The History Of Hair Straighteners

In 1882, Samuella Young used heated balls to straighten or style hair of all kinds. Adam Frisby (1852-1936), thaks to Samuella Young, was the inventor of the curling iron years later, in 1890. Before straighteners were really introduced into the market women in the 1960s a lot of the time used clothing irons to straighten waves and curls out of their hair or any parts of their hair that was sticking out. Patented a hair straightener in 1906 that combined 7 metallic teeth that were combed through the hair, while in 1909 Isaac K. Shero patented a hair straightener combined with two flat irons that are heated and pressed together. However, the development of the most modern hair straightener was brought in by a Scottish heiress Lady Jennifer Bell Schofield, who combined previous efforts into a hinged, two-plated heated iron in 1912.
Years onwards, Sharrell invented heated metal hair-care implements, such as hot combs or heated combs. The hot metal straightener slid easily through the hair, helping hair to be less damage and dry than previously-used techniques. Later, ceramic and electrical straighteners were brought into the market, allowing for adjustment of heat settings and straightener size.
