Straighteners to create different styles
Straight looks

- And go further with some of our straighteners equipped with a built-in comb for a salon finish result.
Wavy looks
Did you know your straightener can be used as a styling tool? For gorgeous waves, select a temperature of up to 180°C, place a strand in the straightener, rotate half a turn away from the face and glide quickly. For natural or beach waves, use a brush or wide-toothed comb to soften the strands.
Curly looks
Use rounded straighteners to shape your curls better. Select a temperature above 180°C, place the strand in the straightener, rotate half a turn away from face - and glide slowly. Enjoy glamorous curls in no time!
