It’s no secret that Australia has its fair share of humidity and for those of us blessed with thick and curly hair, that can only mean one thing – frizz.
While styling products may do some of the heavy lifting in taming your natural flyaways, it can be a challenge to achieve the perfect smooth and silky style without the added helping hand of a trusty hair straightener.
As much as we love our morning hair routine, excess heat damage and a lengthy styling process are not on our list of priorities as curly-haired gals, which is why we’ve rounded up our favourite straightening irons that help you achieve salon-quality hair without frying your strands.
Whether you’re on the lookout for a much-needed upgrade or are only just dipping your toe into the world of hair styling, scroll down to see our favourite hair straighteners for thick and frizzy hair.
