Sedu and Solia flat irons are the top selling ones in america!

I have had a solia for 2 years and its been through EVERYTHING. ive stepped on it and dropped it on tile over 100 times and it still works and i ALWAYS break mine. you can get them on folica.com

HAI is another great brand. I have the regular size one which I gave to my Mom a few years back when I chopped my hair off and now I use the twig one which is amazing for my short hair. They also com ewith a waranty.
I think in the long run, it's worth it to dish out the money. I've tried one of those hot tools or whatever tools from Sally's once and it was such a piece of crap. I don't think you realize how terrible they are until you use a good one.

another vote for ghd
after the sad sad death of mine

i have swiftly ordered a new pair

bebs · 10-23-2006, 11:08 PM #30 (**permalink**)

I too have the HAI I love it.. I've had it for more then a year and a half, its the blue plated one on www.folica.com and I've droped it traveled with it, steped on it sat on it, it still works. I've been told with any flat iron you want to replace them once every 2 to 2 and a half years. is this true? or just when they die?

madkitty · 11-01-2006, 03:14 PM #32 (**permalink**)

Sweet..another lemming now...

laurennoel · 11-06-2006, 11:51 AM #35 (**permalink**)

the chi iron is the holy grail of all irons.. i've used many (i'm a hairdresser) and this is the only one i'll use, and recommend. no joke

Kiwi Girlie · 12-01-2006, 03:57 AM #36 (**permalink**)

GHD's are the way to go, I've used so many different types, But GHD's glide through your hair and it feels silky soft instead of dry and horrible :P

They are a bit pricey but worth every penny, nothing gets my hair as straight as my GHD.

They also release them in hot pink/baby pink for breast cancer week every year, which look way cool.

CONAIR INSTANT HAIR STRAIGHTENER!!! This straightener is absolutely wonderful. I have very curly hair and it makes my hair sooo nice. SO many people compliment my hair; it's great!

You can get it at Target for only $23.98!

MACtastic · 12-04-2006, 03:09 AM #38 (**permalink**)

I vote for the T3. It has tourmaline in it, which produces negative ions. The negative ions smooth the hair cuticle and actually helps each strand to hold on to more moisture. The T3 dryers are great too, they cut your drying time in half. The T3 products cost quite a bit, but they are definitely worth it!

HAI (Hair Art and Info) all the way baby!!! I have the HAI Convertable (with blue plates) and I LOVE it. These are great products and I've seen many professional stylists use their flatirons. They have a good warranty and my favorite part is they come in different sizes from the HAI 2 that has 2 1/4 inch wide plates, to the Twig that's 3/8" wide plates. Here's the website

HTH someone! I love my HAI!

Another vote for Sedu. I have very thick curly hair and the sedu works wonders on me.

mistella · 12-10-2006, 10:45 PM #41 (**permalink**)

I love my SOLIA. It's $88 on Folica so it qualifies for free shipping. http://www.folica.com/Solia_Tourmalin_d1558.html <--there's over 2000+ customer reviews for this product and it got 4 1/2 stars, check out the reviews. It heats up in less than 20 seconds and makes my hair super smooth. A new cute pink one just came out!!

I have a solia and luv it so far!

3 letters... G-H-D!!!

IMO, Chi is the best. if you are on a budget the jade irons are good too. Sally carries one and I think it's about $70. if you must use a ceramic one, use a good straightener like silk strate from biosilk. It helps keep hair shiny and from getting fried. This works pretty well for me and my hair is super curly.

Dizzy · 04-29-2007, 04:47 PM #45 (**permalink**)

I use Paul Mitchell's "The Smoothing Iron" and I love it. I've tried CHI before- it was nice if all you want to do with it is straighten your hair, it's perfect for that. But I didn't like that it didn't have a heat setting, and taht it wasn't a "swivel" cord. Paul Mitchell's has both of those, which makes it easier to curl my hair with it and straighten it without damaging my hair from too much heat.

Make sure that your iron is completely ceramic though, not just ceramic coated like Hot Tools/Wigo flat irons- the ceramic rubs off after a while, then you're just putting hot metal on your hair.

I vote for Solia, too

But if you want to save 30-40 bucks, IMO any of the newer Jilbere models are comparable to the hi-tech expensive irons.

I like my Solia better just b/c of the technology of the plates. Folica.com is a great site to do your research.

Good luck.

xiahe · 05-09-2007, 02:03 AM #47 (**permalink**)

lol i just use revlon's straightener. i really like it!

*MaC WhoRe* · 05-15-2007, 01:16 PM #48 (**permalink**)

where can i buy a ghd?

SingFrAbsoltion · 05-15-2007, 07:57 PM #49 (**permalink**)

The first one I ever had was a Solia and it was amazing. Then I got a Sedu but I don't like it as much.

MAC_BABE · 05-16-2007, 11:10 AM #50 (**permalink**)

I've been selling ceramic hair irons for 3 years now and I can deffinately say I love my her styler. You can find them at your malls and even bargain them for as low as 80 bucks. We sell them for 120 but we go lower sometimes. They also have really cute and fun colors.

I've straightened EVERY SINGLE type of hair you can imagine and this works PERFECT for everyone. I promise.
