Ceramic Hair Straighteners

Ceramic plates are included on all industry-standard hair straighteners. Many hair straighteners available from shops online or in the high street are crafted based on the best tools professional hairdressers use in salons. Ceramic hair straighteners are a great example of professional technology that’s been adapted for in-home use.

Hair straighteners are nothing new – they’ve been around for decades. The first patented hair straightener was made by Simon E Monroe in 1906. His design was basically a hot metallic comb. In 1909, Issac K Shero patented a hair straightener more like the ones we know and use today – it was made from two flat irons that could be heated and then squeezed together around the hair. Though innovations continued through the years, it wasn’t until recently that ceramic heating elements were used in straighteners.

Modern hair irons, made with ceramic elements are less likely to damage hair during the straightening process. They’re also more efficient as they heat up faster and provide more consistent results. Leading brands making ceramic hair straighteners include GHD, Nicky Clarke, TRESemme, Remington and FHI. Ceramic hair straighteners are easy to use and with fairly little practice, you can get great results.

The popularity of ceramic hair straighteners makes them prime targets for counterfeiters – so always read the product description thoroughly to ensure what you see is what you get. A common trick that low-end manufacturers use is to apply a special paint coating to the heated elements of a straightener so that it appears to be made with high-quality ceramics.
