Ceramic plates are often covered with an additional layer of other material that improves the properties of the device. These include such types as:

• teflon - unfortunately, this material tends to wear off quickly, so the life of the device is small;
• tourmaline increases slip coefficient, ionizes hair, protecting them from electrostatics;
• marble has a mild effect due to balanced heating and cooling processes;
• titanium also noted by professionals for the uniformity of temperature; unfortunately, titanium plates are prone to abrasion and easily deformed;
• jade - This is the only material that allows curling wet hair;
• silver - the inner surface of the device is covered with silver ions, which not only heals the curls, but also increases the efficiency of the result.

The former are characterized by greater power and have floating plates, while the second variant is equipped, as a rule, with rigidly fixed surfaces. And also indicate the different widths of the rectifiers. If it is necessary to get curls with their help, then irons like carrots, of conical shape, are suitable for such a procedure.
