Using a more traditional method of a round brush and blow dryer can help you straighten your otherwise coarse or curly hair, often leaves you with static and frizz. A simpler solution to straight hair has been around since the early 1900s: the flat iron. The first flat iron was invented by Lady Jennifer Bell Schofield, a Scottish heiress, who put two heated, hinged plates together and used them to straighten hair. Flat irons work by using heat to break down your hair’s hydrogen bonds, which are what make your hair texturized and curly. Once you break those bonds, your hair’s cuticle will lay flat and smooth.
Like any good invention, flat irons have been improved and have only gotten better with time. Instead of just two, heated plates hinged together, today’s most effective flat irons have ceramic heating elements, Nanotechnology, tourmaline charged ions, and variable digital-control temperature settings for simple styling. Flat irons today come in various sizes and with oodles of features to fit your lifestyle.
One of the most popular novelties in flat irons is the use of ceramic, which allows for even distribution of heat and easy styling of hair. They heat up quickly and hold the heat in without stressing out your cuticle and damaging your hair. Ceramic flat irons produce negative ions, which help seal in moisture and your hair’s natural oils, leaving your hair silky and smooth. All ceramic irons produce ionic, far infrared heat that helps to seal in moisture and oils while reducing static and frizz. This ionic and infrared technology will allow you to seal in additional moisture that is normally lost in the straightening process, resulting in less split ends and other damage that can be caused by repeatedly overheating your hair.
