As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons/hair straighteners, including Sedu, Hai, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc. You should get a Professional hair straightener, they style much better and faster, and most importantly, they protect your hair.
In terms of performance:
The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, Ghd. These are top of the line professional brands
Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell,
Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss
Below Average: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.
=== Flat Iron Hair Straighteners FAQ ======
Q: What size should I choose?
A: For most people, 1';, 1-1/4'; or 1.5'; are all good choices. If you have very thick, coarse, long or ethic hair, bigger size (1.5'; or 2';) will save you some time. If you have thin, fine hair, get a smaller one (1'; or 3/4';).
Q: What temperature should I should on my hair?
A: Based on my expereince, 380F is the average temperature to use. If you hair is thick and coarse, bump it up a bit, if you hair is fine or overprocessed, start it at somewhere 300F, and try it. If the setting does not work well for you, increase a bit until you get a setting that works well for you but does not burn your hair. Trial and error.

Whats the best ceramic flat iron?
i want something thats well worth the money and something that will last

If you are willing to spend the money, CHI brand is supposed to work really well, but they're costly at $50-$100+:

I was cheap and bought a bulky con-air one for about $25, and it's going on about 2 years now with it and it still works fine for me, though.

Has anyone ever used the ProSilk Ceramic flat iron?
Just wondering. I want to get it, but I want to know if it works first. Don't recommend any other flat iron to me, unless ProSilk is really THAT bad. I know about the Chi...but that costs $100+ and I'm a 14 y/o without a job. I know my parents aren't up for that.Has anyone ever used the ProSilk Ceramic flat iron?
yes proslik is a good one
get it trust meHas anyone ever used the ProSilk Ceramic flat iron?
No idea what it is. You should buy one from a Beauty supply store. They generally work better. Mine is a Jubilee and works great. I bought it at the local Sallys for like 40 bucks. Have had it for over two years.

What is the best ceramic flat iron to buy?
I mean like brands.What is the best ceramic flat iron to buy?
i love my sedu...i have thick curly hair and it straightens it so easily and makes it really soft and shineyWhat is the best ceramic flat iron to buy?
I know all of the really expensive professional ones are really good.
But I have a Conair and I love it! I got it from Wal-Mart for about $20-35. It's 2 inches so kind of big, the inside is gold, outside is black, and there is a comb attachment on one side so after it straightens your hair it combs it so your hair doesn't look stringy or pasty.
My sister had a smaller pro one and it broke really soon. My first Conair lasted for 2 years and now I'm one my 2nd one. But hey for like$25 for 2 years I can't complain.
Good luck picking a great straightener!
I am actually looking to buy a ceramic flat iron too. I am going to Ulta tomorrow to probably buy something from CHI. My moms hair dresser recomended it. It is $120.00 but I think it is supposed to be worth it. Good luck!
CHI is good but it broke down easily for some people. I've had mine for 3 years and so far so good. Linea Pro, Sedu and Solia are good too. But the best one is GHD, if you're willing to shell out $200+.
Good luck.
CHI works really well, especially if you have thisck or frizzy hair. I would recommend going to a store like Ulta and ask them for recommendations if the CHI is out of your price range.
Chi is the best. Here's a link where you can buy them on sale.

I am using GVP 1'' Ceramic Flat Iron: Compare to Farouk CHI Original.?
Is there any side effects in using using Flat iron? Can you use it regularly?I am using GVP 1'' Ceramic Flat Iron: Compare to Farouk CHI Original.?
Any unatural heat is damaging to your hair. Your best bet is to just let your hair air dry and then put a protective heat serum on your hair. Then use a flat iron to straighten it, but if you are impatient then you can roller blow dry it with a roller brush, and then flat iron it. The most important thing to do is condition condition condition, use only a little of diluted shampoo in cup and pour it over your hair, and squeeze the hair do not massage it back and forth the traditional way it breaks your hair off. Oh by the way I had a CHI and and then I got a SEDU I love my SEDU, it takes half the time and doesnt snag my hair! Good luck.... I know I said a mouthfulfacebook layouts
