Hair straightener, also known as a flat iron.
Function:
It is an electrical tool used to smooth and straighten hair by applying heat to break down the hair's natural bonds.
Technology:
Some straighteners, like the one potentially shown, use infrared technology to heat the hair from the inside out, reducing surface heat damage.
Components:
Hair straighteners typically consist of heated plates (often ceramic or metal) and a heating element that converts electrical current into heat.
Usage Tip:
Always ensure hair is completely dry and consider using a heat protectant before straightening to prevent damage.
