Although embracing your hair’s natural texture takes a lot of guts, sometimes, a girl just wants to have fun, doesn’t she? Well, if you’re looking to alternate your style between curls and straight hair, here is a HairGlamourista article that will give you information on some of the best hair straighteners in the market.
Call them hair straighteners, flat irons, or straightening irons, they work on the principle of breaking the hydrogen bonds that are responsible for the hair to become curly. These hydrogen bonds are present in the cortex of the hair. The quality of plates used determine their effectiveness. Infrared and ionic technology is used in some straighteners which minimize the frizz in the hair by sealing in the oils and moisture.
