I'm looking to buy a ceramic hair straightener...which is the best brand?

Also, why is there such a major difference of prices between straighteners? Does it have to do with speed, quality, etc.I'm looking to buy a ceramic hair straightener...which is the best brand?
Go to Sally Beauty Supply to pick up a professional brand which will last much longer for the money than a drug store consumer brand. The Sally brands are used by Hairdressers, so they are more powerful and built for lots of use. Sally carries a lot of different brands and sizes. You can have a better look at the features %26amp; benefits and find the right one that fits your budget.I'm looking to buy a ceramic hair straightener...which is the best brand?
For the money I suggest the one I have. It's called a Solia and I paid $88 for it from www.folica.com. It's currently on sale for I think $79? It's the one with the blue ceramic plates. I've had mine for 4-5 years now and I love it. I have very thick, course, curly hair. It heats up to 450 degrees which is what I use.
Well I have a flatline and its really good, GHDs are supposed to be good but a few people i know had one and it blew up =( also sum straightners can do curls...it also depends on your hair type, if your hair is curly and/or thick you would want one that has quite a high temperature.
It depends on what type of hair you have, i have quite alot of layers, i use treseme phillips one, it doesnt really make it poker straight, but it does the job , i used to use my sisters ghds they are very good and make it poker straight, but i straightend my friends hair with my straightens , her hair is very long, and it looked like i had straightened them with ghds.

have a good long think, do you really need to straighten your hair? once you start you cant really stop, even if you use hair protector, straightening can dry hair out and make it very unhealthy and give everystrand of hair a split end!

Product Description



Chi Original 1'; Farouk CHI Ceramic Flat Iron Model GF-1001 The CHI can be considered

one of the most versatile Hairstyling Irons on the market today. The CHI's ergonomic

in natural moisture. It's great to use prior to a Dry Haircut. The ceramic coated paddles

help prevent scorching hair color and helps reduce styling product build-up. Featuring an

extra long swivel cord to prevent tangling, the CHI has a concealed on-off switch inside

the handle to prevent accidentally turning the unit off when in use. The heat paddles are

recessed from the edges to prevent skin burns. Will automatically heat up in less than 10

Gold-N-Hot it's $40.
Depending on your ethnicity there is a difference. More fine hair types can go with Revlon or more national brands like that. For coarser hair, I would suggest CHI if you can afford it, they are kind of pricey (starting at about $95) but they work really well. Another type that I have used and worked great are Helen of Troy or Gold Tools. Go to Ulta if you have one close by that way once you try it if you don't like it you can take it back and try another one, without a whole lot of return stress. Also try Redken Spray Starch, this helps your hair to stay straight longer, and there is little if any buildup. Good Luck
I like Vidal Sassoon. You can find it in different shapes, sizes, and prices
if you want your hair to get really straight invest in buying something really good. look in folica.com they have pretty good ones. Chi is recommended
chi is the number one selling straightner! it gets the hottest, and it has equal heating through the iron plates. which means no hot spots. and by the way a professional does not go to sally beauty supply,. we use our supply house which is not open to the public. also a chi comes with a year warranty. it is well worth your money. i use it on all hair types and get great results.
