Ceramic VS Titanium

Clients are always looking for the Best. The Best Flat Iron, The Best Products, The Best Hair Weave, The Best Hair Stylist, and so on. In 2008 I transitioned from using Ceramic Flat Irons to Titanium Flat Irons. I want to share a few facts on the two so you as a consumer can determine which is Best for You.


Ceramic1.Ceramic flat irons are widely available straightening tools. Ceramic is a non-metallic, non-corrosive inorganic material that is usually baked onto the iron's aluminum base plates in thin layers, although pure ceramic plates are also available. Ceramic irons are more common than titanium irons, so it's possible to find them in more stores, models and price ranges.

Titanium2.Titanium is a lustrous, low-density, lightweight metal derived from igneous rock, known for its strength and high-temperature stability. Titanium is corrosion resistant, conducts heat more evenly and heats up faster than ceramic. Also, titanium has a higher ionic output than ceramic, leaving hair shinier, according to Misikko.com.

Price3.You can find low quality ceramic irons for under $20 that may peel quickly and leave hair damaged. High quality irons with 100 percent ceramic plates can cost over $300. Titanium irons range typically from $50 to $150, and mini irons, made for travel and short hair, are around $30.

Quality4.Titanium irons vary in the amount of titanium used. They can have pure titanium plates, ceramic-coated titanium plates or utilize nano-titanium technology, in which the ceramic is treated with tiny particles of titanium. They are not known for peeling, whereas ceramic-coated irons can wear out or flake due to hair products or poor quality.

Misconception5.Both ceramic and titanium irons claim the materials they use keep the iron from damaging hair; however, any tool or procedure involving high heat will dry the hair and make it brittle over time, especially with prolonged and frequent use. High-quality irons apply more consistent and controlled heat, which helps to avoid damage.

Benefits:

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TITANIUM PLATES?

Like ceramic, Titanium also produces an even distribution of heat, prevents static electricity, smooths and seals the hairs cuticle and add shine. There are a few benefits that Titanium has over Ceramic being Titanium is an extremely durable metal which is scratch resistant and light weight.
