Heat styling tools are more than an investment in your looks; they're an investment where the pay off is healthy hair. Taking a few minutes to choose the hair straightener that’s right for your specific needs - and your hair type - is essential. Think about it. You’ll be using this styling tool on the precious hair you strive to keep looking as healthy and beautiful as possible. Your straightener should be a match made in heaven for your hair, not a necessary evil. Believe it or not, but not all styling tools are out to get you. Some are ready to help you restore your hair and give you the look you’ve been dreaming of for years.

Different hair types, styling expectations and lifestyles will all impact the kind of heat styling tool you should be using. Do you plan to use heat styling for nights out or special occasions only? Do you plan to style your hair everyday? How much time do you plan on devoting to your styling routine? These are all important questions to consider when deciding on the best styling tool for your hair. Because it’s not only your hairstyle you’re concerned about, but your hair’s health as well.

If you select your heat styling tool based on your hair type (which you need to consider carefully), you'll fall completely in love with your hair straightener and wonder how you ever lived without it.

That’s why NuMe offers so many options. We’ve put together the ultimate hair straightener guide and tips so you can easily see the features of each of our award-winning hair straighteners and discover the NuMe styling tool that’s best for you. Spoiler alert: NuMe hair straighteners use infrared heating technology which treats your locks like the queens they are.

For an in-depth look at what to consider when deciding between tourmaline and titanium,check out our Classic Curling Wand vs Magic Curling Wand Guide. Here’s a quick breakdown on each of all NuMe materials to help you get started:

• Gentle, non-damaging heat styling.
• Best for medium to thick hair types.
• Heats quickly and distributes heat evenly.
• Because of the quality of pure stone ceramic, avoid dropping or banging these tools--they’re delicate.

• Safe for any hair type - thin, medium, thick, and even dyed or damaged.
• Perfect those who plan to style with a straightener every day, since tourmaline ceramic doesn't damage hair.
• Tourmaline emits high levels of negatively charged ions, leaving hair smooth and conditioned.

• For those with coarse hair, for special occasions, or for professional use.
• Be advised this is a powerful material that provides an intense and even heat so it’s not meant for everyday use, especially on fine hair.
• Please consult with a styling professional to find out if titanium is the right for your hair.

Stone ceramic delivers even heat that won't damage hair. This gentle heat option can be a fantastic choice for those who are new to heat styling. Our stone ceramic hair straighteners also have wider plates, making styling faster as they hold larger sections of the hair.  All our pure stone ceramic hair straighteners feature floating plates that let your hair glide through smoothly without pulling or snagging; the material heats your hair evenly and emits negative ions for incredible shine that cancels out free radicals found in the environment (all that positive frizzy energy you didn’t know about). And finally, a fully rotating swivel cord for ultimate styling comfort!

Using 100% titanium  means that NuMe hair straightener plates are not simply coated over lesser-quality metal. Instead, they are crafted with pure titanium. These titanium plates will always heat evenly, one of the main advantages of titanium. Like tourmaline ceramic, titanium also has properties that release negative conditioning ions - and thanks to using pure titanium - they won't fade over time.
