Wet To Straight Hair Straightener


Need to go from damp and dreary to straight and sleek? With a wet to straight hair straightener you can do so in record time and with less than half the effort it would take to blow dry. Wet to straight hair straighteners (also called wet to dry) are becoming increasingly popular because they avoid the time-consuming need to first blow-dry your hair before applying a straightener for finishing touches. But how do these remarkable tools work? Wet to straight appliances have a venting system that evaporates excess water and transforms hair into shiny, super-smooth locks right after you towel it dry. This means no waiting around and no blow drying! This is also great news for your hair's health, since blow drying involves the constant application of heat and then you would expose you locks to even more heat with a straightener, which just causes breakage and heat damage due to the over-exposure to high temperatures.

These time and hair saving devices are most commonly found in protective ceramic plates which heat up fast and provide the perfect look without causing heat damage. Of course there are other materials like tourmaline which is ideal for frizzy, curly, dry and damaged hair thanks to its gentle heating and there's also titanium which is known for its flash heating and high temperatures recommended for thick, wild and coarse hair types. But if you have your heart set on ceramic then make sure it's solid ceramic and not ceramic coated which doesn't perform as well or last as long. Also avoid ceramic straighteners that use the term "nano-ceramic technology" as this means that the plates are aluminum and only use microscopic particles of ceramic, hence the use of the word "nano". With wet to straight hair tools you'll need to pay extra care to the quality of the heating material since you'll be using it on damp hair which can be risky for your hair's health if you choose a low quality straightener.

Also make sure that your chosen wet to straight hair straightener includes a variable temperature setting to give you complete control over the amount of heat you apply to your hair, since different hair types require different levels of heat. Plus, every good straightener has a comfortable grip and a 360° swivel cord to avoid tired hands and a tangled iron. A necessary but optional addition is a universal voltage for those who tend to travel overseas since this feature will ensure proper functionality regardless of the destination. Aside from these you may want a sleep mode, an automatic turn off or other features that you may consider necessary, but these are your personal choice and you'll be bound to find a wet to straight appliance that comes to terms with everything you need. Once you have your own wet to straight hair straightener you can start spending more time outside flaunting brilliantly straight and incredibly silky hair instead of staying in front of the mirror blow-drying!
