7 Best Titanium Flat Irons for the Party-Ready Look

1. KIPOZI Professional Titanium Flat Iron

When I bought this Kipozi flat iron, my husband grumbled: “OMG, honey, you bought a straightener again? What happened to your old one?”

“I accidentally dropped my CHI G2 into the water, and it stopped working. I had to find a new one.” – I replied to him.

Plus, I was additionally hypnotized by thousands of compliments about the Kipozi flat iron, and I simply wanted it so bad! I had looked for titanium flat iron for my thick curly hair at an affordable value as a replacement for my CHI G2. And here is it!

This versatile titanium flat iron makes my hair tremendous silky and shiny, even when I use the highest temperature. I suppose that’s because I’ve healthy hair, so such high heat does not destroy the hair ends.

In case your hair is thinner or damaged, you should adjust to a lower degree. This titanium straightener has a wide range of temperature settings from 170°F (~80°C) to 450°F (~230°C), and the LCD will inform you the precise temperature you want. Convenient, isn’t it?

I learn many complaints that it’s kind of hard to hold and control. I don’t see it that way. It seems to be light to me, and if it’s difficult to handle, I can’t finish my hair in only 15 minutes (less). Therefore, I’m so pleased with this best titanium flat iron.

Pros

  • The best comfy price for the quality of high-end straightener
  • LCD of the temperature
  • Get hot instantly and stable during the using time.
  • Common voltages so you can take it on travel (though you’ll need a plug adapter to accommodate {the electrical} outlet of where you arrive)
  • Safety feature that it will automatically turn off after 60 minutes non-use

Cons

  • None

Best for:

It’s suitable for everyone. If you have thick and frizzy hair, you can see a big difference. You may admit it is the best titanium flat iron for thick hair.

2. CHI PRO G2 Ceramic & Titanium Straightening Hairstyling Iron

  • Ceramic Heater with advanced technology for 40 second heat up

The CHI flat iron is so famous for hairs. That’s why I cannot ignore its best-seller straightener. It is my first titanium flat iron I owned.

I’ve spent a lot of money to try nearly all CHI products, from the shampoos to the combs. I’ve been happy by most of them, and up to now, I’ve still bought its hair care sets to give to my friends, my household as gifts (I’ve lately purchased a Keratin shampoo for my sister-in-law).

I admitted that if this CHI G2 of mine didn’t stop working after I accidentally dropped it into the hot tub, I’d never change to the current Kipozi. (At that time, I was kind of broke, so I had to look for a cheaper replacement. Sorry, Kipozi.)

The snag-free titanium and ceramics infused plates will never let you down. The way it effortlessly glides on your hair, the shiny and sleek tresses it gives you will lift your mood all day.

If you don’t know a good titanium flat iron to choose from, simply pick the CHI G2. There are two sizes available: 1.25 inches and 1 inch in width for your more options.

Pros

  • The titanium plates coated with ceramics deliver FIR and negative ions to heat up and keep hair strands moistened.
  • Colour-coded digital display showing the temperature settings
  • Durable for a long time
  • Safety mode: 1-hour auto shut-off

Cons

  • • It costs a pricey but worths your investment since it can be used for a really long time.

3. NITION Professional Salon Hair Straightener

I see my sister-in-law’s hair ends were splitting, and her hair was so dry. I bought her a Keratin shampoo to help her out (you possibly can choose one of our best shampoo for Keratin treated hair if you are in the same situation).

However, she’s been a huge fan of Shakira, so I could not stop her from curling her hair. Therefore, I gave her this Nition straightener on her birthday. I’ve researched its technology, and I didn’t make the wrong decision.

With the thin and long plate of this titanium hair straightener, my sister may straighten or curl her hair, literally whatever she wants, and her tresses are still shiny and not frizzy at all.

Moreover the fantastic look, the most noticeable feature about it is the innovative technology which the manufacturer uses for the heating plates.

They are coated with 5 elements:

  • Nano Silver & Ceramic: are infused together to create the far-infrared ray (FIR) – which penetrates deep to the hair core and evenly heat your hair from inside out. The FIR is also mentioned to promote cell repair (refer right here 4 extra info).
  • Argan Oil: rich in vitamins and fatty acids, helping moisturize the hair and prevent breakages and split ends. It also boosts the shine of the hair.
  • Titanium: has the same features as Ceramics and Tourmaline, but it heats up the fastest, so that you only need fewer passes over your hair to earn outstanding results.
  • Tourmaline: A large number of negative ions are produced when this element is heated up and counteract with the positive ions in your damaged hair. The positive ions tend to open up the cuticle and make your hair lose moisture.

When the negative ions cancel out the positive ones, the cuticle closes, and humidity is re-sealed in the hair.

One more reason that I chose this flat iron as a gift is it’s packed with a carried pouch bag, a pair of heat-resistant gloves, a comb, and two hair clips.

