My Review Thoughts on Bio Ionic 10X Flat Iron

The vibrating plates of Bio Ionic 10X is what really sets this flat iron apart from the rest. What the vibrating plates do is create more surface contact with strands of hair for faster and safer styling. The vibrating plates make it so that you don’t have to keep going over sections of hair and make Bio Ionic 10X a true one-pass flat iron. You do have the option of turning the vibration off, but, in my experience, this results in having to go over sections multiple times.

I also appreciate how versatile Bio Ionic 10X is. Not only does it perfectly straighten my hair, but it has rounded plates that allow easy waving and curling, too. Whether you’re waving, curling, or straightening, the rounded plates give crease-free results. The straightener doesn’t dull hair either. My hair always likes shiny and healthy when I use this tool.

There’s honestly not much I don’t love about this hair straightener. It’s a solid option that is easy to use and delivers excellent results with each use, making it a great option for both pro and novice users. Though it is on the pricier side, you’re paying for the technology and hair safety. If I did have to complain about anything, it would be that Bio Ionic 10X could have more heat settings. The temperature control only allows you to use 20°F increments, while most other hair tools have 10°F increments. The 9 ft cord is a great touch especially for professionals, even though it’s a bit bulky for travel.

If there is one thing to take away from Bio Ionic 10X Flat Iron Review, it’s a true, if not the only, one pass flat iron.

Dyson Corrale vs Bio Ionic

My favorite hair straightening tool is the Dyson Corrale. Dyson is known for their innovation and technology, and the Corrale is no different. What sets this one apart from others is its cordless design and flexible plates that keep hair together as you style. It also creates excellent, consistent results to include straight, wavy, or curly. Corrale has a max temperature of 410°F and intelligent heat control to continuously measure the temperature to avoid heat spikes. Even though, one thing to mention, Dyson still has issues with battery life just like on all their products. The fact is battery technology is still trying to catch up with the demands of this world.

If Bio Ionic 10X ($239) or Dyson Corrale ($499) are out of your price range, my favorite value flat iron is the Kristin Ess 3-in-1. This one retails for $90 and, for the price, provides pretty great results. It features alloy titanium and gold metal for fast heating, and the plates adjust to hair texture to cover more surface area at a time. The temperature goes up to 440°F and has 4 heat settings for customizable styling.
