It straightens my hair in one pass, which reduces how much heat I expose my hair to and thus reduces the risk of damage. This is thanks to its curved edges and cool tip. Design-wise, it’s sleek and comfortable to hold, which makes it great for creating curls and flicks as well as straight styles. It sells a range of straighteners to suit different budgets, and the best of the bunch is the Platinum+. GHD was a pioneer of the ceramic hot plate and is still considered a hair tool leader. The onboard battery also makes it quite heavy. It can be used without a cord, but the battery life is too short to straighten my whole head of hair. Still, it has flaws for a $500 hair straightener. It makes you feel fancy, like all Dyson tools tend to do, and its flexing plates quickly get your hair straighter with less heat-they curve around the hair, avoiding the splaying-out effect and uneven heat distribution that plague other flat irons. ★ More Luxury From Dyson: We love the Dyson Corrale ($499) ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends), but it's extremely expensive. If you'd rather have two dedicated hair tools, the company also has a curling iron ($249) with the same HeatID tech. Once you perfect that flick of the wrist, your hair will look like you just came from the salon. I also love its Refresh Mode for touching up hair later at a lower temperature based on previous settings. To set the right temperature, select your hair features via the touch controls on the iron's handle: texture (fine, medium, coarse), length (short, medium, long), and if your hair is color-treated. Most hot hair tools claim to cause less damage than the competition, but the T3 actually delivers with a unique temperature-finding feature the company calls HeatID Technology. But it might be worthwhile if you're concerned about hair damage. The T3 Smooth ID hair straightener would be in our top spot if it wasn't so expensive.

Updated September 2023: We added GHD's Platinum Plus flat iron and Duet styler, Chi's Original Ceramic flat iron, and L'Oreal's Steampod. There's a dizzying number of options around, but hopefully our favorite hair straighteners can help narrow down your search. Some flat irons have left us with crispy ends and cramped hands, while others, like the ones listed here, gave us sleek hair. WIRED's Gear team has an array of curl types, needs, and hair-styling tricks, and we've all tried a lot of hair straighteners in our lifetimes. Having a good tool, be it a flat iron or a blow-dry brush, makes that process easier. Whether you have tight coils, waves, or Shirley Temple spirals, sometimes you just want to smooth them out and not be bothered for a few days. Curls are beautiful, but taking care of and styling them can be a long, frustrating, and often expensive task.
