What should you consider when choosing a straightener ?
Plates that match your hair type
The right size of a straightener plate is the main criteria to ensure perfect results and an ease of use. We recommend you the following:
- For short and mid-length hair, choose a 2 - 2.5cm plate.
- For mid-long, wavy, curly and thick hair, select a larger plate from 3.5cm.
- For long and very long hair, choose a plate starting at 10cm in size.
Attachments to create the style you want
Enhance results with the right attachment.For lively straightening with natural volume, use the built-in volumizing brush.
For sleek, salon-approved straightening, choose a straightener with built-in comb.

Right coating for your plates
Our straighteners are designed with ceramic plates for homogeneous heat repartition and glide. Some come with additional materials: tourmaline for added shine and softness, Keratin infusion to protect hair and bring a silky touch, Argan oil and Quartz to boost glow.
Right temperature settings according to your hair type
Find the right temperature to get perfect results while preserving your hair fiber. Our straighteners have adjustable temperature settings:
- For straight, thin to normal hair or on sensitized hair select a temperature below 180°. Rowenta even recommends to use an optimal care temperature of 170° to keep hair healthy and fully protected.
- For wavy, frizzy or thick hair select a temperature between 180° and 210°.
Additional technologies that make the difference
Got thin or dull hair? Use ionic technology delivering negative ions to reduce static and leave hair smooth, sleek with radiant glow.
