Question Posted Monday August 15 2005, 9:33 am

What is a good hair straightinger (sp?)? I have very thick hair and my conair straightinger just doesn't work for me and more. What's a good brand that will work for my kind of hair? Thank you in advanced.

Me too! Dude, I have really thick, wavy, frizzy and uncontrollable-at-times hair. And ConAir doesn't work for me either. I have a ConAir three inch straightener... but it takes me twice as long to do half of my hair. Recently, I got a CHI straightener. I got mine off of eBay, brand new, for $90-ish. Including shipping! There were some that were $63, but we didn't win. And these are brand spanking new. CHI is really really good. It took me 1 hour to do half my hair with my ConAir straightener, it takes me 45 minutes to do all of my hair with my CHI straightener. The CHI flat irons are ceramic, so they can get really hot. They heat up in about 10 seconds, too. You have to make sure you don't drop them though, on something hard, because the ceramic plates might break. But, it is really good. The place listed below is offering a CHI 1 inch (what I have) flat iron for $111.95, free UPS shipping, and some biosilk therepy treatment (it's like a heavy moisturizing conditioner) for free. If you use a straightener - no matter what brand - frequently, it's a good idea to use a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Aveda makes a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner... =)

Or you can check on eBay. Look for "CHI ceramic plates flat iron" and you should get quite a few hits. People - many people - sell these flat irons brand new, though they do charge shipping. There are some used flat irons for sale, too, but they aren't much cheaper; so it's kindof better to purchase a new one.

Hey,
conair straighteners aren't really the best brand of straighting iron's out there. I use a Ceramic by Helen of Troy. Its really good acctually. You can acctually choose the heat setting for it. settings 1-5 are for thin or wavy hair. and settings 6-12 are for thick curly or wavy hair. It heats up quickly too. I dont know exactly how much mine cost. Im sure it wasn't very expensive though.

I always use Loreal' straightener gel. you put this stuff on your hair and then straighten it with your straightener. i have really thick hair too and it works really well for me. try it.

I also have thick hair. There is a shampoo & conditioner called "Simply Straight" by Marc Anthony. Wash you hair with that in the shower. Let your hair dry and then I reccomend the Gold Ceramic straighteners by Conair. These are the things that really worked for me.

I hope this helped!

abercr0mbiie143 answered Monday August 15 2005, 9:40 am:
mm for your hair you should prolly ask your hair dressor to send away for one thats perfect, a good straightener has gold plates and they work the best, from experience. But the ones you send away for can be quite expensive, but there the best..hope that helps,rate me if i did <3
