Titanium Hair Straightener
 |
Can any one tell me WHY Ceramic is better then Titanium? or the other way around? (for Hair straighteners)?
I am puttin this in the Chemistry section because the other people dont seem to have the scientific answer.
Can any one give me some real informations on it? With facts?
Because the both are claiming to be less damaging to hair.. than the other one.
Thank you flying dragon.. can you tell me more.. about which one would be better for a straightener? Less Damaging and with better result?
I suspect the different materials are more of a marketing issue, than a scientific one; there are many companies making hair straighteners and they all want to make their product seem special in some manner.
Ceramic actually has a poorer thermal conductivity than metal, but probably has a higher heat capacity and thus might not cool off as rapidly as metal when the hair is pulled through it. I think hair damage is more related to the temperature the hair reaches and the time it is at this temperature than any particular material the straightener is made of. Also genetics plays a role, some people's hair is practically indestructible and looks great no matter what they do to it and some people's will look totally fried using the same straightner.
Added:
I work as a research scientist and my hair is already straight so I don't even have one, perhaps whoever you go to have your hair done could recomend a brand. (They spend a lot of time talking with customers and probably hear many different opinions about which types people seem to like, and the brands/types to avoid). He/she could probably give some advice on minimizing damage to your hair as well.
