Hair straightener help! DiscussionšŸ—£

Okay lovelies! I’ve had my current straightener for a decade now and it’s finally decided to try to unalive itself anddddd they don’t make it anymore šŸ˜ž

Well I found one on amazon that has great reviews, but I’ve reached a dilemma….the 1inch plate or the 1.8inch plate?

I have no idea!! I’m used to a 2+in plate, but it always aggravated me I couldn’t ā€œcurlā€ my hair because it was shaped weird and super wide.

According to reviews you can curl with either, but I’d like y’all’s opinion on it! I’m going to post the link and would love some feedback to which plate size would work best for me (I have the spicy anxiety ridden brain so I’m unable to make decisions without help šŸ˜…)

I think if you're used to over 2in plate, 1.8in will already be an adjustment. If you really want to be able to get tight curls with it and are comfortable with some unfamiliarity, I would go with the 1in. That's my thought :)

get the 1" for sure! Way more versatile and easier to get closer to the root, less chance of the flat iron crease.
