Choosing Hair Straighteners: Part 2

In the first post we looked at the major considerations when buying hair straighteners:

-Price,
-Hair Type,
-Plate Type.

There are other day-to-day factors that will decide how easy and how often you use your straighteners:

VOLTAGE SELECTION:
The best hair straighteners will have voltage selection and a multi-plug so that they can be used pretty much anywhere. This is vital if you travel a lot and always need to look your best. (And who doesn't!)

SAFETY:
It is very important that your hair straighteners have some kind of auto-shutoff, perhaps after 30 minutes. You are dealing with heat and electricity so this is vital; everyone has left the house leaving the iron or their hair straighteners on!

Make sure that where the power-cord goes into the body of the straighteners that it can swivel a full 360 degrees. This will cause less strain on the cable and stop those endless kinks forming.

WEIGHT:
If you are using hair straighteners every day you will soon notice the weight so check this before you buy. If you already have hair straighteners check their weight against your intended purchase.
