All women want to look stylish and beautiful. An important point for this is the hairstyle. It’s good, of course, if you have your own hairdresser, but not everyone has such an opportunity, and visiting a hairdresser is also not always possible due to lack of time.

You can make beautiful styling at home on your own. There are many devices for this: hair dryers, hair tongs, curling irons, irons for straightening curls. It is important at the same time to choose the right styling accessory, which will become an indispensable assistant in this.

Types of straighteners

Manufacturers offer a huge range of such devices. Distinguish household and professional models. Straightening irons work like this: plates heated to the right temperature straighten wavy hair or create curly curls from straight hair.

Household appliances are beautifully designed and have many additional functions, however, they are often unnecessarily. Their cost is less than that of professional devices. All stylers (another name for irons) have special temperature controls, as different types of hair react to external influences in different ways. To avoid damage to the hair, you need to choose the right material for the coating of the heating plates. There are the following types:

• Ceramic;
• Teflon;
• metal;
• titanium;
• Combined.

Each type of coverage has its pros and cons. The disadvantage of metal plates is slow heating and cooling, as well as the fact that cosmetics stick to the surface. Sometimes there are difficulties in adjusting the temperature, which leads to damage to the hair.

Household appliances

Ceramic coatings have less effect on the hair structure. Tourmaline, a type of ceramic, emits negative ions that give hair extra shine.

When choosing, the width of the plates, which is selected according to the type of hair, is of great importance. Owners of a thin structure, most likely, stylers with narrow plates are suitable. Therefore, for thicker hair, it is recommended to purchase a device with wider plates.

It is important to consider other factors as well. It can be case material, design, ergonomics, etc. According to customer reviews, a rating of the best stylers (rectifiers) was compiled.
