NuMe Megastar X for $169: This sleek matte-black straightener features wide 1.75-inch plates and resembles the Amika Confidante and Sutra with its infrared technology, but utilizes tourmaline ceramic plates rather than titanium. It excelled in providing shine, but required a minimum of four passes to tame a section of my hair. While this might suit easier-to-straighten textures, you’d be better served by the T3 SinglePass Smooth X (Best for Fine Hair, noted above), which has comparable pricing and features T3’s exclusive heat precision technology. Additionally, the T3 is easier to handle due to its longer, narrower plates.
