Best Hair Straighteners and Products?

What's the best hair straightener out there that I could buy at the drugstore? oh and any suggetsted products to reduce frizz or help keep hair straighter longer? I have thick black wavy hair





I've tried Revlon (the one that's really thing and blck) and Ceramic(i think) (its the one that is big and heavy)





sorry bout the undescriptive descriptionts! lol :DBest Hair Straighteners and Products?
You need a high heat (with adjustable heat settings), ceramic tourmaline or an Ionic flat iron. if you have short hair you should get a 1 inch and if you have long hair a 1 1/2 to 2 inch plate width. You can find a really good selection at Sally Beauty Supply. Most people are probably going to recommend Chi, and that's a good choice but you don't have to pay THAT much if you don't want to. just look for the features I told you about. Also, Sallys has a GVP (Generic Value Products) CHI flat iron for about $60 i think. It's the generic version of chi and i'm sure it works just as good for cheaper.


The reason you are going to want Ceramic tourmaline or Ionic is because the plates on those flat irons heat your hair from the inside out and that straightens your hair more effectively and also causes less damage.


The cheap flat irons with metal plates just simply burn your hair with heat and they heat from the outside in, causing more damage to the outside and the inside of the hair (cortex) isn't getting heated enough to keep it straight. Make sense? lol.


As far as products...make sure you get some heat protection spray and spray it on each section of hair before applying the flat iron. Another product that might help it stay straight is a straightening balm which you can get at wal-mart or anywhere else. you put the balm on towel dried hair and let your hair dry, then flat iron.


hope this helps. any other questions, feel free to email me. :)Best Hair Straighteners and Products?
the expensive ones are good theyre like over 80 dollars though. the one that hair stylist use is GHD (i saw it on the counter at a really good hair salon) and people say chi's are great, never tried it but i wouldnt want one. i have a solia, which is reallllyyy good i like it a lottt. u can find them all on this website: www.folica.com they have tops and the best irons. that where i got mine from.
I think you should try a conair straightener





%26amp; for reducing frizz, try garnier anti-frizz hairspray for over all hold
