Hair Straighteners

Get sleek, frizz-free hair with a hair straightener

It is difficult to choose just one superior brand in the world of hair straightening. After all, there are many renowned brands out there that all have something unique to offer.

From Halo and BaByliss PRO to Curious Grace, there are endless choices in Australia. But the true trick to finding the best hair straightener for your needs is matching the right hairstyling tools with your hair type.

Mini hair straighteners for sleek and shiny hair

Get luxuriously sleek and shiny hair with the BaByliss PRO XPT Straightener. This mini hair straightener features advanced ceramic heater technology and longer titanium-ceramic plates for consistent, even heat distribution. The result? Smooth and glossy locks free from frizz, so you can have smooth, lustrous locks.

Travel-friendly hair straightening irons

If you’re on the move and need professional results wherever you go, the Dyson Corrale Cordless Straightener is a top pick among cordless hair straighteners.

This cordless hairstyling tool is designed with pioneering technology to allow you to create sleek, salon-like styles no matter where you are. It also has precise heat settings and innovative flexing plates to get powerful styling with less damage.

Wide-plate hair straighteners for faster, smoother styling

Those with thick, curly or frizzy hair may find it hard to get straight hair with most hair straighteners, as their locks can be a little resistant. There’s a simple trick to make sure you have the right purchase every time!

Instead of the popular ceramic hair straightener, simply choose a wide hair straightener like the ghd Max Wide Plate Hair Straightener, which offers maximum contact with your hair.

You can also benefit from titanium hair straighteners like the Halo by Elchim 8th Sense Styler Titanium & Ceramic Hair Straightener. It has adjustable heat settings that make straightening textured or thick hair easier.

Ceramic hair straighteners that effortlessly glide through hair

If your hair is quite brittle, ceramic hair straighteners or tourmaline hair straighteners will be the best choice. Ceramic hair straighteners are within a safer temperature range, which means further damage to the hair can be avoided.

The ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener features advanced ceramic technology and optimal temperature for stronger hair and more shine and colour protection, making it perfect for all hair types, from thick to fine hair. It also comes in a gift set and includes a paddle brush and a heat-resistant bag.

Stylist tips for using a hair straightener

Once you purchase your flat iron hair straightener, it is only a matter of learning how to use it. Here are some expert tips for achieving smooth, silky hair with this styling tool:

1. Since this hair tool can be quite hot, make sure you use it safely. Always have a suitable heat-resistant mat ready to place your styling iron on when you are done. The same thing applies to other hot styling tools, such as curlers.
2. Before straightening your hair, wash your hair with a nourishing shampoo and conditioner.
3. Then, use a hair dryer to blow-dry your hair. If you have frizzy hair, you can use some anti-frizz products to counteract that. There are special shampoos and conditioners containing keratin, but you can also use argan oil or other similar products.
4. Once your hair is dry, it's time to add protection against heat with haircare products. Grab your favourite heat protectant spray or oil and ensure it is saturated properly, especially for those with naturally curly hair. Avoid applying at the roots of your hair, as this can make your hair appear greasy.
5. Next, divide your hair into sections to make the styling process a little easier. It does not matter if you use a mini styler, a wide iron, a mini hair straightener, a hair straightener brush or a regular hair straightener. Sectioning the hair always provides much better results.
6. Once you have your sections, turn your hair tool on and make sure you select the right temperature setting. Heat settings are dependent on hair thickness and length. These details are usually mentioned in the user manual. Wait for the straightener to heat up.
7. Place your straightener approximately two centimetres from the root of your hair. Then, straighten each section until you have straightened all your hair.

Those with naturally curly hair can benefit from using a special hair wax, which helps keep the beautiful result after blow drying and straightening. If you want to save time on straightening your hair, you could look into the latest hot brush. This allows you to simply brush your hair straight using hot air.

How to create curls with a hair straightener

Most people curl their hair with a hair curler, a curling iron or a curling wand, but it is possible to curl your hair with a straightener as well. But how do you go about straightening your hair with this tool?

Whether you have a limited edition small straightener or a micro iron, you can straighten your hair easily with all these hairstyling tools by following the steps below:

1. Grab a small section of your hair.
2. Clamp the hair and work your way down to the part of the hair where you want the curl to begin.
3. Turn the straightener 180° and pull it down through the remainder of your hair.
4. Repeat this method for each section.
