First of all, let's pay attention to the dimensions and coating of the plates. Most of the models have not very wide plates, and this is good, because there will be less negative impact on the hair. But their size plays a role: the shorter the plates, the less hair they will capture. This is especially important in the case of thick and long curls.
A hair iron should be as safe as possible. That is why manufacturers are trying to produce their models with ceramic plates. Metal ones are the most harmful for hair, although they are much cheaper. On sale you can find rectifiers with anode-oxidant plates, but so far they are not very popular due to their high cost. Thus, irons with ceramic plates are the best option.

Now let's see if the hair straightener needs temperature control. Such a function will be very useful, because everyone's curls are different, and their styling may require their own temperature. So, thin and weakened hair should be styled at a minimum temperature. For thicker and thicker ones, a higher temperature regime should be selected. In any case, you can determine what your hair needs directly while using the device.
On sale you can find both professional and household models. Which one to choose? A professional hair iron will undoubtedly be more effective. It usually has more power, but it weighs more, so everyday use can be inconvenient.
For hair styling at home, a household straightener will do just fine. It is lighter, has slightly less power, but also copes well with the main function - straightening. Difference betweenprofessional and household irons are also in price: the former are more expensive.
Summing up, let's note that an important criterion when buying is exactly the material of the plates and their dimensions. Next, we pay attention to the presence of several temperature conditions, additional nozzles, etc. Trust your purchase only to a well-known manufacturer. And even if you come across a very inexpensive model, the company of which you have never heard of, there is no guarantee that it will serve you faithfully for a long time.
Consider if you need additional nozzles, for example, in order to make a corrugation. A hair iron with nozzles will cost more, but its possibilities are somewhat wider. It all depends on your preferences: it makes no sense to overpay for additional options if you are not going to use them.
