Full Review

The Amazon listing for the Izutech Ktx 450 Titanium Digital Flat Iron boasts that this product heals and hydrates hair that has sustained damage by years of styling. While we’re not sure that a heated straightener could HEAL your damaged hair, this product certainly has a go at being a kinder styling tool to your locks than others.

Durable Titanium

Titanium plates make this a strong, durable product. Titanium evenly heats up, so using this tool won’t leave your hair patchily straightened due to high and dull heat patches in the plates. This ensures less heat exposure to the hair; as you should only need to pass the plates over each section once to achieve full straightness. In addition, there’s no gimmicky ‘coating’ on the plates, which erodes pretty quickly and leaves the plates looking tacky and can create uneven heat spots. These plates are just 100% pure titanium – meaning they’ll last years and never lose function. On this front, this product is a 5-star investment.

Bear in mind that titanium is an unparalleled heat conductor – it reaches high temperatures very quickly. Make sure you reduce the heat setting to the lowest temperature that straightens your hair, to prevent unnecessary harm to the delicate outer layer of your hair. Burning this too much is what causes brittleness, and dry and split ends.

Smart Features

A great feature of this product is its smart heat sensors, which maintain even heat distribution across the plates for smoother, cleaner use. The clever sensors and pure titanium material built into this tool help your hair retain elasticity, helping you achieve that TV-ad ‘swish’ that all hair commercials show. For healthy hair for longer, always use a heat protection product when styling with heat. Despite this feature, make sure you manually reduce the heat, and don’t place your trust in this (admittedly cool) feature too much. The quality of your hair depends on it!

It seems that this product doesn’t feature the precise heat controls that other straighteners do, which is really the only point against its name when considering which tool to splash out on. Where it might lose a few points in this area, the Izutech Ktx 450 claws them back with its timeless looks, durability and clever functionality.

Automatic Shutdown

Another positive feature of this straightener is that it automatically shuts down after 60 minutes when it detects it’s not being used. This will ensure increased peace of mind for girls all over the world – we’re all acquainted with the heart-sinking pang of wondering if we’ve left our straighteners on full-heat on our bedroom floors. With the Izutech Ktx 450, this unpleasant feeling is a thing of the past.

Style & Aesthetic

The polished aesthetic of this flat iron makes it a superb tool for anyone’s style and décor – it’ll blend in perfectly with your existing styling products and look amazing featured in your ‘shelfies’ and Instagram flat-lays.

As well as looking great, the softened, blended edges of the plates make it usable as a curling iron as well as a straightener. The 1.25” plate width creates relaxed curls or beachy waves in an instant. This multi-use tool allows anyone to create salon-perfect hairstyles at home, while looking slick on your dressing table.
