ghd,sedu,solia.

conair sucks dont get it.


remington is good but if your budget is 40.00 i dont think you could get a good one for that price





go to www.folica.com and go to flat irons/straighteners and pick


the one that you want.What's the best straightener?
You're not really going to be able to get a good straightener for under $40 x: But I'd say the best under $40 is something from Conair, or Remington Wet2Straight. Oh - and do NOT straighten your hair while it is damp. You'll fry your hair x: Just use a heat protectant and a straightening cream and you should be fine ^_^
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.
