20 Best Steam Flat Iron For Black Hair (2023 Updated)

My old straighteners are over 10 years old now. It’s way over due a replacement. First of all they are packaged really nicely in a nice looking box with a cardboard slip case. I love the feel of them, it’s quite a soft material, same with the cord.

Holds well in the hand too. The cord is really long so reaches both mirrors. Iv never used steam straighteners before. I put it on the highest setting and you could see it coming out. They get to 230 degrees, but you can’t tell, they do a great job without feeling like they’re damaging your hair.

Hair is nice and soft and didn’t take a long time to do it all. Really recommend these straighteners, I am now converted and will be checking out other products.

These hair straighteners are amazing! They were very easy to set up, the little water tank unclips with the touch of the button, it takes seconds to fill and pop back on. They heat up quickly and the led display informs you when they are ready to use.

I have extremely frizzy hair that is thick, curly and dry so I was very excited to try these as they have the option to use steam, I popped them on the highest steam setting as recommended for my hair type and I was blown away, I managed straighten my hair in 30 minutes! And it was so incredibly smooth with no frizz and no dryness or damage! My hair also stayed straight with no kinks or waves coming back over time.

I’m extremely impressed! Best straighteners I have ever used!.

I have very curly thick hair and it is not easy to straighten. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Revlon Extra Long Ceramic Flat Iron straightened my hair. Its light weight and my hand does not get tired during the process.

It also has several different heat settings, which is important for curly hair. My hair type requires a very hot flat iron to get all the curls out. Their is minimal hair loss from pulled hair, which is inevitable.

Overall this is a great product and I highly recommend for long curly hair. It works well for me and keeps my hair straight until I wash it out.

This flat iron is amazing. It is very lightweight so it’s easy to take anywhere with you. It heats up quickly and is easy to use. I love the different heat settings so I can adjust it depending on what I need to do to my hair.

My hair was left smooth and there was no frizz or damage from the heat. It has an automatic shut off which is great. Many times I am in a rush and worry that I left things on. Now I am more at ease knowing it will shut itself off if I forget.

I definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants an easy to use straightener that will leave their hair looking perfect.

I love this so much I am a novice when it comes to doing my hair but this makes it easy. I wanted to do all those cute beachy waves so many are doing with their shoulder length bob. My old flat iron made it impossible from burning my hands to not having the oval shape barrel it just looked terrible.

I was so nervous spending the money but took the risk and glad I did! I love it. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is I am constantly changing the temp for how I need to grip it to curl my hair I wish there was a way to lock it in place once you have the temp you choose.

But other than that it is great.

I am always so picky when it comes to straighteners, and I am really very happy with this purchase. It is so practical! For example, you can change the temperature at the bottom and it’s digital and goes up pretty high.

I have thick, curlish hair that looks like a frizzy lions mane when I blow dry it. Having this straighter helps tame it so much! The on button is placed in the perfect spot too so that way you don’t have to worry about hitting it randomly when straightening.

I also love how it glides easily down my hair and doesn’t pull at all. It may be expensive compared to some, but hey, I have literally NO complaints so far. The auto shut off even saved me the other day when I forgot to turn it off.

If you’re thinking hard about a straightener like I was. just go ahead and buy it. You won’t be sorry.

I’ve had this for about I think almost a year. I very picky with everything I use on my interracial hair. it’s frizzy, complicated, and when I straight my hair I want it done right and I don’t like to continuously go over the same strain of hair to make it straight.

This one has met my standards. I highly recommend this for frizzy, or thick interracial hair like mine. The neat thing too is I only have it up to 380 and it does the trick rather than having to go to the max high on the others which were the cheaper ones I had in the past.

Bought this just because I couldn’t afford to spend 100+ dollars on a Baby BabyBlissPro flat iron and to be honest, I was mainly surprised that it not only had decent variation in heat settings. I have really fine hair so since I bleach mine and I am prone to split ends I was happy to get an option under 450 but higher than the 300’s.

