Can you help me?What is a good hair straightener that is not expensive?
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.

you can look at beauty supply stores and most of the time you can find one for around 40 bucks....personally tho im satisfied with my revlon straightener...i dont know the model # or anything but i got it at walmart for about $15 bucks and its white and gold....good luck
Oh jees :) Get a Conair. Any type is good and the cheapest one at my store wat $15 and its yellow and black. it works liek a charm ;] it amazing. no idea what i'd do w/o it. And believe me my hair is one fig puff ball and it flattens it out no problem. so yea it was wayyyy worth that $15
Depending on where you get it, you can get a chi or a ghd cheap. Try here: http://kmarie923.ecrater.com/
