Metal plated hair straightener gives out uneven heat that tends to damage the hair. If a person were to continually use a metal  plated hair straightener, it will eventually make it brittle and dry and it may even cause the hair to break off or fall off depending on the gravity of the situation. 

Ceramic hair straighteners are different though as it gives out thermal heat evenly. Evenly distributed heat makes it easy for the person to style the hair. The evenly distributed heat coming from the ceramic hair straightener gives protection to the hair because it tends to seal in the moisture, the oil and the hair color. 

It is very easy to use too as you just have to glide it through the hair.  Unlike the metal plated ones where you have to wait for the plates to heat up. The ceramic hair straightener heats up immediately.  It is compact, thin, light and user friendly.
