Hair straighteners?

i have long thick hair and need some new straighteners. Are GHD's actually the best out there or do you know of any as good or better. (and if possible, cheaper).Hair straighteners?
Superdrug do pink ones for 拢12. They are digital, varible heat control etc. High heat 210-215 degrees. Really good. I have horrible frizzy coarse hair %26amp; most straighteners are no good to me but these are excellent. Would never never never pay for ghd's nowHair straighteners?
i have thick hair..


i use the cheapest str8ner


and it comes out..dead str8


quality doesnt matter for me

Kodo straighteners, I think they are more reliable and cheaper.
YUP...ghdz r definatly the BEST ......
i saw some at sharper image, and i heard from a friend that they work, but they cost around $50


if that is outside your budget, i would browse through walgreens or target for a good one
GHDs are good


so are t3s


i have naturally long curly hair too and both work really well for me
the new one by conair works really well and at some stores you can get it for $45 chi also works good but they usually cost more
dont get conair. it sucks well it did for me it was like using a hair dryer it takes probably like an hour or longer to straighten with it. i bought a yourstyler usually sell at malls really good.
They are good, but not the best.





Tourmaline is the new ceramic, but it will come at a cost.





I recently purchased some fantastic H2D straighteners on ebay for 拢15 and they are absolutely brilliant, better than my last ones which were hairtools (another expensive, yet respected brand)
If you have thick hair, i`m afrid GHD`s are the best love. I went to wakestock this summer (music Fest) and what with all the camping n stuff I felt like poo. But luckily there was a GHD beauty salon trailer there and after every trip I felt a million dollors, even though i hadn`t washed for days and the toilet`s were rank!!!!
Hmm well okay the good brands out there , for a really good straightner would have to be the metal ones..and those are like $150. i stick with conair ;) or my blowdryer for best results. %26amp; yeah my hair is helluh thick.
Well i also have long, thick hair and the straightners used never worked. Either pulled my hair out or just wasnt straight enough. Then got the MAXIGLIDE , im an infomerical queen so ive always wanted to try it, so i did and i have to say it is THE BEST strightner i have ever used. It used to take me an hr to staighten my hair, ever since maxiglide it just takes bout a half hr and your hair is so striaght and very soft even if you have corse hair like I do . Best invention created in my opinion. I got it at Linens and Things cost bout 80 bucks but its a GREAT investment. GL
ghds
Conair is not good i have long thick hair too.





Try herstyler.





get Ceramic ones
GHDS are the braest wons out thare, but i HHAV neaturl strahgt hare, soh itc dosnent reely booher me, u no?
You cant go cheap if you want a good straightner.. good ones r CHI and CREOLIS.. they leave your hair straight and smoth and they dont burn your hair
I use Jibere, but it's a professional straightener. My hair is also long and thick, but it works like magic.





It'll probably set you back $70-$80, but it's worth it.





You can also buy a straightening hair dryer. It's a dryer with a straightening attachment that holds the hair in place while you dry it straight. That way, your hair is straighter when you go to use a flat iron on it, and you can use a non-professional, cheaper straightening iron.
well conair has the best stuff but i dont know if they have straighteners though. i hope that helped.
read about whch type is best for your hair http://www.greathairdirect.com/ghd-hair-鈥?/a>
The Babyliss Thermaglass Wide hair straightener uses unique ultra smooth glass plates and has been recently reduced in price by about 40%.





It also comes with its own stand which is really useful as hair straighteners are super hot.
I have long thick hair.


CHI irons are the best.


Not all that cheap but very worth it

    I have a 2'' bed head straightener and i love it. i think it works really well. you can get it at a lot of places like target, walmart, meijer, places like that. it will cost about $70.
    Does not matter the brand just make sure it is negative ionic ceramic straitener.





    some brands are


    sedu


    chi


    pro-select


    hai
    The sedu is a really good straightener.
    CHI is one of the best straightners i have one and it is really good it heats up fast and is AMAZING
    I have a simple 2 inch one from conair. It works pretty well and I always use paul mitchell gloss drops afterwards.
    I have Chi and i don't really like it. I like HAI
    CHI is the best, no doubt about it!

    Hair Straighteners?

    im looking into buying a new hairstraightener.


    i currently own a Remington Wet2Straight.





    from what ive heard in research, i think im going to purchase a Sedu Flat Iron.





    what kind do you own?


    does it keep your hair straight all day?


    is it ceramic?


    do you recomend it?Hair Straighteners?
    Try something a little more salon-professional. I own a Solia %26amp; it goes up to 450, but make sure your using heat spray before each time you iron your hair. I would also recommend the Paul Mitchell, but I've had problems in the past with the cord shorting. %26amp; yes I've heard the Sedu is a very good one. My hair is naturally really wavy, thick %26amp; course %26amp; it stays straight all day. Might I recommend going tro Folica.com %26amp; you can find it %26amp; read people's reviews.Hair Straighteners?
    yeah im getting a new straightener too


    and from the research ive done for the past two weeks,


    im getting a sedu.


