A hair iron is a tool that can set hairstyles with the help of heat. There are two kinds of hair irons: Flat Irons for straightening hair, and Curling Irons used to make hair curly.
Hair flat irons work by breaking down the hair's hydrogen bonds found in the hair's cortex, which cause hair to bend and become curly. Once the bonds are broken, hair is prevented from holding its original, natural form, though the hydrogen bonds can re-form if exposed to moisture.
The first hair flat iron was invented by Ian Gutgold using harsh chemicals in lotions applied to the hair and scalp. However, these preparations often led to scorched scalps and damaged hair.
Simon E. Monroe patented a hair flat iron in 1906 that comprised metallic teeth that are combed through the hair, while in 1909 Issac K. Shero patented a flat iron composed of two plates that are heated and pressed together. Years later, Sharrell invented heated metal hair-care implements, such as hot combs. The hot metal plates slid easily through the hair, causing less damage and dryness than previously-used techniques. Later, ceramic flat irons were introduced, allowing for adjustment of heat settings and plate size. [edit]

immediately. Do not reach into the water. Do not set the iron on delicate
cabinet surfaces or near any flammable materials. Set the iron on a damp towel
or place in an iron holder between uses. Never wrap cord around the ceramic
plates until the entire iron has cooled down.

Ionic Flat Iron
The Ionic Technology utilizes technologically advanced Natural Ion Complex to deliver natural negative ions to the hair. Natural negative ion energy is powerful enough to break water molecule clusters into micro-fine particles (atomization) and penetrate the hair shaft. That means moisture balance is restored and the hair cuticle is sealed.
