Benefits of a Pure Ceramic Flat Iron

Ceramic is a very popular material in styling irons, and considering its near-magical heating properties, it's no wonder! Ceramic is universally recognized as one of the safest materials to style with, so if your hair is course, chemically treated, damaged or otherwise on the fragile side, so a flat iron that uses ceramic is the best choice you can make.

Let's have a look at some of the benefits of ceramic. This material can be very gentle on hair despite the texture thanks to its heating abilities. If you have used a lower quality flat iron and you switch to a ceramic one, the difference is huge. A cheaper flat iron will only use a coating of ceramic or tourmaline, and this coating can't compare to using pure genuine ceramic plates. Once the coating peels away, you'll get the cheap metallic plates which will only cause frizz, dryness and damage. If you don't use the flat iron often, then buy a discount flat iron, but if you plan on straightening your hair frequently, you should buy a pure ceramic flat iron simply because it's much safer and healthier to style with.

A pure ceramic flat iron can produce continuously high temperatures that allow for an even heat distribution which prevents burning and the stripping away of essential moisture. The heating properties of ceramic allow this material to naturally emit far infrared heat to seal in moisture right in the cuticle, relaxing the hair shaft and smoothing it down for straight and shiny results. The moist heat further prevents damage and boosts shine, eliminating frizz and flyaways. If your hair has been chemically treated with dyes then you will be pleased to discover that ceramic additionally helps to seal in the color to provide vibrant tones for much longer, preventing that ‘washed up' look.

If the plates of the flat iron use pure ceramic, the high temperatures wont' damage your locks. The gentle heat produced by ceramic makes styling quicker and safer, since your locks won't be exposed to the scorching temperatures for too long and you won't have to go over the same section of hair over and over.
