Best straightener to keep hair straight for a long time?

As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons/hair straighteners, including Sedu, Hai, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc. You should get a Professional hair straightener, they style much better and faster, and most importantly, they protect your hair.



In terms of performance:



The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, Ghd and Chameleon. These are top of the line professional brands



Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell,



Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss



Below Average: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.



=== Flat Iron Hair Straighteners FAQ ======



Q: What size should I choose?



A: For most people, 1';, 1-1/4'; or 1.5'; are all good choices. If you have very thick, coarse, long or ethic hair, bigger size (1.5'; or 2';) will save you some time. If you have thin, fine hair, get a smaller one (1'; or 3/4';).



Q: What temperature should I should on my hair?



A: Based on my expereince, 380F is the average temperature to use. If you hair is thick and coarse, bump it up a bit, if you hair is fine or overprocessed, start it at somewhere 300F, and try it. If the setting does not work well for you, increase a bit until you get a setting that works well for you but does not burn your hair. Trial and error.

Best straightener to keep hair straight for a long time?
Obviously everyone will say ghd mainly because it's the one most hairdressers use, it doesn't take long to heat up and it keeps your hair fairly straight for a while. If you can't afford one as there usually about 300$ there is one not sure what it's called but the initals are VS it's like vedal sassoon or something. My sister just bought one and it is definitely better I think - You can change the temperature depending on the thickness of your hair - with the ghd you can't and it only takes about a minute to heat up.Best straightener to keep hair straight for a long time?
i use chi, the one with the red velvet and gold plates.

i have naturally straight hair but the straightener works really well.


I have an ion straightner and it works amazingly (: its sorta expensive but not as expensive as the chi and it works just as well as one. Mine was around 90 dollars. But it also moiturizes your hair as well and its ceramic
i heard that Japenese hair straigheners do the trick... however, don't use them to much since it'll make your hair really dry and brittle
