What is a ceramic hair straightener?

Many people ask “What is the difference between a ceramic hair straightener and a regular straightener? Well, the difference is like night and day. For starters, ceramic (such as GHD) are a special technology. They are plates made with special substances that do not burn your hair. In fact, they are actually good for your hair because they produce negative ions when heated. This is why some ceramic irons make your hair actually feel softer than what it normally would.

Meanwhile, regular old hair irons use plates that are made out of things like aluminum or other metals. This is not good for your hair. When they are heated, they actually damage your hair in a number of ways… from uneven heat distribution, to crimping and cramping that is caused when you pull your hair through the closed iron. This is why i’ts  so important ot use a ceramic iron whenever you straighten or curl your hair.
