White Hair Straightener

Flat irons for curly hair are just one option, as you can also use these hair appliances to curl straight hair. The style you end up with often depends on multiple factors. When straightening your hair, you start near the root and glide the plates over each strand of hair in a smooth downward motion. However, curling is slightly different.

Hold your flat iron vertically and use it exactly as you would a curling iron. You can start at the end and twist the iron away or towards your face, gliding the strands through while you're twisting. To create tight spirals, try a horizontal curling approach and use smaller pieces of hair. For looser curls, the vertical curling method with 1-inch strands of hair should work well for most. You can even wiggle your straightener down the length of the strand in an S-motion for texturized waves. A heat protectant spray applied before curling can help enhance shine while safeguarding against damage. 

The best hair straightener for you depends on the features you're looking for. El Conair Ceramic Flat Iron has 2-inch plates for versatile styling options. The ceramic coating on the plates heats evenly for consistent results and smoothes hair to help prevent frizz. If you want a multifunctional flat iron, check out the Kristin Ess 3-in-1 Flat Iron. This elegant white hair straightener is designed to straighten, curl and wave most hair types with its 1.25-inch floating titanium plates and customizable temperature.

Refer to the package literature for instructions on how to use your new hair straightener. Most flat irons have a cord and plug into a regular outlet. Some may require a certain amount of preheating time before use, which should be listed in the instructions. The information that comes with a flat iron typically includes guidelines for choosing the right heat setting for your hair type.
