Hair straighteners: Cheap and good?


Question Posted Tuesday July 29 2008, 6:38 pm

I've been thinking about getting a straightener recently, but I'm not going to be using it every day so I don't want to get something really expensive. Do you know any cheap straighteners ($20-30) that work well? I want a Chi but those are just way too expensive unless I'm going to use it every day. Also, is it easy to burn yourself when straightening? Because I've only straightened my hair twice and my friend did it for me. And I burn myself a lot when I use a curler, but I noticed that the plates in straighteners are kind of centered so it doesn't really touch, but just in case, is it easy to burn yourself?

I'm Asian so my hair is kind of soft [I don't know how to explain it really. For some reason, Oriental people's hair is kind of different] and fine, but not like, super thin.

Thanks!

I agree with the person below..the Remington Wet and Straight is a great straighter if your hair is not super super curly (like mine =/) Also, as far as burning yourself, the place most people burn with a straighter is their scalp by trying to get to close. If you take a wide tooth comb and place it up against your scalp as you straighten (it's much much easier than it sounds lol) then you will prevent yourself from doing this. Honestly though, it's a LOT harder to burn yourself straightening than curling. Good luck and I hope I helped a little!!

I have a straightener from Revlon, and it was only like 30 dollars. It works pretty well in my opinion.

Also, I'm a total klutz, and I've burned myself only once when straightening my hair. AS long as you're careful, and take your time, you'll be fine =]

I have one of these:

It works amazingly, and it's designed to not damage your hair as much as blow drying your hair then straightening it would. Also, after I used it I had practically no frizz in my hair. It really is a great product to get for cheap!
