Also referred to as a ceramic straightener, a ceramic flat iron is a heated hair styling tool used for straightening and smoothing wavy or curly hair. A ceramic flat iron consists of a handle attached to two flat plates that heat up. The plates are made of ceramic, because ceramic has been found to be gentler on the hair than other materials used for hair straighteners.
Ceramic flat irons usually produce heat ranging from 100 degrees Fahrenheit (about 38 degrees Celsius) to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (about 200 degrees Celsius). The lowest heat possible should be used to put off damaging the hair any further. The majority flat irons offer variable heat settings, in conjunction with a digital temperature readout or indicator light to show that the iron is hot.
Generally a ceramic flat iron creates smoother, shinier hair since the ceramic plates give out heat more consistently and maintain a steadier temperature. They will also reduce frizz. Thus, lots of major salons and hair stylists to celebrities make use of this kind of tool.
