“In all of my years of straightening (at least 15 years), my repertoire has never had a more heat-safe, versatile, and quality straightener. I’ve had my current Platinum+ since it launched in 2018, and not once has it crapped out on me; no hint of the coil ripping or the plates loosening. It’s practically as good as new\u2014and that’s saying something since I straighten my entire head of hair at least once per week.” She loves how simple it is to use, too\u2014there’s no fancy LED screen and only one button to operate it. \u2014Shanna Shipin, senior shopping director<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

“I’ve been a die-hard GHD Platinum+ Styler user ever since I could flatiron my hair\u2014and I’ve been styling my hair weekly with straighteners for almost 20 years.I have especially thick, wavy-curly hair that won’t bend to the heat of most flatirons, but its 365-degree Fahrenheit temperature whips my strands into shape without frying it in the process.\u201d \u2014Jennifer Hussein, Allure<\/em> contributor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

This innovative flatiron is one of the few wet-to-straight stylers that lives up to its claims. The device takes damp strands and transforms them into a silky-smooth waterfall of flyaway and frizz-free hair in minutes. The beauty of this tool is that it relies on the velocity of hot air instead of heated plates, so its highest temperature is a gentle 285 degrees Fahrenheit. Sure, it’s a splurge, but its unique, hair-health-first design makes it worth the cash.<\/p>\n\n

“I found the dryer function useful and intuitive. It’s really nice not having to hold a brush in one hand and a hair dryer in the other for the 30-plus minutes it takes for my hair to dry. The wide clamp is great for covering large sections of hair all at once, but I definitely needed multiple passes to add shine and smoothness to my curly hair.\u201d \u2014Sarah Hoffmann, commerce producer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The Jen Atkin-founded brand makes a wide array of affordable, effective hot tools, including this straightener that’s equipped with a temperature spectrum of 200 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and can easily smooth coily and coarse hair. If you’re unsure about your settings, the Mane website offers a handy guide on which heat setting to use depending on your hair type and styling goals, but generally, if you have fine hair or fragile hair, lower temperatures are better.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe narrow shape of this flatiron is perfect for touching up sections of hair as I reach the end of the day’s styling journey. To make my naturally wavy hair more approachable, I use Mane’s Ready or Knot Detangling Brush, which works like a dream to work through any lingering kinks.\u201d \u2014Annie Blackman, Allure<\/em> contributor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
