I turn it on before I get into the shower. Then it just runs keeping the mirror from fogging up. Ten minutes later it turns off.

You want to make sure the new switch can handle inductive loads. Here's one that will: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00313JXB0/
Get an in-wall timer and wire it to the lights, fan, and outlets:

This way, not only is it a permanent solution (better than cords and plugs exposed in a wet environment), it also helps both of you. Neither of you has to worry about a stuffy or moldy bathroom with fogged-up mirrors, because the fan stays on for a while after you leave the shower. You don't worry about her straightener staying on. And she doesn't have to fear the fumes after you take a dump.
Win-win!
(And I would steer away from buying her a new straightener. The frizziness or lasting straightness of her hair will subsequently be blamed on your straightener purchase. Offer to fund it, but let her pick out the one she wants or keep using her current one on the above timer if she doesn't want to change it.)
Should work, word of caution many of the digital timers require a neutral wire, otherwise you may need to get an analog one and be careful you are buying a timer specifically for a fan.
I've bought three of these for my house

Silicone spray would be safer, but I would instead replace it with one of these.
Timers switches are perfect for bathroom timers (and are code in some places.) People are much more likely to actually use the fan if it will turn itself off automatically, and using the fan is a Good Thing for minimizing mold/mildew in a bathroom.
This is the one I installed.
Didn't even think about this before! Do you know of any that have a regular switch for the light then a timer for the fan? The ones I can find just seem have one switch/timer.

I just put a timer switch in for my exhaust fan. I had 3 options in preset time configurations. Mine is 2, 5 10, 15 min. I think the others had a max time of 30 min and 60 min. My guess is you need to change the switch out. I thought the 15 min max would work for me. You start it on 15 min when you have the shower, and if you need more time after the shower, you can press the 15 min again to stat it over. 2 min is a good minimum time for most fan uses in the bathroom.
Here is the one I put in, except mine is in the time configuration I mentioned.
I think THIS is what u/tvtb wanted to link to.
These are pretty good
