Okay, so I have pretty thick, naturally curly hair. It takes me forever to straighten it. Outside or relaxing it or Ionic, which straightener would you recommend? I'm looking for one that can help me get it done faster. Now it takes me an hour to an hour and a half. Thanks.

I've had the same black Revlon straightener for 4 years. I've dropped it, and my little sister uses it everyday. It's wide to grab more hair. And strightens my think wavy/curly hair as flat as a board.
Don't buy the wet to dry one. That one sucks. I have it and it doesn't work very well at all. You're hair would be too thick.

If I were you I would purchase a straightener that you can use while your hair is wet.
It will save you a lot of time because when your hair is damp you can fit more hair in the straightener.
I have one like this and just a warning: Don't freak out if it steams when you use it on wet hair. It's ok! lol

I have really thick wavy hair and I use those Wet2Straight straighteners you can get at walmart for maybe $25? They aren't the greatest but they do me good. You can do it when you're hair is wet which is a plus but I don't do it often.
It'll steam when you do it but its normal because if it didn't steam that would mean your hair is burning.=]

If you're looking for something cheap, Conair has some that are about $25 but I can't swear that they're fast.
If you're looking for something that's super fast, CHI is great.
If you're looking for something permanent, try getting a Japanese perm. But they're around $500. They last for a year or so.

if you're looking for a permanant solution, consider the Japanese straightening system, aka thermal reconditioning. You'll end up with sleek and bone-straight hair. No need to blow dry or use a flat iron in the morning. Just let your hair air dry and it'll try straight. Refer to the site source for more info. http://www.glamouredited.com/hair/Japanese_hair_straightening_system.html

Try the Bed Head straighteners. They work REALLY good.

the CHI. it's amazing, a lot of hair dressers use them. they reach a super hot temperature, so you only have to go over your hair once.
