someone at your salon should be able to order you one of the good ones like a Chi or Solano

When I last had TR done, my stylist used a GHD

i don't know about the one with the comb & steam.
i'd recommend GHD/hai stik/kodo/hair tools.

Hi guys, thanks for all your replies and help. I finally ended up finding a really awesome hair straightner by YESI. Never heard of the brand till I went w/ my friend down to the beauty supply store (which only licenced hair stylists can go), and tried it out. It is FABULOUS! No straightening products needed, and my hair is straighter than ever without the frizz! Even in really hot and humid conditions. YAY!!

By the way.. the YESI hair straightener is a little pricey though... It retails for $330 but I got it wholesale for $170. Anyways...YAY! Again!

I actually really don't like the Chi much, I've personally tried about 10 different straighteners for my stubborn curly hair, and my favorite is the Solano Saphire! http://www.folica.com/Solano_Sapphire_d1070.html

I also love to use Frederik Fekai's glossing cream, makes such a difference! http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P9955

[LolitaLuxe]

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

 

[Acid]

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)
