How to choose a hair straightener?
It’s definitely worthwhile to invest in the best hair straightener you can find in Singapore to protect your hair from any further damages. Here are some factors to consider when choosing which hair straightener to purchase:
Width of plate
If you have long and thick hair, go for hair straighteners with wide plates. Wider plates can straighten more strands of hair with each stroke, helping you to quickly style your hair. Narrow plates are better for those with short or medium length and thin hair. Hair straighteners with narrow plates will help regulate the amount of heat needed and prevent hair damage — preferable for those with thin hair.
Material of plate
- Ceramic — perfect for most hair types since ceramic holds heat very well and allows the plate to achieve high and evenly distributed temperature
- Titanium — ideal for thick hair as it heats up even faster and can keep high heat at a consistent temperature
- Tourmaline — high negative ion concentration in the plate leaves your hair less frizzy and shinier, suitable for those with damaged hair
Temperature setting
Does high heat necessarily equate to faster and more effective straightening? Contrary to popular belief, high heat can be very damaging to your hair. Some of the best hair straighteners in Singapore offer adjustable heat settings, allowing you to control how much heat is applied to your hair. Set your hair straightener to around 300-degree Celsius to retain the moisture of your hair. This leaves your hair smooth and shiny rather than dry and frizzy.
Type of hair straightener
Choose the type of hair straightener that best suits your needs. If you’re looking for a hair straightener to use on a daily basis, opt for the common wired flat irons designed with basic temperature settings. Simply plug it in near your vanity table so that it’s ready for use whenever you’re getting ready for the day. Get a hair brush straightener if you want to put in minimal effort into styling your hair but still look good. If you’re a travel junkie, portable hair straighteners are made just for you! Because of how compact they are, you can fit them into your travel bags without having to worry about overweight luggage!
