Is this a good hair straightener?

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.

=== Tips for buying professional hair appliances ===



Do NOT buy professional hair appliances from unauthorized places like amazom.com, eBay, Target, Walmart, etc. Because if you do, manufacturers will refuse to honor the warranty. Buy from licensed places like salon, licensed professional beauty stores like Folica.com, Ulta.com, West Coast Beauty Supply Inc. etcIs this a good hair straightener?
idk but i have had my iso straightener for 3 years and it works great. its a bit chipped b/c of my clumsiness in dropping it on hard floors, but it heats up in 30 sec and makes my hair shiney and straight.



it was like 200, but i use it everyday
I actually work at ULTA and we do not recommend this straightner. I dont want to say that it is not good because I personally have not used it before but I have heard from some of my co-workers that it doesnt really work well on wet hair. It says that is what it is for but it works better when your hair is dry. Well it really depends on your hair. If you have thin hair it might be ok but for thicker hair it probably wont give you very good results. If you are looking for a really good straightner buy a CHI or T3. They are the best that ULTA has to offer because they are truly ceramic. All of the other flat irons (usually anything under $80) are not really ceramic. They are just ceramic coated and eventually that will end up wearing off and then you can burn your hair. If you are looking for a brand that is not too expensive but works well I would go with Hot Tools or Wigo. You should also use a smaller 1'; iron cause they are easier to use and you will achieve better results. Well good luck!
ghd is the best.x
yes! i have this straightner and SWEAR by it! i use the thinner one because my hair is shorter. what's so great about it, is that you can turn it down lower and use it on dry hair too! be super careful though because it is easy to burn you head or fingers since it steams. great great great straightner though!
Um..I never had that one, but any cheaper priced hair straightener is going to die on you sooner then if you get a professional one. Which in that case you are going to end up spending the same amount as if you were to buy a professional one in replacements for cheap ones. I prefer the CHI straightener. I have had if for 3 years and I swear by it. It also comes with a one year warranty so if something goes wrong and after the year it only costs $25 to have it repaired (that is if something goes wrong). I haven't had even one problem with it in the three years of owning it.
