Abstract: An iron for straightening curly hairs includes a handle, a rod support mounted on the handle, a pair of first and second electrically heatable rods mounted at one end to the rod support and extending parallel to each other in spaced relationship, a rod moving plate pivotably mounted on the rod support, and a third electrically heatable rod rotatably mounted at one end on the rod moving plate and extending parallel to the first and second rods. The third rod is movable between a first position between the first and second rods and a second position away from the first and second rods in response to pivotal movement of the rod moving plate.
