🔹Ceramic flat iron
The ceramic flat iron is different from the ordinary flat iron. Its heated panel has a ceramic-treated matte material, which is evenly heated and has an even curl. The temperature can also be controlled at a certain point. It can be designed to have a more even elasticity and curl shape, to avoid the lack of uneven hot spots caused by continuous heating of the shiny heated plate and difficult to grasp the rolling force.
🔹Negative ion flat iron
The negative ion flat iron can be said to be an evolution of the ceramic flat iron. It is coated with negative ions that can protect the hair during the heating process, so as to improve the moisture and brightness of the hair.
🔹Steam flat iron
The steam flat iron emits iron-like steam during use. Since the disulfide bond of the hair is half-open in wet conditions, and the disulfide bond will affect the elasticity, shape and flow direction of the hair, the function of the steam flat iron is to make the styling quicker and more durable after a proper amount of steam is emitted.
