I have curly hair, and I've been hearing for a while that ceramic straighteners are better than metal ones. I've been using a regular straightener for about five years now, and my hair's gotten really dry. Is it worth switching to ceramic, or is it just marketing?
Maybe the issue isn't the metal itself, but the fact that you've been frying your hair every single day for five years with no protection? Ceramic does actually heat up more evenly and more gently than bare metal - that's not marketing, that's physics. But if your hair is already dried out now, a new straightener won't save it without heat protectant, oils, and cutting back on how often you use it. Switching to ceramic makes sense, but as part of a whole routine: plus a spray before styling, plus nourishing masks, plus trying to style less often.
