What is the best hair straightener?

I just want one that's effective, simple to use and reasonably priced(about $100 AUS max.).



I don't want one with a wide plates because I want to be able to use it to curl hair as well.



Also I have to be able to purchase it in Australia.



Any suggestions? Price (and the currency the price is in) and any additional details are appreciated.

Thankyou :)



This is might not matter but my hair is not dry or damaged, if anything it swings towards the oilier side. My hair is also quite long and layered.What is the best hair straightener?

I think u can go to a saloon to get ur hair done, as it will be pretty reliable and u can get tips on how to maintain da curls after its done.....well as for straightening creams, i use Wellastrate, which is available in India, though its manufactured in Indonesia, or u can use Velocity. The only difference between these two is, Wellastrate is cream based and comes with a conditioner, but Velocity is powder based and u have to use hot water to apply it.. so in my views wellastrate is easy to use...n it costs approx $5 in Indian currency
One that is done by a hairstylist. You cannot purchase the same products as a stylist
Global beauty is an amazing hair straightner. My college roommate had it last year and I fell in love with it and bought my own one. I also heard that Sedu and Chi hair straightners are good as well. I bought my hair straightner (so did my roommate and my other friends who I have recommended it to) from www.folica.com I think it ships internationally but it's cheap and has reviews so I recommend taking a look at the website.
i absolutely LOVE the Ion hair straighteners. if you take good care of it it makes your hair silky soft. i have suuuuper curly hair and when i use it my hair is so smooth. i havent gotten to buy one yet but i use my friend's sometimes. ION's help keep your hair healthy. :D i dont know how much american vs. aussie dollars are but here they are about 80-130 dollars.
Hey



By far the best straughtners are called 'ghd's' (the new ones) ... only problem is, yep, there about $300 or more



Otherwise there are older versions of the ghd which are still good and cheaper.



hope it helps!!!
