How Much Do You Know About Hair Straightener?

Hair straightener is also called hair straightener machine, which heats the heating element MCH or PTC or heating wire of the hair straightener through electric current, and conducts heat to the aluminum plate or ceramic plate.

The function of the hair straightener is to straighten the hair, heat the hair through the heating element, soften it, and then cool it to achieve the purpose of hair straightening. The current hair straighteners can both straighten and roll.

Hair straightener classification

1) Hair straighteners can be divided into ceramic heating elements, PTC heating elements and MCH heating elements according to the different heating elements. 

The advantages of ceramic heating elements are environmental protection and fast heating speed. Generally, the surface temperature of the splint can reach 200 degrees in 30 to 45 seconds. However, since the ceramic heating element is sintered at a high temperature above 1000 degrees, its temperature will quickly exceed 300 degrees after the circuit is out of control, which will burn out the plastic material that fixes the heating plate, causing the heating plate to fall off, and it may be contacted. User, and burns the skin.

PTC is the abbreviation of Positive Temperature Coefficient. It is sintered at high temperature, but the maximum temperature of its surface can be controlled during sintering. According to the requirements of the manufacturer, the surface can be sintered below 280, or any temperature desired by the manufacturer. It is generally sintered to 230 degrees to 280 degrees. But its disadvantage is that the temperature rises to 200 degrees slowly, generally about one and a half minutes or two minutes. In addition, in use, it cannot be continuously maintained at a higher temperature like a ceramic heating element. The effect of straightening hair is slightly worse.

2)

According to the different materials of the heating plate, hair straighteners can be divided into: pure ceramic heating plate, aluminum plate with ceramic glaze sprayed on the surface, and glass-ceramic plate. The advantages of ceramic heating plate are environmental protection, good insulation performance, and good safety. The disadvantage is that the processing cycle is long, the processing steps are many, and because the edges are difficult to handle and are very smooth, the hair will be slightly pulled in the process of straightening the hair.

The advantage of spraying ceramic glaze on the aluminum plate is that it is easy to produce. In addition, due to the mechanical molding, the edges are smooth and will not pull the hair. Since the surface is sprayed with ceramic glaze, the hair extension effect is also very good. The disadvantage is that because it is metal, it is not insulated, and the internal heating element must be insulated to avoid potential safety hazards caused by leakage.

The application of glass-ceramic plate is less, mainly because the smoothness of its surface is not as good as that of ceramic glaze, and it is not easy to form and fix, so the product structure must be redesigned.

3)

Hair straighteners are distinguished from the structure, generally divided into two types: V-type and X-type. The X-type is more popular in the early days, but the V-type is more popular recently. Because the V-shaped hair straightener can not only straighten hair, but also can be used for curling hair. More and more hairdressers use hair straighteners to curl hair.

4)

According to different power sources, hair straighteners are divided into wired hair straighteners and wireless rechargeable hair straighteners. Wired hair straighteners are hair straighteners that work by connecting to the city power. The charged battery is charged, using the battery as a power source. The advantage of the wired hair straightener is that it can work continuously, but the disadvantage is that if the control is not reasonable during the design and production of the hair straightener, there will be safety risks. In addition, it is inconvenient to have a power cord in use, and it is inconvenient to go out and carry. The advantage of the wireless hair straightener is safety, because it is powered by a tributary, and it is convenient to carry when traveling. But the disadvantage of the wireless hair straightener is that it can only work for 30 minutes to 1 hour after each charge.

5)

Hair straighteners can be divided into wide plate, medium plate, narrow plate and mini type according to the size.

The length of the hair straightener of the wide-board hair straightener is generally 90MM and the width is 42MM. The length of the medium-board hair straightener is generally 90MM and the width is 24MM. The length of the narrow-board hair straightener is generally 80-90MM and the width is 13-14MM, the length of the mini hair straightener is generally 60MM, and the width is 13-14MM.

6)

According to the hair extension type, hair straighteners can be divided into ordinary type and wet and dry type. Ordinary hair straighteners must be blow-dried when pulling the hair to start pulling, and the wet and dry type can pull wet hair. The hair straightener of the wet and dry hair straightener should have 8-10 pores, so that water can become steam and emerge from the pores.

7) 

Voltage and export country classification, plugs include China plug, European plug, American plug (American leakage protection plug), Australian plug, Japanese plug, German electric plug, South Africa plug, British plug and other plugs. Voltage: 110V-240V universal voltage is also available, just for a certain country, specific voltage or current.
