Good Luck!What are the best hair straighteners to buy besides ghd?
I use GHDs and they are terrific!!!





Although my friends use FHI's and also Remington ceramic straighteners and claim that they are just as good. I think that FHI's are still around 拢60-拢70, but the Remington ones are much more affordable (around 拢20)

My Remington hair straighteners were only 拢25 but they are amazing.





They heat up to 220 degrees in less than a couple of minutes, they came with a heat proof mat to lay them on %26amp; they glide through my hair %26amp; make it so sleek %26amp; shiny, I'd definitely recommend them to you.
CHI is best. It's ceramic so it doesn't give you static. It works really well and heats up within a few seconds. They're pricey though- go to Sally Beauty or another beauty supply store to get it for cheaper.
You want to find a straightner that has no metal in it. Also you don't want a straightner that can heat up really hot because it will fry you're hair. I had a CHI and i broke it to see if it had metal in it and it did. Even though some people think there good...i still think there are better straightners out there.
huge choice
I would say the CHI flat iron. First it is 100% ceramic, not ceramic coating. There is a 1 year warranty with it and it has movable plates. Which you can use to flip or curl your hair along with straightening.
i would say CHI flatiron is a good one
Corioliss pro and you can get them in a pink for the girly girls (I wouldn't go on holiday without them)
none ghd r the best, nothing else compares
ghds are great- if you have dull, lifeless hair


i use remington wet2straight and they work amazingly. i have rli thick hair and it thins it down while leaving it glossy and easy to manage. i would reccommend them over ghds to anyone
vidal sassoon is coming out with this hair dryer that instantly straighten the hair as it dries. Im not sure when it will hit the market
First of all....lots of bad info going on here! CHI Irons are not a solid ceramic plate. They are a coated ceramic plate. The only benefit to a solid vs. coated plates are that they heat up much quicker. They all heat to their full capacity in less than one minute so unless you're in the salon the extra 15-20 seconds won't make a difference. Solid ceramic plates are very fragile, they will crack if you drop your iron. Coated plates are much more resilient but after time, the coatings (Which are made with a process of dipping and baking) will chip off. I highly recommend the Hot Tools ceramic irons over the CHI for numerous reasons:





More ceramic coatings.





Higher heat settings, they will get up to 200* C with is about 430* F. You need at LEAST 400* F to close the cuticle of the hair so anything less is far more damaging than a higher heating appliance as you need several passes with the iron to achieve the desire results.





Tourmaline and Ceramic. Ceramic uses a far infrared heat to heat the hair from the inside out. It's a much quicker heat source. Tourmaline is the only gemstone that emits it's own ION. The other's that have only ceramic and claim to have ION are not being truthful. You can charge an item with ION but unless it has a delivery system it's useless..ie. in a blowdryer the air is the delivery system. In a flat iron the Tourmaline is the delivery system.





Pulse Technology. This means that it keeps the iron at the desired temperature. When using the appliance, you will lose heat as it is displaced from the iron to the hair....feel how hot your hair is after you pass it through the iron. The Pulse Technology is simply a mechanism in the heating element that pulsates to keep the temperature consistant.





Floating plates which require less tension on the iron to compress completely on the hair.





Rheostatic heating, so that you can choose how hot you want the iron to get. Hair that is more damaged requires less heat. As do blondes and gray hair. It will actually scorch the hair and make it yellow.





And BEST OF ALL....Price! The Hot Tools #1188 one inch ceramic, tourmaline iron will run you about $60 and the CHI is about twice that amount.





So, all in all I totally recommend the Hot Tools #1188 one inch flat iron! It's got the most bang for the buck!





And it's not just because I work for the company, it's also because I'm a stylist and my clients deserve the best products!
Do you see how the fur of a cat looks when someone steps on its tail? its just like getting an electric shock and the guys are gonna think you have just been shocked wearing straight hair.
