I don't know why but a hair straightener has always been one of those things where I thought the more money you spend on a hair straightener the better it'll straighten your hair. I was wrong! Big time! Iconic technology: hair straighteners with ionic technology reduce frizz, snags and fly-aways because they neutralise the positive charge that'd usually cause hair strands to repel each other. Temperature settings: consider hair straighteners with variable temperature settings so you get the optimum experience for your hair type and desired look. Such a feature is also great if you plan on sharing your straighteners with others.

Fact: hair straighteners are one of the most useful hair tools around. If you're after poker-straight hair, beach waves or bouncy curls, any hair stylist would confirm that having a quality hair straightener can help even the most novice hair enthusiasts master the most versatile hairstyles with ease. If you've got frizzy hair: ionic technology is key for you, as it'll protect your hair against humidity throughout the day. Why we love it: If you're looking for ground-breaking technology – Dyson is your go-to. Not only has the brand revolutionised the haircare market by applying its trailblazing vacuum know-how to curling wands and hair dryers (Dyson Airwrap, anyone?), but they've also made a sideways jump into heat styling. There are five different temperature settings (160 to 230C), a super-fast 15-second heat-up time and an auto-safety shut-off feature. They also come with a heat resistant storage pouch.
