Brief history
One of the very first implements to straighten hair was called the straightening comb. There appears to be some confusion about who actually invented it as this initially was attributed to Madam Walker way back in 1905. However, this is NOT true. She was responsible for producing many hair care products and in fact she was the first self made female millionaire in the USA. Although she did not invent the straightening comb she did popularize its use amongst black women who she taught how to use the device. There is much evidence to suggest that straightening combs, hot irons were available as far back as 1872. And it was around this time a person called Marcel Grateau (a Parisian) who started using heated rods to straighten hair. This tool helped straighten the hair and caused less damage than other hair straightening techniques.
Heated combs were also used throughout the early days. The comb was placed in a special warming device until heated to the right temperature and then pulled through the hair. I've read many a story about these early straighteners and my mom remembers many an hour spent in her kitchen surrounded by the smell of burnt hair and scalp. Thank god for the Sedu ceramic. Since the 1870's the use of different metals and materials have been tried and tested. Aluminium was used on early straighteners and metal was obviously used along the way too. Nowadays most manufacturers, like Sedu, use ceramic and tourmaline which give great results. I'm sure the next generation of hair straightener will be made from even more weird and wonderful materials. How's about Kryptonite?

it depends on how your hair is you hair might get more curls or it might get straighter.

I recommend a straighter that is Hot
It moisturizes your hair. This can make it easier to get waves,curls, or even straighter hair.
