FLAT IRON VS CERAMIC STRAIGHTENER:

WHICH IS BEST FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIR?

 

It is a very personal experience, choosing a Flat Iron styling tool for yourself. If you are seeking to have an understanding of ironing and styling tools, you should check out the Questions and Answers at Amazon.com. It is a place to start –

During my initially awkward attempt at researching this topic, I looked at one article written by a man who has a stepdaughter of African-American descent. He explained that his daughter liked a rotating hot iron with rotating heated polishing cylinder. Thus, today we are looking at InStyle MAX 1.25″ 2-Way Rotating Tourmaline Ceramic Straightener and Styler.

There are some insightful ‘Q and A‘ on this flat iron – which actually is a Ceramic Straightener and Styler

 

TIP:  It should be noted that this product is an ‘AMAZON CHOICE‘. Apparently it is their favorite, of all the ceramic straighteners.  It doesn’t come cheap either, ladies.

However it just may get the job done — so you should read the REVIEWS at Amazon (scroll down for ‘Reviews’ once at Amazon).  It is touted to ‘straighten better‘ with minimal effort (according to Amazon copy).

From Amazon: “The rounded design of the rotating barrel and tourmaline ceramic heated plate prevents creasing and crushing that can flatten hair”

From the amazon product page : “the MAX Rotating Styler is preferred over flat irons for straightening and controlling frizz“.

Basically, it sort of polishes the hair, thus reducing FRIZZ.

Tip:  Use the Tool very slowly

I know that dealing with hair can be frustrating, and painful. I find myself cursing my own hair, which is WHY I can relate to anyone with ‘Frizz problems’.

The good thing about Amazon, ladies, is they have a decent return policy! So you feel FREE to seek out and find the ceramic straightener and styler that is BEST for u.

FINAL TIP:

You will want to remove all the tangles before styling (since the tangles can interfere with the hairstyling process).  You shall apply the deep conditioner the night prior .

Hey, it’s worth the extra bother if it protects your hair ! 

Of course, you have to set the temperature to the highest for ‘effective styling’ of your thick hair.

(You must consider the thickness of your hair, to determine the proper heat setting)

Yet you should test it with a piece of Tissue Paper – if your tourmaline ceramic styler burns the tissue paper, do NOT proceed.

The stronger and thicker the hair, the higher the temperature requirement for styling. The African American hair is that Strong and Thick that it would require a higher temperature  to get straightened.