The reason I didn’t rate a full 5 stars is that the power button/volume controls are on the side of the handle so you can easily turn it up or accidentally turn it off. But it wasn’t a major detractor! The iron heats up within a minute! Also when I saw that it was rainbow I wanted it so bad.

Stay safe and have a good day all!! #conair #hair #finehair.

LOVE!!! I can’t think of one bad thing to say about this iron; it curls just as easily as it straightens plus it’s beautiful! And the best part? I’ve had my eye on this thing for quite a while but at $50-$75 it’s out of my budget.

On Amazon right now there’s a sale, I paid $20! If you’re looking for a fabulous iron but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg, go get this! The photo does it no justice.

I purchased this flat iron approximately two weeks ago. I have very fine,thin, shorter shoulder length hair. I was looking for a flat iron that would straighten my hair while adding shine and not frying the ends, but I wanted to also create curls for the very popular Beach Wave look.

When I flat iron to straighten my hair and while running my hair through the flat iron it is super smooth and does not snag my hair at all. It is amazing how smooth and Flawless it straightens , it does add shine as well and does not leave my hair frizzy.

When I use the flat iron to get curls I have to practice a little more on my technique but for my hard to curl hair it does create curls that last most of the day. My one hang up with this flat iron is that while maneuvering it to make curls it is super easy to hit the off switch.

And also when turning the Flatiron on you must hold the on switch for several seconds before it turns on. Overall I really like this flat iron.

I bought this item during the Target Black Friday sale. The first iron I received was defective and would automatically turn off as soon as I turned it on. I tried multiple plugs to make sure it was the iron and not the outlet before sending it back.

Target replaced it, although it took a few weeks to receive the new one. I have owned many other brands of irons, most of them considered higher end vs this one. I am impressed with the features this one comes with: electronic temperature control (my GHD does not have this), curved plate edges for curling hair (again my GHD does not have this), additional length of plates accommodating for long hair, and the smoothness of the Titanium plates.

It is packed with features for the price. However, it does not have dual voltage which means I can not travel with it as it won’t convert in other countries to their power type, which is something I general seek out in an iron.

Also, there is something about it that just feels a little flimsy compared to the GHD I am replacing it with, or the Amika I had previously owned, or even the Chi iron I had before that one. I use my iron every day, sometimes multiple times a day for touch ups, and they tend to last me about 2 years (doesn’t matter which brand) before they fizzle out.

I have long wavy hair, that I either straighten or put a curl into depending on how much time I have. I will keep this iron because I only paid $60 for it during the Black Friday sale, but it’s not my favorite of all the irons I have owned and used in the past.

It’s definitely “passable” and worth the $60 price tag however. I’ll be looking to purchase another iron with dual voltage when I am able to start traveling again. This one should get me through until then.

I received a defective hair straightener. Turns on fine, heats up, then if I move the straightener, it also moves the electrical cord of course, then it shuts off immediately. I turn it back on, and try to straighten my hair, again it shuts off immediately.

Manual says that temperature blink until it heats up, which it did, then once a desired temperature is reached, it suppose to be on a few minutes. In my case, I pick up the straightener after it heats up, then it shuts off and cools off quickly!!! Impossible to keep it warm, due to the electrical issue in the cord.

The product was defective. Not happy dealing with re-packing, printing labels, and packaging again. I have a video recording available to proof this issue. I am sure it works, not in my case. Not one star, if possible- there was no choice of 0 star.

Before this I had a $400 straightener but I always wondered what these detangling straightener would be like. This straightener works 10x better at a fraction of the cost. My hair is a 4c kinky hair and with this straightener I don’t have to comb my hair prior to straightening it.

Absolutely love it and would recommend it to my close friends this holiday season.

I absolutely love my new flat iron that also allows for the ease of doing my hair while it’s wet. What a time saver it has been for me going to Nursing school & Work! The quality is excellent. It has air holes allowing it to vent and express steam and dry your hair while it is wet or damp.

