What your straightener plates are made from makes a huge difference to their effectiveness on different hair types and to hair damage from flat irons.

There are quite a few buzz words which get thrown around when it comes to straightener material: titanium, ceramic, tourmaline, etc

What is Ceramic?

• Heat conducting coating on the plates

• Isolation layer between your hair and the steel/aluminium plates.

• Don’t mistake it to be anything else

What purpose does it serve?

• Even heating of the plates

• Reducing hot spots and cold spots

What is Titanium?

• Super-fine & super-smooth coating on the plates

• Isolating layer between your hair and the steel plates

What purpose does it serve?

• Even heating of the plates

• Reducing hot spots & cold spots

• Seals & closes the cuticle due to it's superfine polished texture

Are they the same? Can they be compared? Is one better than the other?

• No. Technically, they are not in the same league.

• Yes, titanium is better than ceramic so is it more expensive than Titanium.

Which one should I buy?

• Basic ceramic for a beginner's budget

• Ceramic + Tourmaline for one step ahead and for much better hair-health and shine.

• If you want a superior quality, high performance, durable and long-lasting plates, Titanium is the answer

• If you already own a ceramic or ceramic+tourmaline, your next upgrade should be Titanium

Hope that this little guide has helped you to understand flat iron materials a little better so that you’ll know which hair straighteners are best for your budget, hair type and style.
