I really wonder why hair straighteners are so expensive. I don't think curling irons go for that much...anyway. My mom's hair straightener is a CHI. I've used it before and it is really good! I'm sure it was expensive but knowing my mom she probably got a coupon...lol. But since that doesn't matter to you, yes, I'd have to say it would be worth it.

Tips: Always use a good amount of heat protectant spray. When you are in the shower use a good conditioner and leave it on for 3-5 minutes. This helps greatly reduce the damage. NEVER EVER straighten wet hair, or unprotected hair. If you start straightening it regularly, its good to "go natural" every once in a while :) Sorry, but I hope I helped!

I have heard from MANY people [as well as Folica.com reviews] that CHI is good, but overpriced for what it can do.


I have a Solia Flat Iron, and I could not be happier with it. It's pricey, but you said that didn't matter so:

It's the best straightener I've ever used and it seems to damage my hair less. Plus, the way the hinge and plates are designed, I NEVER snag my hair or anything. It's amazing. I clean the plates with rubbing alcohol periodically to remove product buildup and that's it.


For a less expensive option, consider the Reminton Wet2Style [or Wet2 Straight, but the plates aren't curved and in my opinion harder to use]. Use it on dry hair, though. Use it on wet hair and you'll cause more damage and basically have to straighten your hair twice. It's wicked good. Not as hot as the Solia, but my hair stays mostly straight, totally straight in winter.

I had this one for over two years, and my only complaint was that the protective finish on the plates wore off over time. But since you'll pay $25 at Target for it, it's a cheaper option and easier to replace too.

I had a CHI once. You can get them at Sally's Beauty Supply. They are the best really, but they are really expensive! I have a wet-to-straight now, and it is probably the best one I've had in a LONG time! ♥
