Top-10 Straighteners
Loved in Canada

The Dyson Airstrait™ Straightener stands out by using a unique airflow method instead of traditional hot plates to style hair. Instead of pressing your hair between heated plates, it gently projects precisely heated, high-pressure air downward to align and straighten strands. This approach reduces the risk of extreme heat damage and breakage, making it a good choice if you’re concerned about protecting your hair’s health.

It doesn’t have conventional features like adjustable temperature settings or visible plates, so if you prefer quick, intense heat styling or specific temperature control, this might feel different from typical straighteners. It’s a corded device with a decent power level (1600 watts). The device is a bit heavier and longer than many standard straighteners, which might impact handling comfort during longer styling sessions.

The Dyson Airstrait™ is ideal for those who want a gentler, innovative way to straighten hair with less heat damage, but it may not suit users looking for fast heat-up times, adjustable temperatures, or classic plate styling.

The ghd Platinum+ Styler is a premium 1-inch flat iron designed to protect and strengthen hair during styling. It uses ceramic plates with an ultra-gloss coating, which helps hair look shinier and reduces snagging, allowing smooth styling whether you want straight hair or curls. One of its standout features is the smart ultra-zone technology that measures heat 250 times per second to keep the temperature steady at the ideal 365°F. This precise temperature control aims to minimize hair damage, offering about 70% stronger hair and twice the color protection compared to traditional straighteners.

The 1-inch plate width is a versatile size suitable for most hair types and styles, especially if you want to switch between straightening and curling. Weighing 454 grams, it's lightweight enough for comfortable use over time. This straightener is ideal for anyone looking for a tool that cares for hair health and color, although those who need customizable temperature settings or specific features like cord length and auto shut-off should verify those aspects before purchasing.

The BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Stainless Steel OPTIMA Hair Straightener is a solid choice if you want a professional-level tool that works well on all hair types. It features 1.25-inch wide plates made from nano titanium, which heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly, helping reduce damage to your hair. The temperature range is broad, from 150°C to a very high 240°C (300-465°F), making it versatile whether you want gentle styling or intense straightening.

This straightener also includes silicone cool tips for safe handling and a 360-degree swivel cord, which prevents tangling and allows easy movement while styling. Its stainless steel housing is designed to resist warping even with frequent use. The dual voltage feature is handy if you travel internationally.

This straightener balances strong performance with durable build quality, making it suitable for both everyday users and those seeking professional results.
