Flat iron technology has come a long way since it was first invented so that the heat emitted from them now is a little more protected than before, and therefore, so is your hair.
Ten to 15 years ago, the infrared heat that came out of flat irons was directly used on the hair to straighten it and these types of heat rays were very damaging to the hair.
Then it was discovered that when ceramic is heated, it gives off a different kind of heat than infrared coils so flat iron technologists looked for a way to heat up the ceramic without using the coil. It was then found that a ceramic heater could hold the heat in the flat iron for longer without breaking the hair, unlike original models.
The most recent wave of flat irons has introduced ion into the design of the ceramic part. Ion is the part that makes your hair less frizzy, so when it’s baked right onto the ceramic plate, it reduced hair breakage and makes the hair shinier. Ceramic ionic straighteners are currently the best flat irons available.
But with so many flat irons on the market – how do you know which is the best one? First, you should do your research and know what the reviews are, where the product is made and what it’s actually made of. Some flat irons use lower quality ceramic or ground ion and the ion ends up chipping off, which is damaging for the straightener and your hair.
At Star Beauty Plus, we sell most of the well known flat irons and those are the ones that people tend to come in looking for. But we are committed to only selling the best products and when we can’t find the best product, we make it ourselves, as is the case with our Suji Pro ceramic tourmaline ionic straightening system.
Yes, the Suji Pro costs a bit more money, but we also put more money into it – we pay for quality and in turn, so do you. The Suji Pro can heat up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hotter than a standard flat iron and means that it can straighten in half the time. Plus, there’s not need to worry about it being too hot or forgetting to turn it off. After it sits turned on and inactive for more than 10 minutes, it will automatically shut off – saving you power and making the flat iron last longer.
Stop by the Star Beauty Plus retail location at 49 Matheson Blvd. E in Mississauga for a Suji Pro and do away with your old flat irons.
