What is the best and cheapest hair straightener that is ceramic plated?

i have very curly hair that takes me about an hour and a half to straighten using an old wet to straight by conair (black). so i want to know if any one knew of any really good straighteners that would cut the time it takes me and that wont cause lots of damage to my hair. and also if any one knows of any good products to use to straighten hair. i have been using got to be products and frizzes hair surm. i also use biosilk conditioner which helps moisturize my hair.


i was wondering also which would be better to buy the new Dry N' Straight Wet-to-Dry 1 1/2" Ceramic Straightener or TIGI Bed Head Tourmaline Nano-Ceramic Straightener, 2" ?

^^^ Don't go through this list though if you're sure about the two you're choosing from right now. It could just cause more confusion...





Also, if you're thinking about ordering flat irons, blow dryers, etc. online make sure that the warranty will still be valid if you don't buy it from a store. Some manufacturers won't honor a warranty if the product is purchased online (e.g. Chi)

Reply:If you want something that is cheap, go with Conair professionals--they are usually around $30 and take a minute to heat up. They might cut down the time you take to straighten your hair by a little (maybe you will then need 45-60 min)


If you really want to cut the time it takes to straighten your hair, buy a CHI. They are pricey but totally worth it, they cut the straightening time to half of Conair's. Your hair won't get any straighter than it would with Conair's (don't believe the bs people say like "oh, my hair is so much smoother and silkier"), but it will take way less time to get the job done.


There's no such thing as a straightener that won't damage your hair. All you can do is use products in your hair before straightening (I recommend hair serum) and make sure your hair is COMPLETELY dry.
Reply:My hair is also very curly...you can find $100-200+ retail ceramic flat irons on EBAY...i won mine for about $32 brand new and my hair is the straightest and shiniest it has ever been. My flat iron is Pro-Chloche but there are many other to choose from. As far as product, the matrix smooth line (orange bottles) and straight serum are the best i've used...hope this helps!
Reply:i would go with this one Dry N' Straight Wet-to-Dry 1 1/2" Ceramic Straightener
