Have you ever experienced getting wrapped up around your flat iron cord? Or back-breaking your body just to access a certain area of your hair where the rope did not reach. Given the current improvements in the beauty business, you shouldn’t have to stand in front of your socket station for half an hour to get your hair styled. So, what is the most relatively new invention? Hair straighteners with no cord. 

With companies like Dyson, GHD, and Babyliss abandoning the good ole 5 metre cords, we’re beginning to see more manufacturers jump on board, implying that cord-free straighteners are the new vibes. All you need is your flat iron, very stable hands and a mirror—now you’re set to fashion your hair in whatever style you desire. Anytime, anywhere. 

From sitting behind the taxi to standing in the kitchen waiting for your breakfast to cook – and since travel restrictions are gradually relaxed and the chances of a short vacation are increasing, the compact cordless straightener is much more suitable for travel than the previous version. It’s literally every girl’s dream! 

To help you pick out the best and trustable hair straighteners, Beauty Insider have put together the best cordless straighteners currently available in Singapore. Now throw those tangled wires into the bin.

How To Choose A Cordless Hair Straightener

1. Charging Time

You should constantly examine how long it’d take to thoroughly charge the battery of a wireless hair straightener. This is due to the fact that you should never utilise your portable flat iron through the heating process. It is also impractical to wait several hours for the device to fully charge. However, keep in mind that the time it takes a battery to reach full capacity is approximately equal to its mAh – the more robust a battery, the longer it takes to charge. 

2. Weight 

This is an obvious choice. A wireless hair straightener is obviously ideal for travelling or obviously taking around in your handbag if you require frequent hair styling. So opt for a compact cordless hair straightener.

3. Heat Settings

It is always preferable to use a cordless flat iron with different heat settings. This is quite beneficial since you may control the straightener per your hair’s needs and even adjust the power level as needed. Another useful feature is a monitoring indicator that displays the heat that you have chosen.
