What it all means.....

Ceramic Plates

Metal plates can be fine for your hair but ceramic plates are microscopically smoother and kinder to your hair. They can be heated quicker and the temperature can be maintained more accurately. Ceramic also prevent uncontrolled rises in temperature and allow for even heat distribution.

Ion Technology
Ion technology generates are field of negatively charged particles which break apart water molecules into smaller ones. These smaller particles can be absorbed more easily by the hair leaving the hair moister and less brittle. If when using a hair straightener you find that your hair is dryer and/or more brittle then using ion technology should greatly improve the condition of your hair.
Ion technology produces:
• Improved hair condition
• Softer and shinier hair
• More moisture in the hair making it less flyaway
• Faster drying making a better longer lasting effect with less time spent by you.

Infra Red Technology
The infra red technology seals the moisture in the
hair preventing drying out due to the heat from the appliance.
Infra Red Technology produces
• No loss of hairs condition
• Softer and shinier hair
• More moisture in the hair making it less flyaway
• Faster drying making a better longer lasting effect with less time spent by you.

Rapid Heat
Rapid heat like the name suggests means that the straightener will heat up faster and therefore use less electricity. This also preserves the life of the appliance. Rapid heat can half the total time it takes to straighten your hair. You can also turn the appliance off between sections, to save electricity, confident that the appliance will re-heat in seconds. Rapid Heat needs more expensive, fast acting control over the temperature so that the heat doesn't shoot up straight past the desired temperature. It is easier to control the temperature if it creeps up slowly. This is one of the differences between straighteners when it comes to price. A cheap straightener can take up to 10 minutes to reach the desired temperature. Top of the range straighteners can reach operating temperatures in a matter of seconds.

Adjustable Temperature Control
If you find that the temperature of the iron is too cold or hot for your hair then an adjustable temperature is essential to control the irons heat. If your iron is too cool for your hair then its results will be less effective and last shorter. If the iron is too hot for your hair then it will dry the hair and the condition of your hair will deteriorate.

Automatic Sensor Control
As with the adjustable temperature control except the temperature is set automatically by sensors in the iron.

Switchable Temperature
The Dana Italia straightener has two fixed temperature settings chosen by a switch on the appliance. Better than no choice but not very flexible

Plate Size
The size of the plate determines how much hair can be treated in any one pass of the iron. Larger plates means a quicker action can be used decreasing the time needed to perform the straightening.

Voltage
Most electrical appliances will work on 120V since the heat of the plates is controlled by thermostat. The only problem is that some of the appliances will take longer to reach their operating temperatures at lower voltages.
We personally tested all appliances at 120V and all appliances reached their operating temperatures.
