agree  Evans (X): the young women of my acquaintance (in the UK) who currently mistreat their hair with these devices all call them "hair straighteners".

Hair iron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
A hair iron or hair tong is a tool used to change the structure of the hair using heat. There are three general kinds: curling irons, used to make the hair curly, straightening irons, commonly called straighteners or flat irons, used to straighten the hair, and crimping irons, used to create crimps of the desired size in the hair. Some models have electric heating.

flat iron


Explanation:
Although hair iron is a general term which can cover curling irons, hair straigteners, or crimping irons, plancha, when referring to hair, usually refers to a flat iron which is probably the most common term used in English.
