Choosing a Flat Iron
Flat irons come in a variety of widths, and if your hair is shorter, you will find it easier to use a narrower width. If you have long hair and a lot of it, a wider flat iron will help speed up the process of straightening your hair.

Ceramic flat irons are a good choice for those with fine or delicate hair, as titanium irons may be a bit too intense. They take longer to heat up but are less likely to damage hair and can be best for non-professionals and beginners.
Inexpensive metal (like aluminum) flat irons should be avoided. The temperature is inconsistent across the metal plates, leading to increased chances of damage from “hot spots” They also do not smooth your hair like the better-quality irons. Over time, using these types of flat irons will lead your hair to become brittle and prone to breakage.
