Ceramic Plates
Most ceramic hair straighteners have ceramic coated plates to give a non-stick smooth surface. The plates are usually made of aluminum for fast heat transfer. Straighteners that are sometimes referred to as "solid(100% coated) ceramic plates" are in fact straighteners with high performance ceramic elements. The true ceramic heating technology uses ceramic element, which can reach as high as 450 degrees Fahrenheit within seconds, and then stay at the exact operating temperature.

Ion Technology
An ion is an atom or group of atoms which have lost or gained one or more electrons. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged ions are called anions. Negative ions are used in ion therapy which utilizes a special electronic device that generates negatively charged particles. The purpose of this application is that there may be some health benefit to a negatively charged environment, opposed to one that is positively charged.
