In order not to be disappointed in your new purchase and choose the best iron, when choosing and buying, you need to pay attention to some of the characteristics of the device.

The next most important characteristic is the width of the working plates. This property of the tool affects its usability. There is no one-size-fits-all width measure. In this regard, your choice should be based on the condition and individual characteristics of your hair. So, if you are the owner of thin curls, then irons are suitable for you, the width of the plates of which is 2-2.5 cm.On the other hand, this indicator will not work for girls with thick hair, they should choose a device whose plate width is at least 3 cm ...
In addition to the width of the plates, you must also pay attention and on their shape. According to this indicator, irons are divided into 2 large categories: devices with a straight and rounded shape. Preference for one type or another should be given depending on the purpose for which you plan to use the styler. So, if your goal is straightening, then you should choose a device with straight plates.But if with the help of an iron you want to not only straighten, but also curl your curls, then you should give your preference to tools that have rounded plates.

Be sure to make sure that the device you are purchasing has a thermostat. So, depending on the type of your hair and the purpose of using the tool, you will have to adjust the temperature. Unruly hair needs indicators of at least 200 degrees, while a temperature of 120-150 degrees Celsius is suitable for thin curls.
In addition, many models of irons come with additional attachments (for example, a corrugation attachment or a removable comb). Moreover, most often such a device will cost more.
