What is the difference between a ceramic hair straightener and a normal iron?

i want to get a hair straightner (under $35).


i don't know whats the difference between a ceramic one and a normal one.


my hair is already straight, but a bit on the wavy side and i want to fix bad hair days........ ^^





is a hair dryer more efficient and worth the money?

the ceramic makes your hair nicer. :%26gt;What is the difference between a ceramic hair straightener and a normal iron?
Ok so ceramic is suppose to be better for your hair and it also works better because it gets hotter.


My advice to you is buy a straightener with a heat setting on the side. Some go from 1-25 for example, and obviously using 25 will get the hottest and be most efficient. I don't think you NEED ceramic, b/c it is much more expensive, but if your not going to get one, I would highlight reccomend one with heat settings. I had one years ago by Hot Tools, bought it in a beauty supply store for like $25! It did the job. Eventually I got a ceramic for xmas but it was $160 which to me is a bit ridiculous. Try the hot tools one-its black a squarish where the metal plates are. Its the best kind for $25, you won't find anything better for that price.





Hair dryer-no. It makes your hair frizzy. Dry it first with a dryer then straighten. Use a product for best results. Something that works with heat. Ask when you go into a store.
ceramic is supposed to have a more even heat distribution, or something like that.





anyway, with a hairdryer i can get my hair to look more naturally straight. with a ceramic iron i can get a stick straight look.
A ceramic hair straightener helps to prevent any damage towards your hair. Unlike a normal one which will burn it and fry your ends.


Using a hair dryer will just make it more frizzy. I have the same kind of hair as you and I think that a small inexpensive straightener will help you out. There are a bunch of great buys at Target with some pretty low prices. Make sure you don't go too cheap, cause then it probably won't work right.
ceramic hair straightners don't damage your hair as much as a normal once would. I would spend the money on a good one because it can last your for a long time and make your hair look much more fantastic
Ceramic heats hair from the inside out so its faster and causes less damage to your hair





Normal ones heat hair normally.. from the outside in... so it takes longer and thus causes more damage
