Flat irons are heated straightening tools offering some advantages over the chemical straightening options. If you want the option of curling and waving your hair, choose an iron with plates that have a rounded edge. Wet-dry models are great to eliminate wasted time on a two-step process involving both a hair dryer and a straightener.
Look for variable heat settings as thick hair needs more temperature and thin hair needs less heat to style. The faster an iron can recover the more likely it is to maintain steady heat, an important feature of any iron. People with very long, thick or curly hair can opt for plates 2 inches wide. Keep in mind that the larger the plates, the harder it is to maneuver the iron.
Opt for models that have an indicator light to tell you when the iron is ready. A comfortable grip, either a scissor style or clamp style and an automatic shut-off ensure increased safety. Usually clamp styles are best for one-handed straightening. Having a long swivel cord is also a nice convenience feature.
