straightener


Question Posted Wednesday January 12 2005, 10:38 pm

I'm about to buy a new straightener and I wanna make sure I get a good one this time.. I need some advice on what kind of straightener to get (cereamic, glass, gold, etc). I want one that will NOT ONLY straighten my hair really well, but also make it STAY straight all day. What do u all recommend? (something cheap, not over $30) Thanks!! i'll rate HIGH!!

I would recommend a ceramic one, but you won't find one under $30, they are expensive because they work.

Ceramic plates are the best, they smooth your hair and make it shine.

Make sure to use some sort of heat shield or you'll fry your hair into oblivion.

Make sure it's really CERAMIC and not 'painted' as the girl below me said. (It's easy to tell the difference)

NEVER STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR WHILE IT'S WET. It will fry it horribly.

There have been many straightener questions that I've answered--so here's what I answered to somebody else. I'm pretty sure it answers all your questions, so here-->

"Hot Tools-Professional" is the greatest! I use it every day. And DON'T get the ceramic ones! They aren't good and don't work well..even though people say they do. There's just a regular hot iron with gold-colored plates. I get mine at Sally's Beauty Supply, but you can only go in there if you have a professional hair dresser with you. You could probably find them at like Target or Walmart (department stores), I guess? At Sally's I think they cost about $25 to $40, I'm not really sure. Sometimes you can find them on sale for $19.99! But believe me, they are REALLY worth your money!! Good luck ♥

hey there -- i've experiented with a bunch of hair straighteners and i've actally found one that works REALLy good. Its a REVLON CERAMIC, its black gold plated. It works *awesome*... and you can buy it at local drugstores or wherever! Its between $20-28 and like i said, it works REAAALLY good, hehe. It heats up quickly, too and when I bought mine it came with the thing to change it to a curling iron, the add on piece, so it was like a two-in-one-deal. Pretty good, huh? I guess it varies on hair if you want it to stay long than you need to put in a little bit of mousse or gel or hairspray. Well good luk finding one lol, tell me how it goes. Later babey! *lollypopgurl769-ang*

Well the only kind of straightener that I know you could buy under $30 and that's a ceramic is a Revlon one. All the other kinds are cheap and don't work that great. I have a Helen of Troy flat iron that cost $150. Hope I helped :)

HEY! I have a ceramic straighener and it works good. I'm black so I have thick hair and it straightens my hair good. You can get it from Beauty Supplies stores. Mine cost $45 but it was worth the money. You said your limit is $30 and you can find an okay ceramic straighner for that much but the more expensive the better. But ceramic straighnter is the best way to go!! *HOPE I HELPED*
