Never heard of the Jinri brand? Us neither, until we tried out this nifty little hairdryer. And we liked what we found. It handily comes with three attachments, meaning you can dry your hair in four different ways. It performs its job extra-fast and extra-well. Have a read of our full review and consider investing in a Jinri dryer today!

Although it’s a slightly lesser powerful model at 1875 watts (other dryers we’ve reviewed tend to be 2000 watts), this isn’t noticeable. It’s fast drying, infused with far-infrared, tourmaline, and ionic technology, and dries hair as well as the next product. These different technologies ensure your hair is defended from some of the harsher effects of drying and heat exposure. The combination of tourmaline ion technology, which makes for a frizz-free finished product, and far-infrared waves which penetrate hair for a more effective dry, equal a smooth and shiny blow dry.

Fahrenheit Heat Wave Flat Iron

5.0/5.0
Looks / Appearance 5.0 / 5.0
Ease of use 5.0 / 5.0
Functionality 5.0 / 5.0

Pros

  • – Ultra fast heating time
  • – Precision heat control settings
  • – Advanced technology built-in
  • – Non-slip grip rubber outer material
  • – Beveled plates

Cons

  • – Upper end of budget
  • – Rubber casing can prevent use as a curler

The Fahrenheit Heat Wave flat iron comes in a number of jazzy colors to choose from, and is billed as Fahrenheit’s ‘high-end’ straightener line. This is because of the ionic and far-infrared technology built into the 100% ceramic plates, and that it’s optimized for multi-styling.

The Heat Wave model comes with 100% ceramic plates – not just cheap ceramic coating like other brands routinely use – ensuring smooth heat distribution. They heat up evenly and quickly, meaning you spend less time going over the same strands of hair, and therefore subjecting your locks to less heat damage. Flat irons with ceramic coating are also likely to lose the coating over time; but full ceramic plates will stay intact for years.

Many flat irons have plates that are made from titanium – an incredibly strong (though light) metal that can that reach high temperatures in a very short amount of time. Titanium plates are recommended for users with thick, more coarse hair, and people with thinner, more delicate hair are not advised to use them as they can cause damage.