    i currently have a chi and its ok


    but it doesnt do too good for my hair,


    it kills it and makes it dry


    and it doesnt even straighten my hair all the way


    so i dont recommend the chi


    unless you have managable hair.


    the sedu straightener has everything needed in a good straightener


    it has adjustable temperature up to 450 degrees


    and it has ceramic/ionic tourmaline technology.


    although the FHI is the best you can get.


    its like 450 dollars.......yeah deffinitely not spending that much.


    i think the sedu is the way to go!


    good luck =)
    I own a GHD straightener. Yes it keeps my hair straight all day. It is a ceramic straightener. I definitely recommend it because it does more than just straighten it also curls, waves and flips your hair out. It is the number 1 selling flat iron in the UK but it is pricey. Celebs like Madonna and Cameron Diaz own it according to their website. With any straightener I always recommend you get a thermal protector for your hair. I recommend a flat iron with tourmaline over ceramic. Tourmaline protects your hair more than ceramic. This is relatively new technology so I do not own one since my GHD is still working great. CHI has several flat irons that have tourmaline and they are very popular- so you can probably find better deals on Chi and their products will be more available.
    i recommend a chi it works amazingly for me, but a little bit pricey
    chi. its ceramic and it works really well and leaves your hair soft :)

    My hair straighteners smell burnt and also make my hair smell burnt! help! are they broken?

    I have had them for around a year.. but only recently started using them daily (for the past 2-3 months or so).


    In the past couple of days I have noticed that they've been making my hair smell burnt, and also now, that the plates smell burnt!My hair straighteners smell burnt and also make my hair smell burnt! help! are they broken?
    well that is because it when you straight your hair it take lil bit of hair and some are really wird....but some hair is in your straighter and are bruning inside it and that is y and some of the brut hair might be stiking to your hair that might be y...





    hope you get it fixed..


    good luck xMy hair straighteners smell burnt and also make my hair smell burnt! help! are they broken?
    The heat setting is very high and there seems to be a lot of product in your hair. Holding sprays and spritz are all like glue. Glue that has literally cooked onto your curlers. Clean them with a mixture of dishwashing liquid and shampoo. With a very damp (NOT WET) cloth. The next time you use them try not to use so many chemicals at such a high setting. Try to clean them after every use so nothing can cook onto them and solidify.
    yes throw it away mine did the same thing!!


    mine even melted the plastic around it and got plastic in my hair so yes throw it away!!


    i dont know why it did this but you could try to take it back?


    but yea its not good!!
    They are probably just worn out and will break soon. My old ones started doing that after I had been using them a lot. You should get new hair straighteners because mine started giving me electric shocks shortly after this faze when I went to unplug them. Try one of the new ghd brands because they tend to last longer.





    Hope this helps you x
    You need a trim!


    Nothing wrong with your straightners


    Your hair is just singed
    probably have hair products stuck to them
    erm it smells like it!! :0) For your hairs sake, get some new ones, GHD's are excellent!!
    You might be over using it and your hair problem needs a fresh cut. If you over straighten your hair it gets dry and frissy so that might be a sign your burning you hair. Or it might just be the straightener... is it a cheap one? i would try CHI.. i use it everyday and my hair never gets burnt and it really works fantastic! I would try that..
    Hey


    My friends did that,


    i think that they are either just old


    or they were one of the cheaper ones,


    or a lower standard brand.


    dont worry about your hair too much - unless it still smells burnt after you've washed it.


    :)
    Does your flat iron have 100% ceramic plates? If not maybe the ceramit coating wore off and now your damaging your hair. Or how high is the temp. turned up on the iron, maybe it's too hot?
    if those are the cheap straighteners, the ones u can get for $15-30, they might be broken


    or maybe you're straightening your hair when its wet or damp, which you should ever do


    OR try using this: Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Heat Defense Conditioning Spray


    it protects hair from getting burned by straighteners or blowdryers
    mine do the same sometimes..


    i think they probs just need a clean, clean the plates with a damp cloth (not when hot!).


    That should do the trick !
    that means you have it turned up way too high.


    when i was getting my hair cut, she told me if you smell burnt hair while your striaghtening, or thats what your striaghtener smells like, turn it down! :]





    if you have it turned up high it will give you bad split ends, and nobody likes those!

    Good hair straighteners pleasee?

    alrighty, ive just realized my straightener is a piece of crap, so im trying to find a new one. i have a friend who owns a chi and says its like the best straightener. she can get her hair straight in like 5 minutes, but idk if that's just her hair or the straightener. so ive come to ask you guys which straightener would be best to use, im kind of set on getting a chi, but they're expensive. i want a really really good one that doesn't cost too much, takes less time to straighten hair, and doesn't damage it too much, and it doesn't really haaaave to be a chi. also maybe in a fun color ? haha yes(: also are there any good straightening products that keep your hair straight, not frizzy, all day long ? so yeah, thanks in advance !Good hair straighteners pleasee?
    the chi and the instylerGood hair straighteners pleasee?
    i had this same exact problem a couple weeks ago..i bought the Solia professional hair straightener and it is amazinggg. i ordered it from folica.com for about 86 dollars





    what i love about this straightener is that it keeps my hair straight all day long..even when its humid outside. my hair is wavy/curly and frizzy.





