Flat Iron Crimper
How to crimp your hair with a flat iron.
Several types of flat irons are available on the market for a wide range of prices. Mainly they come in three types - Ceramic irons, Tourmaline and Ionic irons. Ceramic irons are perfect for distributing heat consistently so that there is a less risk of burning hair. Tourmaline heats up quickly and creates high-shine, super straight styles, which will last for a long period of time.
Here are some of the features of a good flat iron.
A wide flat iron of two inches or more is best suited for those with thick, long, curly hair. In the same way, a narrow flat iron as little as 1/2 inch is ideal for short or thin hair. Remember that a narrower iron is best if you want a flat iron to be used for styling besides straightening, since it is more handy and convenient. For making the process much easier, always seek a model with length to the iron. Square style heat plates get little hair coverage and they are inclined to let hair slip out. For the best results, opt for those that span the whole length of the iron clamps.
Compared to others, the fastest heat-up is found on tourmaline irons. A good flat iron should have an indicator light to tell you when the iron is ready. It also has variable heat settings for thin and thick hair needs. Another significant feature is Recovery Time. The faster an iron can recover the more likely it is to maintain steady heat. It also has an automatic shut-off to ensure increased safety. Clamp styles are usually best for one-handed straightening. It has attachments such as interchangeable styling plates for crimping or straightening and finishing combs for improving hair shine.
A comfortable grip - either a scissor style or clamp style - is important for a good flat iron. A good design is also very important. A flat iron should have smooth, rounded edges. If it has any sharp plastic corners, they may catch on your hair. Along with too much heat, it is one of the biggest risks for damaging your hair while straightening. Another nice convenience feature is having a long swivel cord. To eliminate wasted time, wet-dry models are great. They work on a two-step process and involve a hair dryer and a straightener. To determine the temperature of the iron, digital flat irons take away the guess work. These types are often more expensive; but may easily be worth the additional money.
