                                            Titanium Flat Irons Vs. Ceramic Flat Irons

 Not a stylist, but want a nice flat iron for everyday use? Are you debating which would be most beneficial for your healthy hair? Well here is a quick difference between the two most popular flat irons, and hopefully you find the one that you heart the most!

 Ceramic is a non-metallic, non-corrosive inorganic material that is usually baked onto the iron's aluminum base plates in thin layers, although pure ceramic plates are also available. Ceramic irons are more common than titanium irons, so it's possible to find them in more stores, models and price ranges. Many prefer ceramic, because it provides less heat damage.
                                                                           

     VS. 

 Titanium is a lustrous, low-density, lightweight metal derived from igneous rock, known for its strength and high-temperature stability. Titanium is corrosion resistant, conducts heat more evenly and heats up faster than ceramic. Also, titanium has a higher ionic output than ceramic, leaving hair shinier, according to Misikko.com.

 Price Difference: High quality irons with 100 percent ceramic plates can cost over $300. Many of these high quality irons can be found in stores such as Marshalls or TJ Maxx for a lower price, but same name brand. Titanium irons range typically from $50 to $150, and mini irons, made for travel and short hair are around $30.

 All heat styling products can lead to hair damage if used to frequently. High quality products apply more controlled, and consistent heat to avoid heat damage. Which flat iron do you prefer?

Which do you prefer? Change it up all the time or make it last for awhile? It is totally up to you if you prefer a glue-in versus a sew-in; they both have advantages and disadvantages. How we put together a quick list for your reference when making the choice…

Glue-in weaves...

1. Flatter results after installation.
2. Take less time.
3. Budget friendly.
4. Hard maintenance natural hair while wearing a glue-in.
5. Don’t apply too much oil. This will loosen installation.

Sew-in weaves...

1. Can be costly.
2. Longevity (Last longer).

4. Easier to maintain routine maintenance of your natural and extension hair.

Winter Hair Care

The cold winter months can be brutal on your hair. From the dry air to the threat of rain a girl can real have issues keeping a style. So to combat the winter months, we’ve put together a list that can help you keep your hair extensions and your natural hair healthy all winter long.

Winter Do’s and Don’ts:

• Start with great products. This may be the time that you switch up your routine and invest in some more luxurious products. Moisturizing shampoos & conditioners, hydrating and leave-in products help to keep your hair from drying out (roots to ends). 
• Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment. We sometimes overdo it with the heat and this is the season for shedding so you want to make sure you’re loving your hair and protecting your cuticles.
• Take a break from heat… at least no everyday heat. Your hair just can’t handle too much heat in the winter months this leads to excessive damage (breakage and dryness). 
• Trim those ends. This should go without saying. Your hair will grow healthier with regular trimmings by your stylist.
