Marcel Grateau invented heated tongs in the late 19th century that curled and waved hair, helping to create the Marcel wave hairstyle. Over time, this evolved into the modern hair straightener, which uses heat to quickly straighten hair without chemicals. Hair straighteners have become very popular tools and now come in many varieties, sizes, and price points. Characteristics like hair thickness and condition determine which straightener is best suited for a person's needs.
