Steam hair straighteners: smooth hair with added moisture
Steam straighteners combine heated plates with a fine burst of steam. The steam helps relax the hair fibre, so it can be straightened at a lower temperature, leaving hair smooth, shiny and less prone to frizz. They are a popular choice for thick, coarse or frizzy hair, and for anyone who wants sleek results with a gentler approach to heat styling.
Why choose steam?
- Smooth results at lower heat compared with many traditional flat irons.
- Less frizz and a glossy, salon-like finish.
- Great for thick or coarse hair that resists straightening.
- Long-lasting smoothness between washes.
How to use a steam straightener
- Fill the water tank as directed, using the recommended type of water.
- Start with dry, detangled hair and apply heat protection.
- Glide slowly through small sections, from roots to ends.
- Empty the tank after use and let the tool cool before storing.
Safety
Steam is hot: keep the vents pointed away from your skin and face, and follow all safety instructions in the manual.
