which type do you like?, straightening irons Options

[picaso_smile]

I'm looking to buy a new straightener... my hair is pretty fine and not really that curly, soooo I don't need a Chi or anything. But I'm wondering what you guys could reccomend for up to 60 dollars?

i have really thick, curly hair..and i know people will disagree with me on this one, but there is this one specific flat iron from conair believe it or not, that i got for 40 bucks and it actually made my hair feel silky for the first time in months! i'm sure since your hair isn't as curly and thick, it will make your hair feel great! it's ceramic so it won't be as harsh on your hair. I currently use it now! you can find it ont the conair website here.

The hot tools straighteners are reallly good..they make ur hair shiney and super straight..my 4 friends got them for 40 bucks at wal*mart

A ceramic iron. Doesn't damage your hair that much. They range from $25 and up. That is your best bet.

Is the brand name "hot tools"? I've never heard of them... are they ceramic? What type of hair do you have?

Also have any of you heard of the ions in a straightener? The more the better... all I know is that my hairstylist was talking about them and something about energy that I wasn't paying much attention to... Chi irons have some hgh measure of ions.

i personally use chi, because i have curly hair. But I have friends that use Hot Tools (the ceramic one). Don't use the regular hot tools, it damages your hair quite badly.

i have a conair straightner..its a "ceramic" one (whatever that it) and it works pretty good..it has a dial to let you choose how hot you want it, and there are 2 types of combs you can attach to it

i dont really like straightners actually i use a big barrel curling iron to straighten my hair....kinda ironic...i dunno but hey it works better and plus it takes up less time, for me anyways

uuyuuuiiyu

i really highly DO NOT recommend Conair. My hair is really curly and conair does not straighten it AT ALL..so whatever you do, if you are planning on spending a good amount of money on it, atleast get a nice one!

Hot tools is very good, a lot of people I know use that and it works well. Personally, i use ceramic series by Helen of Troy. I think it only cost me about $35 and it works perfectlyy and i've had it for a while now.

soo yeah, good luck!

[picaso_smile]

Hummm... it seems most of you like hot tools (or at least don't dislike it) Any specific verion/type or whatever that you'd reccomend?.

[toodlepops.]

i dont straighten my hair.

[jr0h]

i know a $30 one you can buy at hair salons. its called HOT TOOLS and its gold plate. it works really good. i have it.

[br0ken smile]

I have a hot tools one. I works good and I have wavy / curly hair

[swe3ttemptasian]

I have a ceramic one.. brand:curlmaster..
only about $40 or up.. but yeah.. really works well..it's really light and compact and heats up in seconds.. ooor.. you can get when my mom uses... but its $600.....lol.. soOo nvvvm but that's like the best working thing ever..anyways..lol

[Nicolatofu]

you know what i recommend you do? go to folica.com and look there. They have straightening irons ranging from Chi, all the way to Hot tools. I bought a Hai 2 straightener from there which was like $120, and they are really good to work with. They even have a thing to find out what kind of straightener is best for your hair. And if you don't like the straightener, you can return it for a full refund!

Just go to walmart and pick one that has heat control (different levels of heat) thats how I picked mine and it was only like 30 bucks.

[lee lee babiee]

i use Conair... it works for straight hair with a few curly pieces but not for like totally curl/wave...

Curlmaster is a great one. That's the one I use and I have wavy - curly hair. Get one of those, they work great and they aren't that expensive.

[kissablexeva]

whats chi? i sound stupid dont i?

[cmgchica717]

Ive used the conair straight iron and I was really pleased with it. That is the only straight Iron I have used so I would recommend that one.

[angel-roh]

supercut is the best one...it costs $40... we have like 2... it happened by accidential way lol

[picaso_smile]

So, is curlmaster at Walmart also? Or salons only... I don't want to have to order online. And is there any model by Hot Tools that's better than another?

Whatever type you should get, you should get a ceramic one because ny other type can damage your hair. But make sure it's not the imitation ones with metals plates and ceramic plate covering it. A real ceramic one cost over 60$.