I set it at 300 temperature and it takes 10 seconds to heat up so it’s ready to start straightening right away. However it does take a bit for it to cool down. The iron is a great size for those of us that small irons aren’t enough.

You can take a whole big section and it flattens easily and looks great. So bigger sections also allow for getting done a lot quicker. No need to take small sections to get a great look. I love the 360 swivel of the cord that keeps it from getting tangled so easily and creating a short life for the iron.

You can use both hands without constantly trying to move the cord out of the way. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great innovative flat iron that’s efficient, great design and creates great styles.

I voluntarily reviewed a gifted flat iron in exchange for an honest review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

This Remington Pro Wet2Style Flat Iron is an upgrade from the older model. I love that there are vents to take the water out of your hair while you straighten and a big enough plate to get bigger chunks, the less time I spend trying to fix my hair the better.

The color of the device itself looks almost dusty pink and the buttons are on the side! It gets up to 450° but I would never push it that far and risk frying my hair. It doesn’t take long to heat up and I only have to do 2 passes through each section for it to be nice and straightened.

I use it on 80% dry hair and I have no issues with my hair not straightening or drying properly. It honestly helps when you don’t have a lot of time but need your hair to look good. Lastly, the device feels of great and quality material and I look forward to continue use with incorporating it into my daily routine!.

I used to think that metal plates + heat = straightener. The brand didn’t matter. I got my 1st Chi seven or eight years ago and that all changed. With other straighteners. even those from the beauty supply stores.

I have to run it over my wavy hair multiple times to get it straight. With Chi, it’s one pass and done. I don’t know what makes Chi different but it is. Maybe it has to do with heat distribution. I don’t really even care.

I just know that it works. My hair is healthy despite daily use (Chi Iron Guard is great btw) and I straighten my hair in one-third of the time. If you have waves or curls, invest in a good straightener to keep your hair healthy and to save time.

The “original” is a good price and worth every penny. (My old Chi still works! Unfortunately, I didn’t take care of it so there is a lot of baked on product on the plates. I’ve traveled with it, dropped it many times and who knows what my teen has done to it when she used it but it still works.

Keep your plates clean and it will last many years. ).

I have extra thick, extra course hair. This brand of flat iron was recommended to me by my hairdresser. The advertisement for this product says ‘Extra long plates’. They ARE NOT. They are the 3 1/2” shorter plates.

I am returning this item and trying again.

New favorite hair straightener! Just broke my last one and bought this on a whim and it works so well! I have really thick curly frizzy hair and this straightens it pretty perfectly in one pass, two passes makes my hair so straight! Easy to use and doesn’t pull my hair out as much as other flat irons do.

I received this straightener as a gift many years ago and it was the best I had used, it last me about 8 years and I was sad when it died. I bought a cheaper straightener and never liked it as much as the Babyliss and it only lasted a few years.

I decided to get another of Babyliss and I’m so glad I did! It straightens my hair beautifully and leaves it smoother than air drying!.

Heats up fast, quick, easy use. Bought this as a replacement flat iron for my daughter. She had one and the puppy chewed the cord. We have used many flat irons between the two of us over the years, and this one is far superior, has a wide flat iron that passes through hair easily, and makes styling very fast.

My daughter can get her long, thick, hair done in less than 5 minutes. It does get very hot and we have thick hair. so just be careful if you have thin hair, may need to turn it down a bit. We use on highest setting.

I’ve always used a Remington hair straightener, and after 10 years of my old one finally going out on me; I purchased this. Although it straightens my hair very well; it definitely fried my hair. I’ve even turned it down to the lowest setting.

I have just a little bit of wave in my hair and like to use irons just to make my hair look sleek. As much as I love this iron and I love the brand; beware because these new irons can really ruin your hair.

The great thing about it is that it has a 5-year warranty, and it costs a fraction of what other brands cost.

It would actually be a decent flat iron without steam but since its supposed to be a steam flat iron I’ll be frank. The steam doesnt actually touch your hair to make it straight. I tested this flat iron alongside my Chi flat iron and the you couldnt tell which side I used which iron on.

