About this deal

When I first put this straightener to work, it heated up in just 20 seconds. I sectioned my hair into one-inch pieces, glided the iron through my hair from root to tip, and it went from frizzy to smooth and polished. Despite having just one heat setting of 392 degrees, the temperature was enough to reshape my hair in just one pass, although I did have to do two passes on the layers around my face. This was refreshing because I get a little anxious about heat damage when I have to go over the same section several times.

Plate material: Titanium | Plate size: 0.75 inch wide, 3 inches long | Temperature: 380 degrees Fahrenheit | Weight: 7.6 ounces | Cord length: 5 feet, 11 inches | Warranty: 2 years This mini is the straightener you want to stash in your bag for long weekends, trips abroad or just to use at the gym. It heats up in just over 60 seconds to a single heat setting of 380 degrees, which is hot enough to shape hair into super straight strands or perfectly imperfect flatiron waves. BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium 1.5-Inch Flat Iron: This model offers five heat settings conveniently placed on the side of the iron, and it covers a lot of ground per pass with its wider plates. But its vents—which are intended to eliminate excess heat—produced a drag, and the iron left crimp marks on my hair because the edges were more straight than beveled. In testing, it only took 20 seconds for the iron to beep and indicate it was ready. To use this tool, you press the button on the inside of the smart styler, and it heats to 365 degrees. “This standard setting is the ‘sweet spot’ where the heat can break down the hair just enough to mold it into shape and fight frizz without burning it or causing damage,” says Henry. “Maintaining this slightly lower temperature ensures your hair will be healthy, straight and tremendously shiny.” While straightening, predictive sensors in the plates monitor heat 250 times per second to make sure the iron doesn’t overheat and potentially singe your hair.

I found this compact model to be lightweight, comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver. Its combination of floating plates and rounded barrel helped serve two purposes: avoiding dreaded crimp marks when trying to style hair close to the root and doubling an adept straightener and curling iron alternative. It’s great for touching up second-day hair, especially face-framing pieces or flyways at the roots. It also comes with a heat-resistant travel pouch, and has a 360-degree swivel cord, universal voltage and auto shut-off after 30 minutes. Using a hair straightener can be a time-consuming extra step in your journey toward polished hair. The process requires patience, precision and even some additional upper arm and shoulder strength. You want the payoff—ideally silky, smooth, shiny hair that looks really, really good—to match the effort you’re putting in. The last thing you need is for frizz to start creeping in ten minutes after you walk out the door. There are several factors, like materials and plate width, to consider in a flat iron. We consulted professional hairstylists who have extensive experience with these hot tools. Here’s what to keep in mind when choosing the best one. Material Plate material: Ceramic | Plate size: 1.5 inches x 4 inches | Temperature: 250-410 degrees Fahrenheit | Weight: 15.8 ounces | Cord length: 8 feet, 11 inches | Warranty: 1 year Product Specs: This cordless flat iron uses ceramic-coated plates and maintains an optimum styling temperature of 365 degrees Fahrenheit.

As you begin your search for your next flat iron, you’ll notice that there are several plate materials available—ultimately impacting how fast the iron heats up and how the tool works to straighten each strand. “Ceramic irons take longer to heat up and they heat the hair from the inside, [while] titanium heats up immediately and heats the hair on the surface,” explains Parker. “Straightening hair from the inside is better than heating the hair shaft.” According to her, which option you should choose is based on your hair type and desired look. “If your hair is soft, smooth, and easy to flat iron, use ceramic, but if you have more stubborn, coarse hair, use titanium.” Essentially, titanium plates will heat faster and require fewer passes to achieve that pin-straight look. Plate material: Ceramic | Plate size: 1 inch x 3.75 inches | Temperature: 365 degrees Fahrenheit | Weight: 14.3 ounces | Cord length: 8 feet 8 inches | Warranty: 3 years I find smoothing the hair first with a blow dryer allows me to use less heat with a flat iron,” says Henry. Patience and precision are also key. “It’s best to straighten in small, 1-inch sections,” she says. “Start by placing the iron as close to the scalp as possible and gliding it through to the ends. Do not stop on any one area of the section you are ironing because holding it on there too long can cause damage or breakage. Repeat the section if necessary, remembering to keep the iron moving continuously.” How Many Passes Can You Make On The Same Section While Straightening? Conair Infiniti Pro Titanium Flatiron: I didn’t love the hissing sound this ceramic iron made while on, and it left my hair with a significant amount of frizz after several passes.

T3 Smooth ID: Along with a new name, the Smooth ID is a consistently top-rated smart iron, and I love that it has heat personalization and a lower temperature “Refresh” feature for day-after hair. However, the buttons are fussy to press, and I used multiple passes to get my hair smooth. Harry Josh Cordless Ceramic Styling Iron: This straightener was a standout due to the smooth glide of its nano silver tourmaline floating plates, three heat settings and the fact that it gets 40 minutes of full power from a single charge. It straightened well, but only after two to three passes per section. It took 70 seconds to reach its middle heat setting—longer than non-cordless models by about 45 seconds—and the exterior placement of the power and heat settings button was just where my hand gripped the barrel, making it very easy to accidentally change the setting. The 1-inch plates on this iron make it versatile enough to work well for short or medium-length hair, or on bangs or fine baby hair around the face. “A 1-inch plate allows for a grip tight to the root regardless of hair length,” says Nicole Henry, senior colorist at Warren Tricomi Salon. However, the Chi may be slightly more time-consuming to use on longer hair between the single set temperature and the face that the plates cover less surface area. I tested dozens of hair straighteners and found the top models to be from Chi and GHD. Molly Calhoun
