How do I choose a hair straightener?
The Gentle Flat Iron
The best hair straighteners are light weight, heat up quickly, maintain the temperature setting, and cut straightening time to half.
Be sure to pick a hair straightener with an easy grip and an ergonomic design. If you're using it every day, you'll need it! Also note that felt at the tip helps to hold the hair better and makes the flat iron easier to manipulate—you want smooth, straight, tamed hair, but there's no need to beat it into submission