    also inlike the CHI straightener the Solia has tourmaline plates which helps keep the hair hydrated and doesn't damage it like most straighteners.
    if you have a little extra money,


    get a GHD.





    the chi's break easily, and they're basically just knock-off's of the GHD.


    salons and celebrity hairstylists use the GHD.





    the only bad thing about it is the price.


    they range from $220 - $270.





    but they are DEFINITELY worth it.





    and for heat protectant, use chi 44 iron guard.
    i think that the best one ive ever used was solia. Its makes my hair so silky and pin straight. Your just in luck because the company is is having a 50% off sale with free shipping. hope this helps!
    I use an Amika that I purchased at the mall. It was about $100, but it really works well and fast! I don't even need to use straightening products. My hair always comes out soft, shiny and super straight!
    I would go with the Chi. I have one and so do my friends. Its definitely worth the money.
    I have both an infinity and a nano tech straightener. I like the nano tech one better.( It's silver with light blue straightening plates.) I use that one more often because it's easier to maneuver and seems to keep my hair straight longer (2 days without contact with water). As for products, I use Suave heat styling spray or Beyond the Zone Turn Up the Heat spray. The latter is really good. It makes your hair shiny, but it smells really bad. The Suave spray works, but it seems to lengthen the time it takes to straighten my hair. My hair doesn't frizz with these products.
    Use SCP's... I got them recently and they are really good. They currently have a half price sale. You can only buy them on the internet. Get the same one as me... pink!! I used to have different straighteners and my hair would go frizzy as soon as i went outside but SCP's really help to keep your hair smooth and sleek. They're also really easy to use and I bet that they're as good as chi's.... without the price tag lol! Here's their website:





    http://www.hairstuffdirect.co.uk/





    Trust me they're really good and if you dont like them.... then you can return them for a full refund within 2 weeks!!





    Hope I helped....





    Mine? X

    Cheap Hair straighteners?

    I never thought I'd be asking this...since I always oppose to people getting cheap hair straighteners (Around 30 bucks or something) and I always recommend they just save for a more expensive one.





    I need to know which hair straightener (Ceramic plated preferably) is relatively good but cheap as well. I was using a Fhi for two years until it burnt out today and I have a concert to go to tomorrow and I also don't have a hundred bucks to spare due to the cost of tickets, food, etc etc.





    So I'm looking for highest heat, Full ceramic or plated (since this is a cheap one). (Metal plated of any kind is a definite no)Cheap Hair straighteners?
    I've had cheap ones and they've all fried my hair. Can you borrow one for the concert?





    Do you know someone who is a hairstylist? They can buy things cheaply at beauty supply stores not open to the public. Maybe someone would offer to pick one up for you. Cheap Hair straighteners?
    I just bought a remington sleek and curl at Wal-Mart for 40$ and it works great for curling and straightening

    k well i have 120 bucks right and i want to get a good straightener that will make my hair really nicely straight i dont have very thick hair its like normal but not thin either, and the straightener i have now works like crap so i want to get a new one but im on a budget so it has to be under 120 i know its hard to find a straightener that is really good less than 120 but anyone know one that i can get and i want it with a high heat setting not those crapy 20-40 heat ones like the 100-200 ones or somewhere around there or over and if you can, tell me a place i can get in metrotown then that would be perfect thanks =)Good hair straighteners.?
    Go to a beauty supply store. They sell professional salon ones and you can easily buy one for that price.





    Chi is garbage. I have one and it doesn't get nearly as hot as my no name iron which I just LOVE. My hair is really thick and it straightens it as well as makes it appear thinner. The more you play with it the more straighter you hair gets too.





    Make sure it heats to 400 farenheit.Good hair straighteners.?
    chi! always chi.
    a lot of people will tell yuo to get a chi. I can assure you that this is only for the brand name :|


    CHIs have the reputation of breaking really easily.


    if you are going to spend all of your money on a straigthener, it needs to last.





    go for a sedu or solia- they aren't as fragile as CHIs





    Sedu: $120- 125$ on folica.com





    solia: around $90 on folica.com
    get a GHD

    you can buy it from the net from folica.com

    wherever you want to; just search





    theyre one of the best
    keep saving for a ghd.there the best in the world.
    I use a VS SASSOON ceramic hair straightener,


    its absolutely FANTASTIC!


    It doesn't make your hair frizz , you can use it on dry, damp and wet hair , adjust the heat settings (so you don't burn your hair)


    and unlike a Teflon, it works much better!


    It was only about 70 AU and i didn't mind paying that


    much for it!


    i also got a free case for the hair straightener after


    i had finished working with it.


    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT
    GHD!!!!!!!!





    My GHD flat iron is better than my CHI flat iron. I love it! I've tried MANY flat irons, 'cause I straighten my hair every single day. I have short hair, and it's naturally wavy, so I have to straighten it. Plus, GHD flat irons are generally really thin and light.
