Nowadays, hair straighteners are an integral part of many bathrooms. No wonder: modern appliances can not only straighten curly and frizzy hair, but can also make beautiful curls with straight hair. Seven straighteners from different manufacturers were tested. A quick note: the days of unruly hair are over!
Here are the test criteria:
Function (50% of the score):
Smoothing results were rated by all testers (different hair types). The number of passes required to achieve a satisfactory result was noted. The temperature actually reached by the different appliances and the distribution of heat on the hot plates were also considered.
Use (35% of the score):
As part of this assessment, the use of the appliance during work was tested. As well as the size and ease of use of the buttons, the numerical displays and their legibility under different lighting conditions were also evaluated. The touch, the number of temperature settings and the heating time were also among the criteria taken into account.
Safety (15% of the score):
The risk of burns has been tested for each appliance. Safety features such as protective caps, transport locking and warnings were also taken into account in the assessment. The presence of an automatic shutdown and the length of time before it was triggered were also noted.
