I'm from melbourne ^_^



Trust me, save a little bit more and get a GHD. They are AMAZING. I can curl my whole head in under 10 minutes...and I have longish, thick hair. It straightens so well as well - stays straight all day. I'll never have a bad hair day...they are $300 though.. :)

I can't recommend a specific brand as my own one is well over that price range. However, I would suggest that it isn't your straightener making your hair feel greasy ...

This could be for several reasons, including your conditioner, wether you washed it out well, or any products you are using in your hair. Stress and fatigue can also make your hair temporarily greasy.

You could try not claming the straightener on a piece of hair for so long to stop the burning smell.

My last hair straightener was a Remington for about $30, with ceramic plates, which spread heat evenly.

Always use heat-protection products when straightening your hair to protect it!
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 and Chameleon. 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.
