How Ceramic Hair Straightening irons Work?
Ceramic hair straightening irons have caused another revolution is
straightening. Causing no damage and having great innovative products.
Contrary to popular belief, most ceramic hair straightening irons have
ceramic coated plates to give a non-stick smooth surface, obviously the
more expensive the straightener the thicker and more highly polished
the coating. The plates are usually made of aluminium for fast heat
transfer. Straightening irons that are sometimes referred to as "solid
ceramic plates" are in fact often straighteners with ceramic coated
aluminium plates with high performance ceramic elements.
The ceramic heating technology comes from the high performance element,
through ceramic coated plates, which can reach as high as 210 degrees C
within seconds, and then stay at the exact operating temperature thanks
to microprocesser technology. The high operating temperature and non
stick ceramic coated plates seal down the cuticle and remove excess
moisture, for instant sheen and straightness for professional looking
results that can last 2-3 days. The results are also moisture
resistant.
There are two distinct types of ceramic hair straightening
irons, styling irons and finishing irons. Styling irons can be used to
style rough dried hair, saving the need for too much blowdrying.
Finishing irons have less performance and are designed to give polish
and finish to a blow dryed style, ideal for getting rid of awkward
waves, adding shine and finishing the style. They usually heat to
bellow 200 degrees.
Most high end ceramic hair straighteners now have temp control
from 70-210 degrees so you can select the best temperature for your
hair type.
Most popular ceramic hair straightening irons have plates
which are about 2-3 cms across. The ceramic-coated plates give a
non-stick, smooth and polished straightening result. Ceramic or Infra
red elements always stay at their optimum temperature due to micro
processor control, for optimum straightening, as well as heating up to
their operating temperature in seconds. The non stick ceramic-coated
plates, together with a high operating temperature, simply smoothes
away curls and frizz.
Unlike conventional straighteners that snag and stick to hair,
ceramic hair straightening irons can actually be good for hair! They
can seal in moisture and remove the need for excessive use of the
hairdryer, plus the results can last for days!
