Hair straighteners, your opinion please, ceramic or metal plates?

metal burns you hair, and ceramic doesn't. BUT metal straightens faster.

Ceramic all the way, metal plates are so damaging for hair, it's much better to pay a bit more for a genuine product and keep your hair looking great. I personally suggest the Karmin straightener, it uses pure ceramic tourmaline which combines the best of both worlds, and it makes your hair super straight and silky.

Ceramic plates are better for your hair. If you plan on using it all the time go with that. If its only for occasional use metal plates will straighten it faster and won't cause too much damage cause you're not using it that often. Make sure you use a really good conditioner too. You'll be gorgeous!

Hair straighteners with ceramic plates usually give the best results for straightening your hair. The proffesionals at salons usually use either:

-CHI (most common)

-GHD

-sedu

-maxiglide

The straighteners above usually take about 10 - 15 min to straighten your hair if it is around medium - long hair. It's pricy though, around $90 - $170.

Hope I Helped.

I would say Chi is the best straightener. They cost about $120. But they are worth it. It will keep my hair straight as long as i dont get it wet, and it keeps my hair healthy, which its hard to do, cause my hair is very thick. They also last a long time, my cousin has had one since she was 13, she is now 21, and it works like brand new.

metals straightens hair faster but mind you it burns especially when you have a soft skin. Ceramics are slow in yielding results but then they are mild to the skin. Now if you have a sturborb hair or a strong hair, why not go for metals but if you have the time and patience then I will always advice you to use ceramics. you will love it.

I would go with the ceramic one. I have a ceramic one from conair. I got it at wal-mart for like $30.00. The ceramic ones don't straighten as fast but they don't damage your hair as much.

Ceramic ones! They seem to be the least damaging and create the sleekest look. My fave was actually under $20 by conair. I have a small one and a large one.

there's no question here - its has to be ceramic plates, they have revolutionised hair straightening especially the ghds which are without doubt number 1.

ceramic is always best...try to get one that heats rather quickly. decide how high the temp max should be by the type of hair you ...for example if you have thick hair the temp should go up to 420 degrees....

...big paddled straightners are good if you have long hair...

...smaller paddled straightners are good for if you have med - short hair and if you wanna get closer to the scalp of your hair...

hope this helps
