PYT Flat Iron Review
So it has been a little over three months since I have been using the PYT flat iron and it is still going strong and doing a great job. Like I said before, I am someone who has a lot of bad days and uses this flat iron quite often, in fact at least twice or thrice every week.
The hard case box that this device comes in is neat and keeps the device safe from external damage. Also, I like the sleek appearance of this product as well.
I really like that this product comes with a variable temperature range of 140 – 450°F, wherein you can adjust the temperature as per your hair type. So, since my hair is of medium thickness, but relatively frizzy, I make sure to use this device on medium heat.
The 1.25 inch ceramic plates are amazing because they glide through my hair perfectly and do not cause any snagging during the hair styling process and make my hair look smooth and silky after the hair styling process has been completed. It really gives the hair a “professional” look.
The size is great for both medium to short hair.
The fact that this device supports dual voltages is one of the best features for me personally because as a frequent traveler, I do not need to carry a converter, but can still use this device on all my travels hassle-free.
Next, I really liked that the length of this cord is 8 feet which makes it super convenient for using this device even when there is no electrical socket nearby!
The cord reaches a good length and with its 360° swivel feature, I can use it the way I wish to, while styling my hair, without any worry of it tangling up.
So far, I have used this product for hair straightening and for beachy waves and they turned out perfect!
I paid a price of $77, which I felt was relatively reasonable or maybe because I got it for a discounted rate when I bought it off of Amazon (the actual price being $120).
Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a travel-friendly and user-friendly versatile product for hair styling.
The product claims to have:
Product Specifications

Product Functional Design and Performance
Appearance:
As for the appearance of this product, well, it comes neatly packed in a PYT hard case box which ensures safety from damage to the product.
The device has an ergonomic design and is sleek and also comes with an on/off power button along with a knob which rotates to control the temperature.

The product comes with a variable temperature range of 140 – 450°F, wherein you can adjust the temperature as per your hair type. So this is something that comes in handy because it suits people with all hair types, be it thick, thin or even voluminous hair.
This product supports dual voltage and supports 150W power, so this device can be used universally without any converters.
According to this study done in 2006 by the Emergency Medicine Journal, hair straighteners are responsible for contact burns. So a variable temperature range and ceramic plate design that doesn’t heat up to much, helps this PYT flat iron be extra safe.
Size and type of plates:
This device comes with 1.25 inch ceramic plates. The material ceramic is a one of the best materials to use for plates of flat irons because they can glide smoothly on the hair without tugging on the hair strands and can also cause much lesser damage to the hair because of the heat.
Type of cord:
One of the best uses of a long cord is that it can be used even when the power source is at a distance.
The length of the cord is 8 feet and has a swivel feature wherein you can use it without it tangling because the swivel cord rotates 360° along with every movement of the wrist.

How to use the PYT Flat Iron
Using the PYT flat iron is simple and is no different than using any other hair straightening device. It is super convenient to use even for first time users.
Here are a few tips that I will share with you after I’ve used it over the past three months.
For straightening the hair:
To straighten the hair, you can start off with sectioning your hair into 6 to 8 sections to make it easier to work with and get your hair straightened out evenly.
So after clipping up each section, then starting off at the roots, clamp down the straightener for a few seconds and then gently exerting sufficient pressure, you can glide the straightener down the length of your hair until you reach the tips.
You can unclip and work on one section at a time. You may also need to go over the same section a second time for the hair to get straightened perfectly.
For curling the hair/creating waves:
To use this device to curl your hair or get waves, again section out your hair and working with each section, you will have to clamp down the device at the section of your hair where you want the curl/wave to start.
And then gently wrap the hair around the device and hold it in that position for a few sections, before gently gliding it downwards along the length of your hair in order to form the curl/wave.
Once you’ve released the flat iron from the hair, you can simply wrap the hair around your finger and gently pull your finger away from your hair to let the curl form perfectly.
Here’s a general tip: Whenever you are using a heat styling tool on your hair, make sure to use a good quality heat protectant spray on your hair before starting off with the styling process to avoid any major damage to the hair because of the heat.

Is The PYT Ceramic Pro Hair Straightener Good For Curly Hair?
The PYT Ceramic Pro Hair Straightener can be effective for curly hair, depending on individual preferences and hair types. Ceramic plates are generally preferred for straighteners as they distribute heat evenly, reducing the risk of heat damage.
However, the effectiveness of the straightener on curly hair may vary based on factors such as hair texture, thickness, and desired styling results.
Many users with curly hair find that ceramic straighteners like the PYT Ceramic Pro can help tame frizz and achieve sleek, straight styles with relative ease.
It’s crucial to use heat protectant products and follow proper styling techniques to minimize damage and maximize results, ensuring that the straightener works well for your specific hair type and needs.
