How I tested the best hair straighteners for short hair?

I have a short bob so I was in an ideal situation to test out the straighteners for short hair. I reviewed them keeping certain parameters in mind and then gave them a score from 1-5. These parameters include:

• Size of Plates/Brush – For short hair smaller plates are ideal so I checked if the flat irons are of the right size or if the brush is small enough in width.
• Safety for Hair – I also checked if the flat irons would suit fine, damaged hair or if the material is titanium or ceramic.
• Number of Functions – I lastly noted if the hair straightener comes with a lot of features like dual voltage, auto shut-off, etc. and rated them more if they did.

Ghd gold professional ½ inch straightener

Best 1 Inch Flat Iron For Short Hair

GHD Gold Hair Straightener is perfect for those who are looking for a flat iron that heats up quickly.

I often run late in the mornings simply because the straightener needs time to heat up and it can really irritation.

So I was glad to see that this product has ceramic plates of 1 inch each that heats up within 25 seconds and can reach an optimum temperature of 365°F.

My favorite part about this straightener is that the product comes with dual-zone sensors that can monitor the heat setting in order to minimize any sort of damage to the hair.

I have fairly thin, fragile hair so it was a great feature for people like me.

Another features of this product that I adore is its automatic sleep mode that gets activated after 30 minutes of usage.

So if you’re forgotten to switch off your flat iron in a hurry don’t worry this one will keep your home safe.

I also prefer straighteners that are travel friendly and while this product isn’t the most compact, I liked that it comes with universal voltage (dual voltage) feature that makes it suitable for international travel.

Pros:

• Has dual-zone sensors that can monitor the flat irons from getting too hot on strands
• Comes with a dual voltage capacity so it’s suited for travelling
• Auto shut-off features makes it safe to use
• Heats up in 25 seconds so it saves you time

Cons:

• Comes with only one heat setting of 365°F so it’s not suitable for people with thick hair who need higher temperatures

Specifications:

• Plate Material – Ceramic
• Size – ½ inch
• Temperature Range – 180F – 365°F
• Additional Features – Dual Voltage

Who It’s Good For – Thin, damaged hair

My Ratings:

• Size of the Plates/Barrel – 4.5/5
• Safety for Hair – 4.5/5
• Number of Functions – 4.5/5

BaBylissPRO Nano titanium sleek straightener

Best Titanium Flat Iron For Short Hair

The top reason why I wanted to try out the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Ultra-Thin Straightening Iron comes with thin and smooth titanium plates that are corrosion resistant.

So I knew I was getting my money’s worth as this flat iron would last me years.

I was honestly a bit afraid to try out the titanium plates as most flat irons come with ceramic plates that don’t heat up quickly and distribute heat slowly to prevent damage.

But I found that I was worrying about thin hair for no reason as the flat iron has low temperature settings that you can use in case of damaged hair.

And the best part? It heats up instantly and can heat up to a maximum temperature of 450°F, with an adjustment of up to 50 heat settings.

I also really liked how the long plates allow better coverage and more flexibility for straightening my hair. I only had to go over my short curly hair once, and I was done!

Another feature of this product is that the titanium plates are available for purchase in 3 different widths – 1 inch, 1.5 inch and 2 inches, for you to choose from!

I got the 2 inches one as I had a slightly longer bob at that point of time, but if you have shorter pixie cuts you can get the 1-inch flat iron.

The plates are thin and long so you can be sure to style your short hair without any much effort. I found that the styling process with this hair straightener is super easy compared to bulkier flat irons like CHI or Herstyler.

Just a note…the heat produced can be quite high even though it is constant so if you have thinning and fine hair, we suggest you be careful with the temperature you’re setting.

Pros:

• Has titanium plates that are corrosion resistant so it lasts for long
• Adjustment of up to 50 heat settings so it can be used on any hair type
• Available for purchase in 3 different widths – 1 inch, 1.5 inch and 2 inches

Cons:

• Doesn’t have the automatic shut-off feature.
• Titanium plates generate very high heat that might not suit fine, damaged hair

Specifications:

• Plate Material – Nano titanium
• Size – 1 inch, 1.5 inch and 2 inches
• Temperature Range – 120 F – 450°F
• Additional Features – 50 Heat settings

Who It’s Good For – Thick African American hair

My Ratings:

• Size of the Plates/Barrel – 4.5/5
• Safety for Hair – 3.5/5
• Number of Functions – 4/5

CHI G2 Ceramic and Titanium 1¼″ Straightening Hairstyling Iron

Best Dual Voltage Flat Iron For Short Hair

CHI G2 Ceramic and Titanium 1¼″ Straightening Hairstyling Iron is a flat iron with 1.25-inch plates perfect for any hair type.

On one hand the plates contain ceramic that distribute heat evenly so fine hair doesn’t get too hot too quicky.

But what I also like about the flat iron is that the plates now come with an all-new high-quality titanium-infused coating, which gives the plates better durability.

I was also impressed with how the product comes with a fully digital display, which also is color-coded as per the temperature settings you choose to use.

It’s good for my coily, 4c hair as it has temperature settings that go up to a maximum setting of 425°F and can heat up within 40 seconds.

But my favorite feature about this straightener has to he the 11-foot cord. It makes the flat iron so easy to use!

I also give it bonus points for having an auto-shut-off feature.

It also includes a thermal pouch to protect the flat iron when not in use along with a limited warranty of 2 years.

As someone who’s always on the move, I liked that it comes with a dual voltage feature, perfect for international travel.

Pros:

• Fully digital display with color-coded temperature settings makes it easier to regulate heat
• Dual-voltage is perfect for travel purposes.
• Very easy to maneuver as it has a 11 foot cord (the longest out of all flat irons reviewed)

Cons:

• Ceramic coated, not completely ceramic plates. So it might still get too hot for damaged hair

Specifications:

• Plate Material – Ceramic and Titanium
• Size – 1¼″ inch
• Temperature Range – 180F – 425°F
• Additional Features – Even heat settings

Who It’s Good For – Normal to wavy hair

My Ratings:
