Tourmaline flat irons are very popular and several brands include this crystal in select models. When heated, tourmaline emits negatively charged ions which seal the cuticle helping to retain moisture.
Hair that is straighten by a tourmaline flat iron becomes softer, smoother and shinier. Dry hair is remoisturized and frizz or splitends are eliminated.
Not all flat irons have tourmaline. If you are looking for a good tourmaline flat iron, then here a three brands to compare and consider:
T3 Bespoke Labs Narrow Wet or Dry Special Edition Flat Iron Model 83910 SE
T3 has ceramic plates and heaters which are infused with tourmaline for added negative ion emission and far infared heat. The T3 has a special channel and vent system that allows excess water to evaporate as steam. Wet or damp hair comes out dry while straightening hair which makes blow drying unnecessary or optional.
Solia Professional Ceramic Ion Flat Iron
The Solia also emits negative ions from its tourmaline ceramic plates which generate gentle far infrared heat to avoid over drying or damage to the hair. The Solia also straightens wet or dry hair, eliminating the need to blow dry.
Farouk CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Hairstyling Iron
This CHI flat iron is popular because professional hairdressers use it. It ceramic plates also include tourmaline. Although this particular model only has one temperature setting, it really doesn’t matter because people who use it say it works and probably the tourmaline in it is part of the reason.
