Buying new hair straighteners can be a laborious task. Trying to decide on what brand, styling capabilities and even heat settings can be confusing, but choosing your straighteners doesn’t have to be hard. Follow our easy tips on what to look for when buying your straightener of choice.
What brand should you choose?
We all have a brand loyalty when it comes to choosing styling equipment. Whether it’s GHD, Corioliss or DIVA, they all offer similar qualities for salon-ready hair.
The major differences come in the design and aesthetic qualities. For some of us, we want our straighteners to stand out from the crowd and reflect our personality – and with Corioliss’ C3 design we can all feel unique. With different designs and patterns, Corioliss heads innovation in the haircare world with its dedication to style. At the minute we can’t get enough of the Mosaic Design to give us glamorous and perfectly styled hair.
Looking at heat safety
You always want to find a hair straightener that has a built in safety mode. When there comes the time (and it has happened to all of us!) that you forget to turn off your straighteners, it’s important that your straighteners turn themselves off after a set amount of time. The Corioliss range has a safety ‘sleep mode’, meaning the styler is turned down after 30 minutes. It also comes complete with a matching heat-proof travel pouch.
What can they do?
When it comes to buying a new hair straightener it’s rare that we just want them to stop at straightening, so it is important to know what your styling tools can do when you buy. If you swap between having curled hair to straight, then choose one that offers both options in one piece of equipment. We recommend the Corioliss iRed Infrared Straightener for a tool with multiple options. This straightener dons curved plates that heat up rapidly, which make it the perfect styling iron for curling, waving and straightening. The iRed Iron has a maximum heat of 230°c and a 360° swivel cord that makes creating any style quick and easy.
Sometimes shine is something that you want to achieve with a straightener that can be hard.
The DIVA Radiant Shine Sunrise Styler makes this a breeze, though. It has plates that are infused with macadamia oil, argan oil and keratin, which means you get a glossy, frizz-free finish every time.
Shopping for new straighteners should be a treat, not a chore. With Justmylook, the process couldn’t be simpler. If you have any of your own tips, feel free to leave a comment!