You feel like bringing a professional hair salon at home, right? Now, my sister has got her best titanium flat irons.

Pros

  • Auto shut down after 60 minutes of non-use.
  • Combination of 05 elements that will straighten your hair fast as well as protect your hair
  • Awesome looking with a tool pack.
  • The digital display tells you the exact temperature you need.
  • Convenient rotary switch to adjust the temperature

Cons

  • As my sister said, it becomes hotter and hotter to handle, and you must wear gloves to avoid burning.

Best for:

Best for all hair types, but when you have very thick hair, it may take you a long time to get your hair done.

4. BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Mini Straightening Iron

BaBylissPro makes use of the same nano-titanium technology as its Nano-titanium Ultra-thin Straightener in this mini-sized product.

It may take you more time to straighten your hair with this little iron, however the best factor is you can bring it along to (almost) anywhere.

Just 6 inches in size – as same as the size of your palm – it’s good for globetrotters. The draw back is if you grab too much hair, it doesn’t go smoothly and gets your hair stuck in the plates. Plus, since it’s too small in size, there is only one temperature setting.

It cannot be compared to the full-sized one, but it’s worth your spending if you have to travel a lot. It’s compact, it’s lightweight, and it doesn’t occupy much space in your bag.

Pros

  • Compact, travel-ready design
  • Titanium with ceramics coated plates
  • Dual voltages

Cons

  • • Small size could get your hair snagged between plates

5. VANESSA Professional Titanium Flat Iron Hair Straightener and Curler

This Vanessa Straightener and Curler does its job pretty well. It seems in a sexy, luxury design with mirror-like titanium plates. I swear that its look hypnotized me.

The gold pink mirror plates look so attractive, and they emit a considerable amount of negative ions that moisten your hair strands.

Plus, the invisible display telling the temperature setting makes it extra elegant. The design additionally helps your hands be relaxed when styling.

In comparison with my Kipozi, the speed of heating up is a bit slower, and the 1-inch plates make dealing with ultra-dense and thick hair more difficult.

Typically, I feel the plates don’t glide on my tresses very well. However, I’ll forgive those minuses since the package is so beautiful.

Pros

  • • Sexy design
  • • Titanium mirror face plates make your hair shiny and sleek.
  • • Straightening and curling your hair quickly.

Cons

  • The heat-up speed is not as fast as other products.

Best for:

If your hair is fine and thin, this may be the one for you. Please note that do not set the temperature too high. It’s best at around 260°F.

6. Remmington Wet 2 Straight Hair Straightener

Remmington Wet 2 Straight Hair Straightener

  •  The specially designed plates prevent heat damage while maintaining a consistent temperature

Let’s think about one day, you wake up late, and you rush to skincare, take a shower before you leave home. Sometimes, you have to skip your breakfast to deal with your tresses: dry them and then straighten/curl them.

Well, there’s one product that can simplify those frenetic mornings: The Wet 2 Straight Hair flat iron.

What’s so special about this straightener? It’s that you can use it in your wet hair! You won’t should dry out your hair before you style it anymore.

The unique feature with steam vents allows you to pass the iron on your wet hair without damaging the strands.

Likewise, the plates are made of titanium and ceramics fusion, producing high warmth up to 420°F. It fastens your flattening process as well as reduces the frizz.

The outstanding steam vents allow you to make use of this flat iron when your hair is wet.The indicator light shows you the best heat to use with wet (green light) or dry (amber light) hair.

Titanium and ceramic coated plates provide instant high heat up to 420°F.

Pros

  • The charger may not be compatible in some countries.

Cons

  • None

Best for:

I recommend using the wet-hair function on healthy hair. The fragile hair will be damaged since using a straightener right over the wet hair will make the hair heat-shocked.

7. BaBylissPRO Nano-titanium Ultra-thin Straightening Iron

The babyliss pro flat iron comes with three widths: 1 inch, 1-1\/2 inches, and 2 inches, providing you with more selections for your personal needs.

The wider the plates are, the more hair strands to be gathered, and fewer passes over your hair. However, the thinner plates will allow you to design your hairstyle flexibly. So it’s your choice.

In babyliss straightener, the nano-titanium emits more negative ions, which has the mechanism, as I discussed above, to seal the cuticle and keep-in moisture and natural oils. Thus, it eliminates the frizz and makes your hair silky.

I had a chance to try it when my friends and I spent a holiday in Greece. The humidity on the beach made my hair just like Monica’s in Barbados, so I borrowed it from a friend.

The thing I like about this ultra-thin iron is its extreme lightness, so it banishes the fatigue feelings when I do the styling.

Nonetheless, its width was thin, taking me over an hour to deal with my frizz. The best thing is, my tresses stayed down for two days straight!

