Put simply, the form factor of the Air Plates Compact is the biggest selling point – but also their biggest downfall.

The Good Thanks to the suspended plates heat is directed away from the outer casing allowing you to grip the straightener for ultimate control and ease. Curling isn’t quite as effective, but it is at least possible with some perseverance.
