Hair straighteners are a must-have for many to tame fly-away or frizzy hair - or just to keep your tresses in a super-sleek style for longer.

Also known as flat irons, hair straighteners use heated plates to iron out the kinks in your hairs.

To make sure you don't damage your locks you'll need to choose one that is adapted to your hair's texture.

Those with thick, coarse hair will need a straightener that heats up to high temperatures quickly.

You should also pick one with large and wide irons, which will cover more surface and make it easier to style your bangs.

Thick hair can create some great curls, and a good hard working set of flat irons should be able to create no-frizz waves on your locks, too.

When buying straighteners for long, thick, curly or afro hair, it's best to choose wide-plate varieties.

This allows for maximum contact with the hair, and for more of your mane to fit in each time, meaning it won't take all day to style.

Titanium hair straighteners are usually considered better for people with thick hair, while ceramic are recommended for those with thin or dry hair.

That's because titanium hair heaters can reach high temperatures in very little time for a quick hair styling experience.

Their power and heat makes them ideal for women with thick, coarse and stubborn hair that need high temperatures for a proper straighten.

Those with thinner or fragile hair, don't need such high heats, and would be safer to stick to ceramic to avoid damaging their hair further.
