hair straightener

Heat-based smoothing tool

A hair straightener is a handheld styling tool with heated plates that clamp together to smooth curly or wavy hair into a sleeker, straighter form.

Also called a flat iron.

The plates, typically ceramic or titanium, press sections of hair while heat temporarily alters its structure: She ran the straightener through her hair before the interview.
