6 Best Hair Straightener Products

If you care only about quality and price is no object, you MUST own this is the professional-grade hair straightener. It delivers salon-quality hair straightening with the flip of a switch, and is among the top-rated flat irons on the market. Even veteran users have been impressed, claiming it’s “by far the best straightener” they have ever owned.

Instead of using ceramic, the heating plates on this flat iron are platinum. The tri-zone heating design ensures a more consistent heating across the plates, creating more efficient straightening power without damaging finer hairs. With a 20-second heating time and heat that reaches up to 365 degrees, it’s a highly effective flat iron indeed!

This straightener comes with six built-in sensors (three per plate) to maximize heating consistency across the plates, yet reduces the damage of finer, weaker hairs. The ergonomic, curled edges of the straightener make it easy for you to curl, wave, or straighten without multiple passes.

The wishbone hinge gives you more control over the flat iron; less pressure is required, so you don’t need to squeeze as hard. This reduces the risk of pulling, tugging, or burning your hair. The high-gloss finish of the heating plates helps your hair to glide smoothly. The flat iron is designed to cut breakage in half and double color integrity!

At $250, this is the priciest hair straightener on our list. However, if you want something that delivers durability and professional performance (for use at a spa/salon as well as at home), it’s well worth the cost!

If you’re looking for a high quality hair straightener that can handle any and all hair types—fine, coarse, curly, wavy, and frizzy—look no further than this beautiful device. It may not look like much, but it’s the go-to tool for professional stylists around the country.

This straightener uses far-infrared heat and negative ion technology to lock moisture into the hair while heating and straightening. The slim design makes it ideal for curling as well as straightening, and it’s compact enough to take with you as you travel. It offers user-friendly controls, excellent versatility, and reliable functions. Definitely an option worth considering!

This straightener uses titanium plates rather than ceramic, and the metal plates transfer heat more effectively—leading to faster straightening. Though it will leave a bit of static in your hair, it’s highly efficient at getting those kinks and frizzes out. The plates come in 1″ and 1.5″-thickness options, and the fact that they’re 5″ long means you get better coverage (more hair straightened at once) than other straighteners.

Though there is no auto shutoff feature, the multiple heat settings give you greater control over the straightening process.

At $130, this is definitely a pricey straightener. However, those who want to straighten AND curl with one device will love how efficiently it performs both tasks. It’s one of the best for all types of hair, making it worth the higher cost.

This professional-quality flat iron is just what you need to keep your wild, curly, and frizzy hair under control! Thanks to the infrared heating element, you get a hotter-than-average hair straightener that is effective for just about any hair type.

The straightener heats up in just 90 seconds, and it can reach temperatures as high as 445 F. Thanks to the dual-plate design, you get more surface area to apply heat to your hair. The two inch-wide plates will straighten your hair more quickly and efficiently. Thanks to the no-snag design, you’ll never have to worry about tugging your hair.

On the downside, the straightener is designed somewhat poorly, with the on/off button in an inconvenient place. Many users complain that they accidentally switched off the device mid-use. It’s also not the best for fine or short hair, as the plates don’t close all the way.

The straightener features 10 digital heat settings, with temperatures ranging between 265 and 445 F. The LCD screen makes it easy to adjust the settings as desired. The 90-second heating time is a bit slower than others on our list, but it’s worth it for the extra high heat.

If you’re the forgetful type, you’ll love the auto shut-off feature that switches the straighter off after an hour. For those who travel, the adjustable voltage (110 to 240V) makes it a reliable device to us in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and pretty much everywhere else.

At $32, this is a well-priced hair straightener! It’s a bit pricier than some of the others on our list, but given its high heat, versatile functions, and double-wide design, it’s definitely worth considering.

If you want a flat iron that delivers reliability at a very reasonable price, you’ll love the Remington S5500. Users have commented that it is “near-professional quality”, with a design that is user-friendly and efficient for straightening. Though it’s not the best for curly or frizzy locks, it works well for coarse, wavy, and wild hair.

The straightener heats up quickly, reaching up to 410 F in just 30 seconds. The high heat enables you to style difficult-to-control hair. You’ll have to give it a few passes to manage curlier hair, but overall it’s a highly reliable straightener. You can expect many happy years of use from this bad boy!

The 1″ ceramic plates deliver the high heat to your hair, enabling you to straighten without damaging the finer hairs near your scalp. The flat iron has a “Turbo Heat” feature that will reach the maximum heat levels extra quickly for a rush job. Thanks to the digital controls and LCD screen, you have total control over the heat output for more versatile straightening.

Best of all, the straightener comes with an auto shutoff feature. If you’re prone to forgetting that you left the straightener running, it will switch off after 60 minutes. And, thanks to the 360-degree swivel cord, you can maneuver the straightener at any angle without having to fuss with the cord.

At $20, this hair straightener is worth every penny. Though its design isn’t perfect—the ceramic plates don’t quite touch, so the heating isn’t fully even—it delivers reliable performance at a great price.

If you want to keep your hair straight while traveling, this is a handy little device to have. Just 15 cm long with 0.5″ ceramic plates, this straightener is compact enough to carry with you wherever you go. Thanks to its rapid heating time, you can touch up your hair in just a few minutes.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t the most reliable hair straightener. It does a decent job, but it’s not your go-to for the initial straightening. It can’t handle very wild or curly hair. Think of it as an “added bonus” to carry around to touch up your hair style while out and about.

The heating element reaches 365 degrees F, ensuring you have enough heat to straighten all but the curliest and frizziest hair. It can handle coarse and fine hairs easily, though you’ll find it takes a few passes of the extra-small ceramic plates to do a thorough job.

There are no controls—it simply turns off and on, with no way to adjust the heat. The LED light will tell you if the power is on. The ergonomic handle and non-slip grip make it comfortable to hold as you style your hair.

At $13, this is an affordable addition to your travel beauty regimen. It comes with a 2-year warranty, and it’s compact and lightweight enough to carry around instead of your heavier, larger, professional-quality straightener.
