- Is titanium better than ceramic for my hair?
- Titanium heats faster and holds a steady temperature, which suits thick or coarse hair. Ceramic is more forgiving on fine, fragile or color-treated hair, so titanium needs a lower setting and a heat protectant.
- What does the infrared heating actually do?
- The maker claims infrared heat works from inside the hair shaft and loses less moisture than surface-only heating. Treat that as a design claim; the practical benefit is even heat across the plates.
- What temperature should I use?
- Fine or damaged hair does best around the low end of the range, medium hair in the middle, and thick or coarse hair higher. Start lower and raise it only if one pass is not enough.
- Can I use it on wet hair?
- No. Straighten only dry hair; wet hair plus hot plates causes steam damage. Towel-dry and blow-dry first.
- Are the wide plates hard to use on short hair?
- Yes, wide plates are awkward near the roots and on bangs. They shine on long and thick hair, where fewer passes mean less heat exposure.
- What is in the box?
- The straightener itself with its plates, display and controls. Check the buy box for the accessories and options included with the unit.
