Product Information

But when it comes to picking a new pair of hair straighteners (cordless or not), there are a couple of non-negotiables you ought to look out for. The only small complaints were that’s it’s heavy and too wide-paddled for hard-to-reach areas, but ultimately it scored head and shoulders above the rest. My usual routine is pretty regimented - or at least it used to be - and wen't a little something like this: shampoo and condition, apply leave in mask (if I'm feeling fancy), then pool my arsenal of vetted styling products (creams, lotions, potions - all that jazz). It left testers with frizz-free strands and they liked the low 160°C temperature option – ideal for those keen to avoid excessive heat damage.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. From travel options to steam pods, to coconut oil-infused plates, we've covered all bases because if you've had the same irons since your teenage years, tech has come a long way since then. We updated this article in July 2023 to add new hair straighteners the internet won't stop talking about, delete outdated oldies, and check in with new experts for the latest in hair straighteners, just for you.

If Rachel Green circa Friends is forever your icon and you're looking for the best hair straighteners, you've come to the right place.It heats up quickly, it's easy to use, looks sleek, feels great as I grip the iron, and doesn't snag as I run it through my hair. One of the original cordless hair straighteners on the market, the Balmain Universal Straightener is lightweight and travel-friendly.

Quick to heat up, it left unruly strands poker-straight in only a few glides and kept hair frizz-free in humid weather. Lightweight yet premium, our panel liked how the wider ceramic plates cut down on styling time, gripping sufficiently without any snagging, tangling or scorching.Its wide plates made it easy to achieve quick results, even on fuller manes, to leave them frizz-free after use. This one is also great for straightening hairs close to the roots or smoothing short styles, like a sleek Hailey Bieber bob or pixie cut. It comes with a clever charging stand and takes only 45 minutes to charge, which then gives 30 minutes of styling time.

Meanwhile the extra-long plates (125mm) are great for those with longer or thicker locks, speeding up the process by straightening more hair with each pass.Even if you only straighten your hair once or twice a month, it's absolutely worth investing in a quality flat iron. Even though they can be magical for straightening 4c hair, they can also be hella drying (the steam attaches itself to the water in your hair strand, pulling it out and evaporating it). The battery takes 2 hours to fully charge, and offers up 20 minutes of continuous styling at ghd's optimum temperature of 185°C. ghd claims that the plates on this straightener can detect the thickness of your hair and the speed at which you are styling, before auto-adjusting the power accordingly.
