is this really serious? can i still use it? or should i replace it asap? will it be really bad for my hair if i continue to use it? thanks everyone!!
replace it ASAP. it's most likely that the straightener is not full ceramic metal, but rather the cheap kind that makes your hair look horrible Most ceramic flat irons on the market use plates that are made of aluminum or titanium, then coated with several baked on layers of ceramic. Even high end, professional ceramic flat irons use this technique (they may have more ceramic layers). That's because pure ceramic is much softer than metal-reinforced ceramic - easier to crack during manufacturing (or with rough use). However, with prolonged use, ceramic coating can peel or chip, exposing the metal below and causing the plates to heat unevenly or damage hair.
I think its time for a new flat iron. Are you flat ironing daily? If so, buy a pricier flat iron like a CHI or a Cricket. Dont just go buy one from walmart or target keep your hair safe and healthy!
Thats weird, that usually wont happen unless its good quality, or it never happens if its real ceramic! Get a new one!
