What are Steam Hair Straighteners?
Steam hair straighteners are electric hair styling tools designed to straighten hair with the use of heat and steam. While some hair straightening irons are designed for use on dry hair, steam hair straighteners can be used on damp hair. They are made with vent channels along the sides of flat plates, which allows the moisture from damp hair to be extracted and seal the hair cuticle as the hair is straightened and the steam is vented. There are several advantages to steam hair straighteners, the primary advantage being the ability to use them on damp hair. This makes it possible to style towel dried hair and eliminates the need to blow the hair dry before use. Eliminating blow drying not only saves time, but creates less heat damage to the hair itself. Additionally, steam hair straighteners tend to make straightening thick or coarse hair easier because of the use of steam, similar to pressing a shirt with a steam iron.