It was a cute concept but the execution sucked.

It works very fast and does straighten the hair. However, mine leaves a few drops of water on my hair now and then. Im not sure if Im doing something or not to cause this. Overall, it is a good investment.

This is the best flat iron I have ever used. Works much better than my CHI. I think, for my hair, the steam makes all the difference. Completely straight in one pass.

This is my first time using a steam straightener so I wasn’t sure if my hair would accept this type of straightening because I have naturally wavy hair and I was afraid it would make it frizzy or curly.

But after doing a little research, l found out that the main culprit of frizz is actually a lack of moisture in your hair. This straightener releases just the right amount of steam to help maintain a higher level of moisture in your hair shaft as you pass the tool over your hair without leaving it wet.

It gives me pin straight hair, without looking flat and lifeless. I find that the steam facilitates more even heat distribution, which really cuts down on straightening time. I have long fine hair and one pass gets my hair totally curl-free.

It takes me less than 20 min to straighten my hair and it lasts me perfectly for days even in humidity. It comes with an integrated comb that can be taken out, but I prefer to use it with a comb because I like how it separates my hair and helps keep it in place so each hair gets perfectly straight.

It’s a bit bulkier than a regular straightener making it a little more difficult to get a consistent wave when you use it as a waver, especially if you have short hair. There is a cold protective barrier that prevents you from getting too close to the roots, but this is not an issue for me as my hair is mostly straight at the roots.

Plates are smooth and flexible and I find that they provide closer contact between the plates when the iron is closed, so you don’t have to make several more passes on your hair than necessary. Also, I love the long cord because it makes it easy to hold and use.

I bought this straightner with high hopes that my curly thick coarse hair can be straightned into sleek smooth and shiny mane with less damage. Not sure how it is working for others and how genuine all the youtube videos are, but for my hair it’s causing more damage by pulling the hair all the time.

The plates are 1 inch but there is a casing around these plates for the steam to pass through. The hair is getting stuck on that casing and breaking the hair. Tried removing the comb and using it but still the same issue.

I could see the hair breaking. Immediately switched to my previous straightner to finish styling and took the steampod back to the store. The staff member tried it on my hair which has already been straightned before I stepped out and obviously it was gliding without pulling.

Also the section was straightened without going much closer to the roots. So apparently it’s something that is not an issue with the product so cannot be returned or exchanged. I have requested them to wet a section of the hair, dry it and then try the steampod on curly hair to see how hair is pulled out but I got the answers that you have to section and straighten the hair and that the hair should be completely dry.

I have been straightning my hair for years and know how to work with a flat iron. Such a disappointing experience. After you save money hoping to get something better for yourself but purchasing a much worse product that is causing more damage.

Have to be stuck with it because of terms and conditions without regard for customer experience. Money down the drain.

This straightener got my hair caught in it and it does not clamp down hard enough to straighten hair properly. I had to squeeze the straightener quite hard and by the end, my hand hurt and my hair still had kinks in it.

When I tried to return the product, the site said there was an error and Sally’s customer service was not helpful. Now I’m stuck with a poor straightener. I should have just thrown my money in the trash!.

LOVE this flat iron! Heats up in 30 seconds, temperature adjustment, nice and slender! This has to be by far one of the best flat irons I’ve purchased. AND you can’t beat the price!!

I love love LOVE this iron. My moms-n-law gave them to me as a Christmas gift. It was right after I broke my Chi irons, it was my go to for silk presses. Well, now it is this. Smooth results. Would recommend them to others.

I bought this because I was looking for an alternative to the multiple layers of heat required by the keratin treatment. Keratin treatment not only requires blow drying before I put the treatment, but because the liquid itself makes the hair feel a bit damp, I would need to dry again a bit more to avoid the horrendous damage that comes with flat ironing damp hair, especially at the keratin-requested temperature of 450 degrees! Yes, I have thick frizzy hair.

So i decided to skip the entire blow drying, air-dry it instead, put the treatment and go straight for this wet to dry iron. I fell in love!!! First the steaming holes facilitated the steam-release that the keratin naturally requires.

