What is the difference between ceramic and titanium plates?

Ceramic plates distribute heat evenly and are often a suitable choice for fine, fragile or damaged hair.

Titanium plates heat up quickly and transfer heat efficiently. They are often used for thick, coarse hair and professional styling.

The best choice depends on your hair type and styling needs. With either material, use the lowest effective temperature and a heat protectant to help reduce heat damage.

For curling irons, ceramic and titanium refer to the heated barrel rather than plates.
