Does anyone know of any good hair straighteners that ACTUALLY work?

Question

Can you give me the price, and where i can buy it. Im clueless.

Answer 1

I saw that the person before me answered CHI and that is a great straightening iron however be prepared to shell out $100 or more for this. In the meantime there are a few things that you can do on your own to help the process and then use just a regular priced straightner (about $20) to finish the job.

First remember when you are shampooing you only want to shampoo your scalp, this eliminates your ends from drying out which they definitely do when a heat straightner is used regularly. Next make sure that when you are conditioning your hair then you only want to condition about two inches away from your scalp to the hair ends. You don't need to condition your scalp because this is the most oily area and it also weighs your hair down.

Wrap hair up in a towel and let it sit for a bit (or for as long as time will allow). Before you blow dry your hair you will want to add any straightening products that you buy. My personal favorite is by a hair company called Rusk, they have a few that you can choose from and you will probably spend about $20-25. Let me add that before you add any product make sure to read the instructions and follow them but most importantly make sure that you have towel tried as much of the moisture out as possible.

You also should look into purchasing a boar bristle brush. This is the best for straightening hair and it helps produce a natural shine.

After your hair is towel dried and the product is in you want to concentrate on the roots only and start drying that part first. The ends of your hair will dry out quicker than the roots will. Once your hair is 75% dry you will want to put your hair up in a clip and starting with a section at the nape of your neck you will want to dry each section at a time by pulling straight with the round brush (no pun intended) and pointing your hair dryer in the same direction as your hair grows... down. This will help eliminate flyaways. When you are done you should only have to run a heat straightner through your hair if you think it needs it.

The is the cheapest way to straighten your hair and protect it at the same time. Also keep in mind to only wash your hair every 2-3 days so that you do not damage your hair.

Answer 2

I bought mine about a year ago, and I did some internet research first and talked to someone at a salon. I found out that it is good to get a Tourmaline ceramic flat iron, and I ended up getting a Solia flat iron. I don't know which stores you can purchase them at, but I got mine on this site:

edit: I forgot to add that I have purchased two cheaper straighteners for a lot less in the past, but none of them gave me the straight, silky, shiny hair that the Solia one did. So if you have extreme curly hair, then shelling out a little more money may benefit your hair in the end.

well currently the best straightner out right now is the Chi which ranges about 100 to 200 dollars but if you go to Sally's beauty Store you can get it for only 60 bucks. Another one that is really good is the ones revolon makes. If you got to Sally's Beauty Store then you will find a wide range of straightners! GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 4

Answer 5

if you have the money = chi. if not get the revlon one at target= like 20, it works really well i used to have it until i got the chi. but make sure you get a ceramic kind!! notttt metal. metal will damage ur hair more and the ceramic kind straightens ur hair a lot better

Answer 6

Try the REVLON ones anywhere like target or somethign just make sure it is not plastic get the ones that say htings like ion and stuff like that
REVLON is really the one i use and my hair comes out straight and they work the price is somewhere around like
$12.00 to like $25.00 not that much for something that will last you a while.
Hope this helped

Answer 7

If your hair is really curly and you want it to be straight all the time, you could do a reverse perm. I would recommend having this done by a stylist. You can do it at home but you run the risk of frying your hair.