Second, it did not require more pass through than my usual iron on already blow-dried hair. Third the fact that it did not reach 450 degrees did not minimize the results; in fact the results were better than I’ve ever had !!!! It was straighter, suppler and shinier than it ever was with my previous much more expensive high heat flat iron!!! Before my hair would show friz on the second day, even after paying over $100 for a professional to do my keratin treatment! But not this time.

My hair felt and looked healthier, in fact someone literally asked me if it was a wig, it looked so good it seemed fake. Also, before there was a white film on my hair after the first treatment, making the hair feel stiff, a bit sticky and dull; but with the Remington, that wasn’t the case: it was soft, with movement and shine; 2 dropps ofmy usual combing dry oil and I did not feel the need to wash my hair the day after the treatment; instead, waited aa week and i could have waited longer- it looked fabulous throughout.

I’ve been treating my hair for almost 10 years, this is the best post keratin results i have ever experienced, and it is all thanks to the Remington. I believe these steam holes are the best things to happen to a keratin treatment.

Love it, love it! As for the technical part: delivery was on time, and i love the fact the blinking light has a specific color to let you know when to use on damp hair, and when to use on dry hair. Make sure you follow the indication; online has a quick, very short and straightforward instruction manual, it is worth the 2 minutes of read.

That indicator became helpful when i wanted to do a touch up. I’m actually going to also buy the larger one; I’m never buying another iron, THIS IS IT.

Best flat iron ever!! I’ve had a few through the years. I didn’t think one brand could really be different from another, but I was wrong! This “wet to dry” one really takes any residual moisture out of your hair and keeps it from frizzing or curling up after using.

NOTE. I do not use it on wet hair. I do use a hair dryer to dry it, and it’s usually frizzy, curly and wild after I do. However, this Remington works a nice smooth, flat miracle on it. The plates come together nicely, no gaps.

Closing and using the flat iron is very easy on my arthritic hands. Very happy!.

This straightener is the absolute best for my thin, fine hair. I had one for years at the recommendation of my stylist. Eventually it needed to be replaced (8ish years in) and I went with a different high end, salon quality, straightener.

I just kept missing this Paul Mitchell flat iron so I gave in and repurchased it. The temperature control is fantastic and it takes just one quick pass to straighten and smooth my hair. My hair looks and feels healthier and I can actually keep the temperature much lower with this flat iron and get better results.

I also love that this straightener adjusts in 10 degree increments. It is dual voltage, so I can use it when I travel as well. For reference, I use this iron at 270 degrees.

I could not be happier with this product! I spent an OBSESSIVE amount of time watching and reading reviews between the bio ionic, GHD, and T3 and finally took the plunge on the one pass bio ionic. I have dry, frizzy, and coarse hair and this tool does the trick every time.

My ends don’t look ragged anymore and there is crazy shine and bounce. In fairness i always prep my hair with a heat protectant and usually round brush it on days when I’m feeling ambitious, but even when i use it on my natural hair it does not disappoint.

Bio ionic allows the temperature to be adjusted so you don’t have to go full heat on days you just need a touch up. Again, couldn’t be happier!.

I am a beginner in hair styling and it has been an easy experience with this straightener. It heats up very quickly and my hair is straightened in about 10 minutes. The plates are quite big and that makes it difficult to use on short back hair.

I take help from a friend for that as I don’t want to scald back of my neck by mistake. For long hair, this should not be a problem. I personally love the combs attached. I do comb my hair before I use the straightener.

Hair does remain shiny. Basic manual is straightforward. Only thing is that steam function doesn’t seem to work all the time. I have checked that there is water in the reservoir. I think it is because of the angle at which the product is held.

It would have been nice if the manual mentioned which angles are needed for steam to work if that is the case. Overall, I love this straightener.

Just purchased good product! Styles nicely even at lowest temperature so less damage for the hair.

I already had a Steampod and now wanted to try this model. But I find it not really good. Too little steam and it tears at the hair.
