I'll like to also hear from someone of mixed race, i.e those with some type of thick african/american hair.
I heard about Chi, Sedu and Global Beauty but can't decide!

Go with the Chi! Make sure you get one that has a temperature setting and have it set pretty high. Slide the iron over the hair quickly....don't hold it on the hair for any length of time! You may have to go over it several times, just be quick! All the girls at the salon I work at own Chi irons! They really are awesome.

I did a lot of ethnic hair in cosmetology school, and I used a Global Beauty flat iron. It worked wonders! Honestly, it doesn't really matter what brand of flat iron you buy, as long as the plates are ceramic and you can adjust the temperature of the unit. And you would want to look for a flat iron that can get to about 400 degrees. Any hotter will do some serious damage and any less won't do much at all.
Good luck!

I particularly have hair this is a thick as a freaking mop lol so I have been given between the straighteners u can use while ur hair is moist.... what u do i permit ur hair dry until that's slightly damp after a bathtub and positioned some straightening product in it.... i for my section like dangle at once from aveda. Then straighten after putting in the product (make constructive ur hair remains damp because of the fact if its no longer this wont artwork besides) and positioned some anti frizz product in it while ur performed... identity try this perhaps in basic terms 3 or 2 time a week in any different case u will harm ur hair... wish this helped!!

I believe that CHI is the best flat iron out there! My sister has extremely thick hair and the CHI works great for her!

Go for Chi... esp. Chi Turbo it gets really hot quickly and works really well. It works on all different kinds of hair and makes it really straight.

I personally recommend the chi iron, it becomes very hot very fast, so careful, and use with straightening balm to reap full effects

I use chi on my daughter, her hair is more Mariah Carey. I use the cricket on myself, it mositurizes more, I relax my hair 4x's a year. The cricket does not work on her curls, the chi is too hot for mine. We're both mixed.
