Chi is the best way to go... wait until they go on sale. You're just going to waste more money on department store junk that will keep on breaking... make the investment girl!

i work for a beauty supply distributor and i sell different brands of straighteners such as CHI, HAI, Babyliss, HOT Tools and Cricket. here is my opinion: CHI irons have been coming out defective lately and i have a hard time returning them for replacement and they also dont have a temp control.
Babyliss just plain suck, all conair products we have ever sold have been poor quality.
the two best we sell and have great warranty is the HAI and Cricket
HAI have a temp Control on them, you dont need so much heat if your hair isnt thick/coarse. the convertable is the best seller at 109.95
Cricket is great for its price, they have full ceramic plates, not ceramic coated and we sell them for around 55.00. ive only had about 4 come defective within the past year out of the hundred or so we have sold.
by the way all the irons i mentioned are ceramic flat irons.

I bet the reason your old ones sucked are because they did not have ceramic plates. Ceramic plates are not only better for your hair then just metal ones or even ceramic coated ones, then get your hair straighter and it lasts for longer. CHI is what alot of salons use, but i dont like it based on the price and my experience with them. I have a sedu and I love it. My friend has a solia and that works well for her and is slightly less than the sedu. I had a HAI before, but cord broke very easily in less than a year. (DO NOT GET ONE).
The best and most informative site i have found is www.folica.com
Not only do they have a variety for sell, they also have thousands of reviews.
But what i have found, the main thing you want is ceramic plates!

As a hairdresser, I would only buy a professional one from a salon. They are higher quality and are made to last longer. It is worth the money. Babyliss is a good brand. All my irons and straighteners are Babyliss and I have never had any problems. They are less expensive than CHI.

I had a hair straightener from I think Remington called Wet 2 Straight or sumthin' like that, it was less than $30 and worked really well on my hair (and mine's stubborn as all get out)...

the cheaper ones are crap.
seriously, just save up your money.
get a good salonquality one, maybe even ask your stylist what she uses! i have had MANY flat irons, my latest IS chi and it is the BEST by FAR. and it came in a pretty purple color. :-)
