ok, so i have this ceramic hair straightener i bought at walmart for like $17. It straightens my hair pretty well, but not perfectlly, because after, say, a half hour or so, it gets a little curly at the ends, and it REALLY annoys me, because i want PIN STRAIGHT hair. I have been looking through previous questions that have been asked about hair straighteners, and i have realized that many people recommended the CHI hair straightener. I wanted to know, if anybody has this hair straightener, and thinks it could make my hair stop from curling after a little while, and if it could make my hair pin straight, the way i have always wanted it? please, i would really appreciate it.

Sorry to tell you this, but you get what you pay for. I use the HOTTOOLS flat iron. It's black and purple and it has 10 temp settings on it. You can get it from Sally's beauty supply or an exclusive beauty supply where you have to be licensed to get in. If you buy a flat iron with temp settings on it, you are able to make it hotter to straighten your hair better. That doesn't mean put it on the highest because your hair is curly. You can still cause a lot of damage. When it's hot, you can go over your hair 1 time without having to go over it 2 and 3 times because your other iron isn't hot enough. I hope your understanding this, because it's kinda hard to explain. Don't straighten your hair everyday. It's best not to wash your hair in the morning, then blow dry it, and then flat iron it. Try and wash your hair at night and then flat iron it in the morning so you can let it air dry. Try and keep the uneccessary heat off. Don't blow dry or flat iron if you don't have to. The CHI is a good iron, but there are other ones that can be just as good, but without paying all the money for it. Good Luck, hope this helps.

One thing that most people forget to do is to put a straightening agent in the hair before blow drying and/or straightening. Try power straight by Straight Sexy Hair Concepts. Using something that has a silicon base helps to protect the hair from moisture that is making it curl. Also, try using a straightening shampoo and conditioner.

Your hair curling up has nothing to do with the straightener. If your hair is as straight as you want it when you are finished, then it's the weather or the moisture in the air.
Check out some of the products that are out there to keep your hair from curling up.

Are you using some kind of smoothing product with the flat iron? Try Sleek Smoothing Serum or Iron Smoother, and Locking Spray. Actually the whole system will help tremendously. Shampoo, Conditioner, Serum, Iron Smoother, and Locking Spray. For hair that's a bit more resistant like yours seems to be, it's best to use a system with the iron.

unfortuatley, as in make up, you have to reapply through-out the day. Some last longer than others but they are much more expensive. If you do not have oily hair try a straightening hair product as well like Bed Head or something :) good luck!

Yes I have the hair straightener. It works well. I use a product from Got 2 B for use on dry hair before you straighten it and it usually keeps it straighter then if I don't use anything.

It might not be the hair straightener...it might be your hair. is your hair naturally curly or do you have a perm. and also do you live in a very humid area...these can all play a role in why your hair will not stay straight. and also you might have hair that just reaches your shoulders and that makes the hair have a natuaral bend in it. like it curves with the neck and shoulders.

Yuko system by Phiten. Your hair will be pin straight. It's expensive and takes time, 7-8 hours, but for at least 4 months your hair will be straight.
