When you purchase hair straighteners from China. You finally narrowed your lists of hair straightener manufacturers, at least you need to compare them from quality/service/price among them to choose the one that is standing out. Quality- you or your engineer can compare from the samples, and service- you must be very professional to tell by feeling the attitude of the salesman by chatting. But how about the price? You may take it as the simplest one as data can tell easily from the number of prices. But is that really so simple? A professional buyer in the hair straightener industry must have experienced this, 4 or 5 quotation sheets from different Chinese hair straightener manufacturers, the details are different. It is certain that in each quotation there are product pictures, price, MOQ, lead time, terms of payment, but if looking down to the quotation sheet carefully, you may find that specifications, standards of QC, artworks, packaging there would be big differences and some of them just skipped this content. But these things hidden may matter much for your product even your brand or easily fall yourself into a trap in purchasing hair straighteners from your manufacturer. 1.Plate Mainly there are ceramic plates, aluminum plates, or titanium plates, the price may differ for purchasing. And the color is also the art you must concern about. For more information for plates, you can see: https://xiaoticlipper.com/hair-straightener-plates/ 2. Housing Material There are mainly ABS/Nylon/PET for choice, the cost is different, and for a hair

We know that mostly there are two kinds of heater or heating elements for hair straighteners/curling irons: PTC or MCH. What are the differences? What is the time for temperature warming up using PTC, MCH? For PTC, the highest temperature for it would be 290 Celsius degree but need 150 seconds to heat up to 230 Celsius degree and that’s the most brand name’s hair straighteners status. We could improve the time to 120 seconds. For MCH, the highest temperature can reach 800 Celsius degree. So it needs strict control for the PCB, once lost control, the heater will be too hot and cause danger! That’s why 90% of hair straighteners are using PTC. And the time needs 30 seconds to reach 230 Celsius degree. There’s a new heater from Japan. It can reach 230 Celsius degree in 10-12 seconds. Which applied in big brands like GHD.

Last month, one of my US customer (in hair tools and hair extensions) visited us and asked me this question. I just suggested her to choose ceramic if consider utility and to choose titanium or aluminum if consider outlook matching. Now let’s looked into this question more deeply: There are mainly 3 types of plates for hair straighteners: ceramic plates, titanium plates and aluminum plates coated with ceramic. As they are different in materials, so let’s go closely into it first. Ceramic Plates Ceramics are made by shaping water, earthen powders, and clay into forms, which are then fired at high temperatures. It’s a not a pure but a mixture of element depending on the clay. And the main element is aluminum oxide and silica. It’s very stable and not easily oxided or corroded. Aluminum Plates Aluminium is a silvery-white, lightweight metal. It is soft and malleable. It has a high thermal conductivity, has excellent corrosion resistance and can be easily cast, machined and formed. It is a very malleable and ductile metal. Aluminum Plates in fact is a mixture, mostly we will have ceramic coating on aluminum plates so that it will have a feature of a mix, metal inside and ceramic outside.  Titanium Plates Titanium is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, and high strength. Titanium is as strong as steel but much less densewhich is mainly used in aircraft, spacecraft and missiles because of their low density and ability to withstand extremes of temperature. Most of our tiatnium plates

When you decide to order hair from China hair straightener manufacturer, what should you consider first? Price, quality, and factory (stable quality and cooperation), and salesman should be all on your list. But there are more you should be noticed before deciding to place an order: 1.MOQ Few suppliers may give out gradient quotation. If you haven’t decide the quantity you need to order or the quantity may change, just require them to quote you the pricing basing on different quantities before making a decision. 2.Pricing Term Most applied is TT 30% deposit and rest before shipment which is easy and fair. And probably it’s not negotiatable as the risk prevention comes first before a business. 3.Delivery Time 25-55days from deposit and artwork confirmation, see if you are keen on that. 4.Delivery Term There are EXW, FOB, CIF price, and even DDP/DDU. EXW is the factory price, you should cover the cost for all delivery. Sometimes it is EXW Dongguan/EXW Shenzhen, which means the supplier can send to the warehouse place in Dongguan/Shenzhen for free. FOB means the supplier will cover the local delivery before the goods on flight/sea freight. CIF, you only need to pay for the duty and your local cost. DDP/DDU means the supplier will send the goods to your warehouse/place, you only need to pay the tax by DDP, and DDU, you just wait in your place. You can require your salesman to calculate the estimated cost till you get the product, a professional supplier must
