\n\t\t\t\tWe all know that the type of plate found in your flat iron can have a huge impact on the final result and the health of your hair. There’s been much debate around titanium vs ceramic curling irons, with each having their own benefits for certain hair types. Some of the benefits of titanium are that titanium plates last much longer than ceramic plates and also provide an extra shine when used regularly. They also don’t rust, so your flat iron will look like it just came out of the box for years to come, unlike ceramic plates which are a bit more fragile.\n\nThe reason why you need to care about the type of plate is that most plates generate negative ions, which are what protects your hair from the heat while smoothing down the hair shaft. Different plate types generate different amounts of negative ions, with ceramic slightly inching out over titanium.\n\nThat’s why Hot Tools has taken titanium technology and kicked it up a notch by adding 24k gold into the mix. If you think having a gold hair straightener is going a bit overboard on the bling, the benefits of the gold mix should ease your mind. A gold-plated flat iron generates tons of negative ions which reduce frizz and static while you’re using it. The result? Softer, shinier hair with no frizz thanks to the unique combination of titanium and gold.

And really, who doesn’t want a gold flat iron in their bathroom?\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
