I want to buy a good straightener for my curly and frizzy hair, what kind should i buy?

Question

i have curly, frizzy, and pretty thick hair and i really wanted to buy a good straightener to straighten my hair, but i have no idea about what kind to buy for my kind of hair. i got this one from like walmart or something for like 15 dollars, but my hair still is really frizzy with it and it takes really long to straighten and i don't have the patience for it. i don't mind the straighter i want to get to be a little more expensive as long as it works good with my hair. do u have any suggestions on what kind i should buy for my kind of hair that also won't damage it as bad?

Answer 1

the brand called CHI is best, but they are really expensive...like $150+ i think. but its so worth it, it works better than anything. also, you need to make sure you are using a serum on your hair BEFORE you use a straigtener...CHI makes one, but i use Biosilk Silk Therapy. It protects your hair from the extreme heat of a straightener..otherwise your hair will be a fried mess after a few months of using a straightener without this product. Look on ebay to get a good deal on a CHI straightener....its really the best bar none.

Answer 2

I would go to a beauty supplies store, not walmart. Get something with different heat settings. I went to Sally's beauty supplies and it was great, but there might be other stores like this in your area.
I bought jilbere de paris: tourmaline series and was 59.99. I got my hair done in 15 min!! I love it! And it used to take me 40-60 min.
I'm sure there are some other good ones for a little less, just look for ceramic and different heat settings

Answer 3

i have extremely frizzy and curly hair... the straightener that worked best for me is enzo milano its kind of pricy but reasonable for the results. i have verry little time to straighten my hair in the mornings but it straightens my hair fast and easy, and always makes my hair look shiny. whatever straightener you choose make sure the plates have a ceramic coating. the website for the company Enzo Milano is www.enzomiLano.com

Answer 4

I have psychotic hair that is ridiculously curly lol I feel your pain! The straightener I use is a ceramic one... brand name is "CHI". Mine is about one inch wide, but they make one that is 2 inches I believe... the wider, the better. It takes less time. And ceramic is always best.

Answer 5

Buy a ceramic flat iron @ "trade secret". Make sure it has a dial so you can control the temperature. I recomend the "hot tools" one. After you wash your hair, blow-dry or air-dry, you can seperate your hair in strands and start using your flat iron. Your hair must be dry. After you're done, rub a few drops of any anti-frizz serum and.......walaaaaaa

Answer 6

if u want a really good one ur gonna have to spend some good money..some people myte tell u to get the CHI flat iron but if ur hair is thick and pretty curly u myte want to go with the Chi TURBO flat iron...it's bigger and better...it also lasts longer than the thin little original chi...so chek it out...i've tried the targe, wal-mart flat irons and they havent done HALF the work the chi does...go for it..ull love it:)

Answer 7

i got a nice straigtner for 24.99 at CVS. It is a Conair. It works awesome It only takes me about 20 minutes but my hair is thinner then the average. although my friends hair is think and frizzy and it takes her about 30 minutes to do her hair. the straintner works great. we both have complaments on how soft our hair is. if you have tried conair and it dosent work for you, you might also try Remington:Wet to Straight it works awesome also.

Answer 8

CHI's are the best kind of straightener! i was freakin shocked when i first used one! it gets your hair like, perfectly straight! i don't know how they do it but there doing it right is all i can say!!!

Answer 9

i think of Pantene has a line rather on your variety of hair (like mine). I plan on attempting it once I even have the money to purchase it. that's in basic terms their line of things for at the instant hair. even nonetheless that one seems stable, it does no longer harm to apply different stable manufacturers for at the instant hair. (they are actually not in basic terms for persons with evidently at the instant hair, yet people who're going to straighten their hair additionally) the final analysis is to place a product on your hair it is designed to guard it from warmth harm and stop frizz. in case you will locate that for the time of a shampoo, conditioner, and spray, then you definately're set. finding on how plenty money you desire to spend on a hair straightener, WalMart has particularly stable manufacturers like Remmington and Conair. in case you have greater money to spend, then definately choose for a Chi. in case you have a Marshalls or TJ Maxx via you, they have particularly stable expenses on hair straighteners. yet another tip, confirm you blow dry your hair first with a stable blow dryer which will ward off frizz. Use an brush with ions in it. in certainty you're in basic terms some steps far flung from eye-catching hair. a million. Get a stable shampoo and conditioner it is for at the instant hair or which will ward off warmth harm (one with the two is even greater desirable) 2. Use a sprig that stops warmth harm. comb it by using your hair. 3. area your hair and pin it up with hair clips to hold it in place. 4. Blow dry your hair as at the instant as you could, one area at a time. (I many times will blow dry an element, then run the hair straightener by using it. I repeat that till i'm carried out) 5. Use the hair straightener.
