How to choose the best hair straighteners for you
Hair straighteners don’t come with lots of buttons to press or multiple attachments to use, and they all aim to do exactly the same thing: create straight, smooth tresses.
Does it matter what size the heating plates are?
Wider plates are always best because they’ll power through your hair more effectively, right? Wrong! If you have long, thick or curly hair, large plates (or anything bigger than an inch thick) are great. But you won’t be able to do as much curling and styling with these. Plates of around one inch are far better for this, as well as for most other types of hair. The exception to this is short hair, which benefits from thin plates of anything under an inch, which provides the precision you’ll need.
