Key Details
Titanium vs Ceramic -- Choosing the Right Plate
Ceramic plates heat evenly, distribute temperature smoothly, and are gentler on damaged or fine hair. Titanium plates heat faster, reach higher temperatures, and hold heat longer through thick sections -- but they are less forgiving if used at incorrect temperatures on fine hair. The choice should follow hair type. For fine, bleached, or frequently heat-styled hair: choose ceramic (GHD Platinum+ or Remington). For thick, coarse, or resistant hair that doesn't respond well to ceramic heat: choose titanium (BaBylissPRO). Using titanium on fine hair is not dangerous if the temperature is controlled -- it simply isn't necessary.
