often and want to keep up with their styling routine. Some bags are even heat resistant. This helps you to reduce the risk of damage and fire.
  • Holders – Some irons come with a holder that helps to make storage safer and more convenient. The holder attaches to the edge of a table, sits on a surface, or mounts to a wall.
