Our 5 Favorite Hair Straighteners of All Time
We've been using flat irons pretty much our whole lives. In our adolescence, we freely used whatever got the job done without concern for our hair health. Thankfully, we've grown older and wiser, prioritizing straighteners that will give us a sleek look but also prevent breakage and heat damage.
If you're on the market for a new flat iron that won't destroy your hair, here are five that we recommend.
L'ange Le Ceramic Blush 1-Pass Flat Iron: $69
It doesn't (and shouldn't) cost an arm and a leg to find an efficient straightener. If you'd like to buy an affordable flat iron, we have to recommend Le Ceramique from L'ange. Most of our damage came from repeatedly going over our hair at high temperatures for our desired effect, but the ceramic plates will give you exactly what you need with only one swipe.
BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Prima Styling Iron: $189.99
Whenever we get our hair styled professionally, our hairdressers always use the BabyLissPRO Nano Titanium Prima Styling Iron. It has one of the most luxurious titanium plates and a variety of temperatures. With these two features, you'll only need to do a light, quick pass before you're onto the next lock of hair.
This flat iron also has a rounded edge that makes it great for curling as well—extra bang for your buck!

Drybar Reserve Vibrating Styling Iron: $190
We've seen stylists who used vibrating flat irons, and we initially thought the tools were malfunctioning. Turns out, the vibration makes it so much easier to achieve adequate tension.
If you've ever felt like your hair wasn't getting that straight, regardless of the tool you used, it's probably because you haven't had enough tension on your hair. The Drybar Reserve Styling Iron will make straightening your hair so much easier.
Chi Lava Ceramic Hairstyling Iron: $159.99
The Chi Lava Ceramic Hairstyling Iron was designed to maintain the health of your hair. The lava minerals allow you to straighten your hair at lower temperatures but still generate the bone-straight style of your dreams.
Dyson Corrale Styler Straightener: $499.99
When we first heard about the Dyson Corrale straighter, we thought, "No straightener could be worth the price point." But after we had the chance to try it for ourselves, our expectations were blown out of the water.
There are so many aspects about this flat iron that are so phenomenal—it's wireless, the innovative plates are flexible to "gather" your hair and prevent any break, and it really just feels like an overall luxurious experience. Think of it as an investment, and it's well worth the money.
The Dyson Corrale straightener completely transformed our hair routine. Read HERE for our honest review of the product.
