Hair straighteners

If you talk to hairdressers about the best straightening irons then you expect to hear names like GHD and Cloud Nine, but Corioliss also make a decent range of hair straighteners and their very competitive price certainly makes them a worthwhile brand. worth considering. Corioliss has been on the market since 2002, so it has almost 10 years of experience in the industry. The C1, C2, and C3 models of hair straighteners are full-size and come with 1-inch plates. Corioliss also makes a mini version called the Baby SXE. So whether you’re looking to upgrade your current straighteners, buy some for a loved one, or want to straighten your hair for the time being, read on to understand more about this lesser-known brand.

Corioliss C1 vs. C2

If price is your biggest concern, the first thing to note is that the C1 is about half the price of the Corioliss C2. Other than that, these 2 Corioliss plates share many qualities. With titanium plates and a variable temperature control, you have the flexibility to use the appropriate heat for your specific hair type. However, note that the C1 heats to 230°C while the C2 only heats to 210°C, although this temperature should be sufficient for most people’s needs. The C2 also reaches that top temperature in a super-quick 20 seconds. The Corioliss C2 has a remote digital display on the cord to change and view heat settings, unlike the C1 which has it on the main body of the iron. To reduce the dreaded frizz Corioliss uses Negative Ion technology in all its irons that combat the positive ions that cause static. They also use something called far-infrared technology, which is a slightly different way of gently internally heating your hair so it doesn’t do as much damage when straightening it. Finally, the last thing the Corioliss C2 has that the C1 doesn’t is an automatic sleep mode that kicks in after 30 minutes, making your irons safe if you forget to turn them off.

Corioliss C3

Corioliss C3s are the most expensive model they make. The added benefit of these is that they come with extra long floating titanium plates. This can really help cut down on the time it takes to style your hair and is great if you have long or very thick hair. With plates that come almost to the edge of the irons, Corioliss irons are among the best for allowing you to get closer to the root of the hair, thereby achieving that sleek, professional finish.

Men these days are combing their hair more and more, so even people with short hair can benefit from using straightening irons. If you fall into this category but want someone small and light, then the Corioliss Baby SXE iron might be what you’re looking for. At just 20cm long and weighing just 120g, they’re easy to use and fit in your bag if you’re looking for portable irons. The plates are still titanium with negative ion technology, but with the dual circuitry you can travel anywhere with these straighteners.

A rainbow of colors!

It’s the colors that really make Corioliss plates come alive. If your bank balance allows it, for around £400 you can pocket some scintillating delight in the form of the Corioliss C2 Crystal. This is shining all over the place and I’m sure there are some WAGS out there with this one on their dresser. If you’re looking for something a bit more subtle, then the C2 in Midas Gold is perhaps a little more elegant and sophisticated, or why not go really funky with the purple zebra or red leopard? For those looking for a slightly more traditional color scheme, it’s worth noting that each model also comes in black.

Should you spend your money?

In response to whether they are worth the money, my conclusion is that they are. At around £50 the C1 gives you a very good quality straightening iron, but the Corioliss C2 seems to have it all and would be my top pick.
