Solid Ceramic, Curved Edges

Ceramic Advantages
Traditional flat irons have metallic plates that create harmful effects to the hair. This is no traditional flat iron as the plates are made from 100% ceramic.

Ceramic is responsible for a uniform distribution of heat on the hair as the flat iron is made to slide easily. With the even heat amount, straightening is made more efficient.

Ionic Concept of Ceramic Plates
When ceramic plates are properly heated, they create or produce negatively charged particles that smoothen and correct the frizzy and damaged condition of the hair caused by the positively charged ions present in the hair that promotes static electricity.

The negative ions in effect lock and preserve moisture inside the hair cuticle thus hair retains its healthy condition and natural color.

Germ Kill
Any fungi or bacteria that are present in the hair is also eliminated and exterminated by the negative heat produced ions in the ceramic plates and so hair is made healthier and shinier.

The ceramic plates when heated produce negative ions that cancel out the effect of positive ions on hair. We all have positive ions present in our hair brought about by frequent improper styling, which accounts for the frizz and the dry condition of every strand.

The negative ions react with these positively charged particles which result to straightened, gorgeous, and shiny hair.
