Hair iron? Is that another name for hair straigtheners?
idk what it’s called. it’s got two flat metal plates that get hot. and u put ur hair through it …
Curling iron or hair straightener are the two terms I know for those things.

Aren’t those two different pieces of equipment? (Or at least two different parts you swap in a very basic piece of equipment?)

Those are two completely opposite changes, and the format the iron would have to have for each seems completely incompatible.

Yeah, curling iron is a tube with a curved plate that wraps part way around it.

Straightener is two flat plates.

If you use a curling iron backwards, you burn your hands
