There are a lot of things to consider when purchasing a hair styling iron and it’s important to be aware of the benefits of each.  There are so many options available that it can be overwhelming to find the best one for you.  Not all styling irons are the same, and inexpensive does not necessarily mean best value.  Before purchasing your next styling iron, consider the type of plates, the heat settings, the size and the warranty.

The most common types of plates on a hair straightener are metal, glass, ceramic, titanium and a tourmaline ceramic blend.  The most expensive variety of hair straighteners are the tourmaline and ceramic blend.  These straighteners are also the highest quality and leave the hair smoother and straighter than the other varieties.

The Karmin G3 features Tourmaline Ceramic plates that heat quickly and evenly.  Tourmaline is a semi precious gem that, when heated, creates more pressure that helps flatten the hair when straightening.  This quality ceramic eliminates “hot spots,” or sections of the plate that are hotter than others.  It’s important to maintain even heat to straighten the hair efficiently and to avoid frizz.

Another benefit of the Karmin G3 Pro Styling Iron is its adjustable heat.  Studies show that 370 degrees Fahrenheit is considered the optimum temperature for most hair types. Because the G3 offers adjustable temperature, it’s easy to choose one that works best for you.  It ranges from 180 degrees Fahrenheit to 420 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes this product a great fit for everyone.

When the G3 is heating, there is a red light by the temperature wheel that illuminates.  Once the straightener has heated to the desired temperature, the light will shut off.  As you style with an iron, it comes in contact with your cool hair and loses some of its heat.  This is natural and to be expected and does not signify a low quality straightener.  A quality hair straightener is characterized by how quickly it regains its heat to maintain your chosen temperature.  This is to ensure that it will heat and straighten your hair evenly.  The Karmin G3 Pro Styling Iron immediately begins to reheat, and the red light illuminates once again, to indicate that the heating mechanism has been activated.

When deciding which hair styling product is the best fit for you, remember to consider the size of the plates.  The most common flat iron size is 1” plates, like the G3.  The 1” plates are a great size that offer the ability to straighten even long hair quickly, but also allows the user to style or curl the hair.

The Karmin G3 Pro Styling Iron offers a 3 year warranty to ensure that each user receives a quality, functional styling iron.  Any defects found to be the fault of poor workmanship or material guarantees a replacement.

Users of the G3 have reported that it “cuts [the] straightening time in half,” that it was heated and “ready in seconds,” and that they have “soft, silky, tamable hair.”  One user reported that after purchasing the G3, she was upset at having wasted thousands of dollars on other “high quality” straighteners over the years, when the Karmin G3 accomplished the same results in less time and for less money.

The most common and most valuable hair styling tool available today is the hair straightener.  Because of the wide range of prices and quality available, every person who wants straight, smooth, sleekly styled hair can find the best straightener to meet those needs.

Hair Straightener Buyer’s Guide

January 20, 2010 BY

There are a lot of things to consider when purchasing a hair styling iron and it’s important to be aware of the benefits of each.  There are so many options available that it can be overwhelming to find the best one for you.  Not all styling irons are the same, and inexpensive does not necessarily mean best value.  Before purchasing your next styling iron, consider the type of plates, the heat settings, the size and the warranty.

The most common types of plates on a hair straightener are metal, glass, ceramic, titanium and a tourmaline ceramic blend.  Metal and glass are typically used in the least expensive straighteners.  Unfortunately, however, they are often painted, which can result in chipping and damaged hair.  Metal and glass plates tend to take longer to heat and don’t always heat evenly, leading to dry, damaged, frizzy hair.

Hair straighteners with ceramics plates are slightly more expensive than straighteners with metal or glass plates, but they are still affordable.  The ceramic plates hair more evenly and produce smoother, shinier and less frizzy hair.  Titanium plated hair straighteners are very smooth and are known to heat evenly and maintain their heat.  This is important for even straightening and styling and efficient results.

The most expensive variety of hair straighteners are the tourmaline and ceramic blend.  These straighteners are also the highest quality and leave the hair smoother and straighter than the other varieties.

Tourmaline ceramic plates that heat quickly and evenly.  Tourmaline is a semi precious gem that, when heated, creates more pressure that helps flatten the hair when straightening.  This quality ceramic eliminates “hot spots,” or sections of the plate that are hotter than others.  It’s important to maintain even heat to straighten the hair efficiently and to avoid frizz.

Another benefit to look for is adjustable heat.  Studies show that 370 degrees Fahrenheit is considered the optimum temperature for most hair types.  However, some hair styles and textures require higher temperatures, for example thick or curly hair.  On the other hand, thinner and finer hair may require a lower temperature.  When hair straighteners offer adjustable temperature, it’s easy to choose one that works best for you.  One example is the Karmin G3 Salon Pro Styling Iron; it offers a range of 180 degrees Fahrenheit to 420 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes this product a great fit for everyone.

As you style with an iron, it comes in contact with your cool hair and loses some of its heat.  This is natural and to be expected and does not signify a low quality straightener.  A quality hair straightener is characterized by how quickly it regains its heat to maintain your chosen temperature.  This is to ensure that it will heat and straighten your hair evenly.

When deciding which hair styling product is the best fit for you, remember to consider the size of the plates.  The most common flat iron size is 1” plates.  There are also 1/2” 1 ½” and 2” styles available.  The smaller sizes are most often used to curl or style the hair or to straighten shorter hair.  The larger sizes can be beneficial when straightening longer hair.

Hair straightener warranties typically range from one to three years.  Some warranties are offered by the retailer, while some come from the manufacturer.  Before purchasing an iron, make sure you know the details of the warranty including how long it is and what it covers.
