Detailed Description of the L’angetm flat iron:
Materials of the L’angetm Flat Iron:
The flat iron has two silicone clamps that connect together at the bottom in order to let the clamps open and close. At the top end of the clamps there are ridges to aid in the grasp of the clamps when straightening hair. On the top clamp towards the bottom end there is a metal plate that functions in the use of gripping the handle better. while on the bottom clamp there is a little LED screen indicating the temperature of the metal plates on in the inside. At the very end of the two clamps is an electrical wire attached to run power to turn on the flat iron.
As far as the internal parts, each clamp has a metal plate on the inside. These metal plates heat up when turned on and when pressed together with hair in the middle, they make any hair straight. On the bottom clamp under the metal plate there is an LED light. This light indicates when the flat iron is on and when it is ready to be used. When the flat iron is initially turned on the light is red meaning not ready to use. After a minute the light will turn green when it is at the set temperature. Underneath of the LED light are three buttons. The first button has an arrow pointing upward, when pressed the temperature will go up to 450°f. The middle is the power button which will turn on the iron when pressed. The last button has an arrow pointing downward, when pressed it will turn down the temperature to 0°f if needed.
