When you are considering buying a good quality flat iron, there can be some confusion in deciphering the technological jargon. With the price ranges so varied and the cutting edge technological features, there is no doubt that you will want to have a better understanding of exactly what these amazing technologies mean to make the best flat iron purchase, a real value for money.
Just like any other investment, knowing exactly what you are paying for and if it fits your desired hair styling needs will keep you focused when you buy.
Researching what you don't understand is vital before you purchase your new flat iron. Mostly, people understand flat iron features like variable heating temperatures and even the differences in plate width options. But for features and differences between aluminum, gold and ceramic plates or what exactly Tourmaline does, can be much harder to figure out.
Most all professional grade and even the some less expensive flat iron models have Ceramic plates. Ceramic plates are much better than aluminum and even gold coated plates, because of the smoothness and silkiness that comes from using ceramic plates. There is no chance of hair pulling or catching, and the ceramic plates are vital in protecting your hair from extended damage. Plates that have an extra coating end up getting peels and chipped look with regular use resulting in hair damage during styling. The damage is greater from flat iron heat when using other types of plates outside ceramic plates.
Some of the best flat irons now use a natural crystal which is embedded within ceramic plates to give you healthy, soft and clean hair.
Tourmaline is a semi-precious silicate crystal that contributes to the hair smoothing process, while you use your flat iron. It is crushed into a fine powder and mixed or baked into the body of the heaters plates, coils, motor barrels and even bristles of various hair styling tools. Ceramic Tourmaline plates are best at eliminating static electricity and improve your hair drying and styling time. It is a lightweight material that seals in hair moisture and protects of your hair.
The cheap drug store flat irons do not have natural crystals to protect your hair but only have coatings of ceramic over copper and aluminum elements. You might get deceived by the looks but with regular use, these coatings peel away giving way to extreme hair damage. Putting in a little extra to get a flat iron with Tourmaline technology will benefit you more with time. Tourmaline enhanced flat irons are available in all plate widths, so you can choose the one that suits your hair. Tourmaline is extremely beneficial for those who have damaged or colored hair as it helps to seal in the hair color while softens and smoothes brittle hair for less breakages while styling.
Being a natural crystal with an amazing feature of emitting large amounts of negative ions and infrared heat, it is a perfect combination to be used in hair styling irons These negative ions counter-act the positive ions, present on dry and damaged hair, helps in sealing moisture inside your hair cuticles. It promotes natural, organic health and makes your hair shining, soft and healthy.
