Best hair straighteners 2021: Get the look you want

 


(Pocket-lint) - One of those pieces of technology that many people do not think of as technical is hair straighteners - at many shops you can pick up a cheap package for pennies.

Use them, however, and you're going to put the protection of your barnet in the Gods' lap. To get a good pair, you really need to spend a little more and that's why GHD leads our list. They are really the best around, but we have gathered some fantastic alternatives for you to consider as well.

Here's our pick of the best hair straighteners to buy today

GHD Original Styler


For many, the issue of which hair straighteners to purchase is as easy as "Which GHD set can I afford?". That's how amazing the performance of the many different models on offer is. We prefer the most conventional version, which heats up quickly and straightens quickly and requires minimum passes.

There's a reason why GHD stands for "Good Hair Day" - get a few of these and you'll only be away from one yourself for a few short seconds. Plus, the standard of construction and safety measures mean that they are safe and secure for daily use.

Cloud Nine The Wide Iron


The great advantage of this pair of straighteners in their name and design - the extra-wide iron shape - is implied very heavily. It means that every time you push it through, your hair gets a slightly longer period of time in the hold, for a faster finish.

In just seven seconds, heating to its target temperature ensures that these Cloud Nines are really good at getting a great job done sharply, but although for the privilege you'll have to pay a really premium amount.

Toni & Guy Fluid Metal Styler


The renowned stylist brand Toni & Man, coming down the budgetary ladder, offers a great mid-range alternative that is not expensive but still does an admirable job.

We're major fans of the iridescent finish on the iron itself, though you can be satisfied by a five-year guarantee that it'll last a decent amount of time. Plus, the straightening, which is all you really need, is nice and fast.


We're not going to say they would fit into the budgets of most people, but the fact is that the Dyson Corrale is about as good as it gets for hair straightening. The astronomical price is why this list is not higher, however you can afford them to get outstanding results and excellent hair care.

Cordless, it feels like using tech from the future with extremely fast straightening and an impressive luxury design, but there's no ignoring the reality that the price is more than a little wild.

Glamoriser Bluetooth Smart Straighteners


Our final range of irons has a bit of an engineering twist - the communication Glamorise Bluetooth packs to let you customize how your mobile functions with the straighteners. That means that you can customize it to your style and comfort of hair.

It's a fantastic feature that we'd expect to spread over time across other competing versions, but is attached to a fairly decent pair of straighteners rather than incredible. It's not too costly, though, making it a solid investment if your budget seems a little far-fetched for the likes of a GHD.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
