Set It Straight: 9 Stylist-Approved Flat Irons for Sleek Hair

When it comes to absolutely messy, frizzy and curly hair that needs a good task master to get it under control, this flat iron from Corioliss will come in use. Most salons will have these flat irons as they are sturdy and get the job done.

Another favourite, Remington has a range of great flat irons, but the one I really like is the Wet 2 Straight flat iron. I personally prefer to straighten freshly washed hair as it’s clear of all natural oils. It can get really tedious to dry and then straighten, especially when you’re in a bit of a hurry. It doesn’t give you a complete straight finish if you have super curly hair, but for those with mild frizz, this works great.

We all need to travel with our irons, but sometimes carrying those heavy duty ones just take up space and a whole lot of energy. This flat iron from Lifelong heats up to 210 degrees and has a ceramic coating that will give you sleek looking hair in minutes, without damaging it.

If you’ve never used a flat iron at home before and want to buy your first one, then I definitely suggest going for this one by Phillips. They are easy to use, not too intensive and yet it results in silky hair. The Selfie Hair Straightener heats up to 210 degrees which is hot enough for almost all hair types to get smooth. Also, it has universal voltage which makes it great to take with you wherever you go.

This is my go-to straightener! I’ve used many of the ones on this list from friends and at salons, but when it comes to my personal preference, it is this one by Braun. It gets the job done — the IONTECH technology makes the hair silky and frizz-free. This technology also protects coloured hair and doesn’t strip the colour off your freshly treated hair.  

This uniquely shaped flat iron by Torlen makes it really easy to straighten those bangs or a fringe near the face. Since there are no sharp edges, you can really get to the root without burning your ears! Plus this little guy heats up to 230 degrees which is effective for those of us who sometimes need that extra heat to get poker straight tresses!
