Top-Rated Hair Straighteners for Sleek, Shiny Hair
There's nothing quite like the shine and sleekness that comes from sealing your style with a straightening iron. The problem: It can be difficult to find the one that's best for your hair type (and budget). That's why each year in the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab, we evaluate thousands of hair tools, from the best hair dryers to top-tested curling irons and hair-smoothing hair dryer brushes, to find the only ones that are actually worth your money.
After over 4,914 heat data points measured, 972 survey questions tallied and 108 swatch expansion measurements taken in our most recent Beauty Lab test, we found the top flat irons and straightening brushes at all price points for every hair type that make easy work of straightening your hair — we even found the best flat irons that can curl your hair (just before to douse hair with heat protectant before using!).
