STYLE/ Hair Straighteners

How often do you hear the weather forecast for a rainy day and then wake up and it’s bright and sunny outside? Knowing what the weather is going to be is pretty unpredictable, but the state of your hair doesn’t have to be. Stressing out about how your hair is going to react to the conditions outside doesn’t have to worry you. All you need are a few simple hair tools and you’ll have stress-free days.

Weather the Elements with Straight Hair

Flat irons are great to keep on hand. Whether it’s rainy or sunny, windy or snowy, you can always have straight hair. Run your flat iron thru your hair sections at a time to achieve your sleek look. In case your hair frizzes up along the way, you can always retouch your hair in an instant by just going over the top layer again.

One of the most well-known and respected lines of hair styling tools out there is the CHI brand. Buying a CHI flat iron is a popular option because of the technology that they use. Their straighteners use Far Infra Red, which heats the hair from the inside out and penetrates deeper for better results. CHI has a wide variety of flat irons to choose from. They have ceramic irons to provide the most consistent heat, ionic irons to seal in moisture, and far infrared irons to reduce static and frizz. These are all offered in a variety of sizes as well.

The company GHD is another brand with a great reputation for hair products. GHD hair straighteners are offered in a variety of styles to match specific types of hair. Try the IV Mini Styler for shorter hair or the IV Salon Styler for thicker hair. You can also choose one of their options such as the IV Styler, which is great for all styles of hair. One of the best features of this brand is that their appliances come with a “sleep mode”. You’ll never have to feel that pang of worry if you forget to turn off your straightener because they automatically turn off after 30 minutes if left unattended. An added bonus with buying a GHD hair straightener is that you’ll receive some of their hair products for free along with your purchase.

A Corioliss hair straightener is our next pick. Their thin barrels allow you to get close to the root and their digital temperature control lets you straighten at your preferred temperature. Corioliss even has a cordless flat iron so that you can take it with you and not have to search for an outlet to plug it in – making it great for touch-ups! They run on battery power, have a sleep timer, and a safety lock so that it won’t accidentally turn on in your bag. The designers at Corioliss know that women like their things to look nice, so they have a lot of artist designed patterns as well as a flat iron covered in Swarovski crystals. As an added bonus, they have some styling videos on their website to make for one stop shopping!

A BaByliss Pro flat iron is another great choice to smooth out your unruly locks before heading out in the elements. Their straighteners have advanced ceramics for a high-shine finish and easy to read temperature lights so that you can achieve your desired settings in a flash. Their Pro Micro Straightener is a great option for short hair. Their half-inch ceramic plates get close to the root.

With the purchase of a flat iron from any of these four recommended brands, your hair can stand up to any weather forecast!
