which hair straightener should i get? Options

[princessx143]

i currently use a conair straightener i got from walmart for like twenty bucks. i'd love my hair to be pin straight & my conair doesnt really do that for me. (when it does, it only stays straight for an hour..) so one of my friends suggested folica.com so i was there for a couple of hours & im stuck between these two:

http://www.folica.com/CHI_Ceramic_Fla_d1.html
http://www.folica.com/Solia_Pink_Limi_d2161.html

which one would you guys suggest? the solia pink limited edition one has four and a half stars while the chi one just has four. i like the second one because its pink x] & it has more stars. i like the chi one because.. well.. ive heard that chis are good? and yeah. which one would keep my hair pin straight?

i use the chi's iron guard & chi's silk infusion when i straighten my hair. i have long-ish hair (probably halfway down my back) and its thin (or maybe in-between) haha.

My friend recommends GHD as the best, as it's what many hair stylists recommend. Not too sure since I haven't asked anyone else about it, but she uses it and got it when she was still going to beauty school.

I have a Chi Nano from 2006 and a T3 Tourmaline (I think it's from 2006 also?) that my sister gave to me since she didn't want to bring it with her when she left.

The T3 straightener works really well because you can change the heat (max 410 Fahrenheit). However, I still prefer the Chi because I feel that it straightens my hair more evenly and my hair feels smoother. There is no temperature adjustment switch on it, so IDK how hot it gets. I would say it takes about ~10 seconds to heat up the Chi and ~5 seconds for the T3, since the T3 gets a lot hotter anyway.

Make sure you're not straightening a bunch of hair at once. To get pin-straight hair, take only 1-inch sections of hair and straighten them one at a time. It may take longer, but you'll get the effect that you want, plus you won't snag any hair.

I use Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. I think it works the same as the Chi Silk Infusion.
