There are many different flatirons on the market and all are not created equal. There are many qualities that make a flatiron great. Here's what to look for:
1) The plates should be made to come together flatly, with no gap. There should be no gaps around the plates. The gaps could be so tiny that you don't see them, so test the iron first. If you feel your hair being pulled out or see hair in the flatiron, the plates are not set in well.
2) Ceremanic plates are best. They are smoother than metal & therefore gentler on the hair.
3) The temperature should be at least 400• and should have a heat adjuster (finer hair can use a lower temp). The heat should remain consistent. If you are swiping each strand of hair three times, it's not hot enough.
A great flatiron will cost $200-$300 but will last 10+ years. It's worth the investment!:)
