flat iron recommendations

[joliebelle]

I need a new flat iron, since my old Conair died on me (figures). I have thick/coarse AA hair and I need something that isn't going to take 2 hours for me to use any recs?

I just recently bought a new flat iron and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Its the Conair Infiniti Nano Silver Tourmaline Ceramic™ 1” Straightener. I have really thick, wavy-ish hair and this straightener works magic. I have the hairdryer from the same line of products and love it just as much too. I DEFINITELY recommend it.

Let me set the picture I have VERY thick hair that is VERY curly and coarse, even though it has been relaxed. It can be compared to ethnic hair and my hairdresser mainly does AA hair.

I have a T3 Toumaline Wet/Dry Ceramic that I paid about $200. I would not recommend it if your hair is thick, because the plate is too small. It was a waste of money

My favorite, still goes back to a Revlon Flat Iron that I can buy at the grocery store for about $25. The Iron is actually made by Helen of Troy, and the plate is 2" wide. It's the only thing that can get my hair straight. It's a great deal. I have the first one and LOVE it.

I have a Chi Turbo. I have wavy, coarse, frizzy hair and it makes my hair super straight and shiny. I would recommend buying on Ebay versus paying retail for it...

What's the Turbo? I have a Chi. I swear by it. When I have my hair straight, people don't believe that I have very curly hair. I also use a Chi hairdryer. And use Chi products. And my stylist (cousin) uses Chi hair color on me.

I had no idea a Chi Turbo existed, I use the Chi. If I let my hair dry naturally, it's wavy, but it can be blow dried straight. I spent $150 on my Chi and for someone who straightens their hair every day like me, it's been well worth it.

does anyone have a Sedu? The reviews I've seen of it are amazing

I also recommend the Chi. Worth every cent!

Hmm. It might not be the official name...we just always called it that in college to distinguish between mine (says turbo on the end, and it's covered in red velvet and has a broader temperature range) and my roommate's (solid black, smaller temperature range, and the plates weren't as wide).

I have that Remington Wet to Dry and it works pretty well, best of the ones I've tried so far. I had a girl use a Chi straightener on me when I got my hair cut once though and it was so amazingly fast. Ebay, huh....???

BaByliss makes a good one for about $100 - it also has like a 4 year warranty, so makes it well worth the $.

Get a CHI!!! Run fast, it is worth every penny. I had issues paying $90 for a flat iron, but let me say this-I have wavy hair. I live in Houston with the humidity and air like warm mayonase. The Chi keeps my hair staright no matter what!! I love it, and kick myself for not buying it sooner.

I use a ceramic flat iron...works wonders!

I have a HAI flat iron and really like it. My first one lasted about 3 years (with almost daily use) and I've had my new one for about a year and a half. I'm convinced my first one died because I dropped it so much though.