Pros

  • Ionic technology
  • Super lightweight
  • It appears in many widths, so it fits many hair types.
  • Beautiful color

Cons

  • No LCD (liquid-crystal display), so it’s not convenient to see the temperature.

Best for:

All hair types. Thick hair should choose the wider-plate option to save your time.

How to use a Titanium Flat Iron Step By Step Beginners Guide

These are 07 best products that I’ve used/had chances to try. Now, I’d like to show the step by step guide for beginners and a few notes when using a straightener.

Prepare Your Hair

1. Gently wash your hair with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner

First step is to wash and add some moisture to your hair. You can use drugstore products on this step, no need to buy for the high-end brands. However, on some special occasions, you can give yourselves a spa-quality treat.

2. Pat your hair dry with a towel

Don’t scrub the towel too harsh on your hair. Use a soft cotton towel and gently squeeze your tresses.

Recently, I found out {that a} silk towel will be better for the hair: it absorbs water faster, and it doesn’t cause friction, reducing the frizz happening after you bathe. Thus, overall, hair is less damaged.

3. Let hair naturally dry or use a blow dryer

It’s way better if you can let your hair dry naturally, but if you’re a busy woman, you can use a blow dryer to help. Please notice the temperature of the blow dryer, don’t set it too high.

Always point the blow dryer downward and use a hairbrush as an assistant to glide through tangles. When your hair is wet, it may be hard to brush through, so choosing an appropriate hairbrush that won’t cause breakage or fallen hair could be difficult.

4. Use a thermal protection product

Spraying or applying onto the hair a heat protectant as a prep before using the flat iron to avoid the hair strands from thermal damages. These products help build up a barrier from heat exposure and keep your hair healthy.

My best options are the CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray or HSI Argan Oil Heat Protector.

The CHI 44 Iron Guard contains hydrolyzed silk, which can literally make your tresses as sleek as a silk scarf.

In comparison, HSI Argan Oil Heat Protector includes hydrolyzed Keratin, building up the hair strands’ damage-resistant ability.

4. Use Styling Cream (optional)

In case you want to style fancy curly hair like Shakira, additionally using the styling cream will assist your tresses be in the required form all day.

My recommendation is to combine 1-2 pumps (3-4 pumps if your hair is long down to your waist) of CHI Straight Guard Smoothing Styling with a few drops of CHI Silk Infusion on your hands, then mildly scrunch your hair.

Start the Straightening Session

  1. Turn on your straightener and set the required temperature

You need to know what type of your hair is to select the appropriate temperature. Listed here are some ranges of the heat you may refer to

0°F – 370°F: for Fine/Thin/Fragile hair
375°F – 395°F: for Medium hair
400°F – 450°F: for Coarse/Very Curly hair

Additionally, the size of the plates could decide the time you can save. The bigger plates will be more suitable for long/thick hair.

2. Pat your hair dry with a towel

It’s essential to separate your tresses into many sections and iron each layer. Pinup the parts you are not flattening yet, so they do not get in the way of the being ironed section. Let start with the bottom layer and finish with the outer layer.

3. Let hair naturally dry or use a blow dryer

Place the flat iron close to the roots, clamp the plates, and glide to the ends of the hair section. Repeat for 2-3 times but not so many passes. Such doing can cause your hair to be more thermally harmed.

4. Repeat the same manipulation on other sections till your whole tresses done

Unpin the next section and do the (3) over again. You can put the flattened section away to avoid being reheated or use a rattail styling comb to assist the next part.

Post-straightening Care

1. Use hairspray or environmental-element protective products to finish

You should use a light hairspray to maintain your hairstyle all day and not to make it sticky.

At this point, I love the Paul Mitchell Super Clean Hairspray.

If you want the natural shine and prevent harmful effects of the environmental factors, choose some nourishing oils for your hair nourishment.

I recommend CHI Rosehip UV Oil which protects against UV rays. Another oil is Moroccan oil Glimmer Shine; is a styling hair spray that creates radiant shine.

2. Carry an umbrella when you go outside

After the straightening, your hair is weak to the sun. Though you may use the UV protectant, you still need to cover your hair from direct sunshine a day after your session.

An umbrella will also help your hair avoid being exposed to the rain – which can cause your hair to be frizzy.

3. Only straighten your hair a couple of time a week

Despite how many protective products you use, if your tresses expose to the heat tool frequently, your hair is still damaged.

Try not to use the straightener on a daily basis. In case your hair is delicate/fragile, don’t use the flat iron more than once a week.

Conclusion

Well, that’s all you need to find your best titanium flat iron. A straightener is the go-to heat tool that many women choose to get frizz-free, sleek, and silky hair.

Moreover some disadvantages like the extreme heat a titanium straightener produces, its effectiveness cannot be denied.

Both [KIPOZI] Professional Titanium Flat Iron and the [CHI] PRO G2 have been my favorite for years and are the best flat irons for thick hair. I’d recommend them to anyone.
