~*~*PiNkY*~*~ · 03-07-2004

Thank you

I bought a CHI Iron, the very best product for staightening, used by models. Its not cheap but amazing. U must buy the Silk infusion or Silk Therapy (Products from Farouk) in order to get the best result and to not do any harm to your hair. Good Luck, I would get the RED Regular Iron

as long as you get ceramic straightners NOT metal ones.......they all pretty much the same thing apart from the time they take to heat up

as for products........they really all do the same job, add moisture to protect the hair while you straighten it.

if you use a spray product which contains alcohol......your hair will go EXTRA EXTRA straight and your hair will be like from a shampoo commercial the whole day

CHI is the best. That is what I use.

The shampoo, conditioner, spray on treatment, Silk oil, then the ceramic iron. They smell great and work very well.

Very expensive compared to other products but very much worth it.

Now...the fashion world is full of BS so don't BS me here.

I'm thinking of buying ceramic hair-straighteners. I have very thick, wavy hair which has never been chemically treated.

All I want the iron to do is straighten, I'm not bothered if it takes a while either.

Which brand is the best? (bearing in mind I don't want it to massage my back and brush my teeth while it straightens I just want the darned stuff straight)

just buy anything that is ceramic Prince.
Hair tools
GHD
Braun do some good ones i think

go to argos

and be sure to post a photo when you have your newly slickened hair

If you have the money to spend, I suggest the japanesse thermal recondition treatment. It lasts longer and you don't have to straighten everyday!

I don't have money to spend! And I don't want to do anything permanent...

Thanks Foxie-Pooh and Acid...I think I'll go for Braun.

Has anyone tried T3 tourmaline hair straightener? I'm trying to decide between solano, chi and T3. Also, do people mostly dry their hair before running a flat iron through?

Elegance.Is.Refusal. · 11-02-2005

question about straighteners! well quite a few really and would appreciate the help!

i've had mine for a while and they are ceramic plaited but the plaiting has gone all weird i dont know if its the products or the ceramic coming off since they are plaited? is this meant to happen?

am i better off buying some which are solid ceramic? is there any difference between ceramic coated and solid ceramic?

and does it make any difference if they are solid ceramic and teflon coated as well does this make your hair smoother or something?

any help is greatly appreciated

read the reviews on www.folica.com -- i kept on hearing about chi's but after reading the reviews that they break easily i opted for the sedu. i couldn't be more pleased with the results. sedu's and chi's are the most popular on folica, and they have over a hundred reviews -- i would be skeptical on the ones that don't have as many. the prices are very good too.

Well i use remington ceramic thingie magiga ones, they are good but i haven't really got any other straightners to compare them to!I'm really tempted about these chi straightners whats the prices like?

Reseneace · 12-02-2005

Can anyone recommend me a really good heat protective spray please?

The T3 tourmaline hair iron is AMAZING. I've tried everything - chi, solano, babyliss - but nothing beats T3. I feel like other brands have damaged my hair - split ends, dry hair, etc. T3 however is supposed to be healthier for your hair. Orlando Pita uses it back stage and also loves the T3 dryer. T3 also has a wet-to-dry iron that let's you skip drying and go to straightening on damp hair.
