Flat irons

[EmnJoe]

What kind of flat irons do ya'll use for your hair? I'm not sure what kind to buy and I have very curly hair that I would like to straighten.

This one seems to work pretty good for me. :shrug:

From a recent recommendation of another forumite, I just bought the CHI GF1001 made by Farouk Systems. It was rather pricey ($94.00 from amazon.com), but it's a nice iron. It has ceramic coated plates and a swivel cord (which comes in handy).

You nut!

I have a Chi and I love it. They are expensive though. I think I paid $140 for mine but its worth it.

My g/f who does hair in Va Beach says that if you're going to buy one, and you can afford it, spring for a tourmaline iron.

I haven't used a flat iron on my hair in some time ... they fry the hell out of it, and I don't like the stick-straight-ends look on me.

I don't like the stick-straight-ends look on me.

Besides, anyone who knows anything about fashion knows that look is sooooo 5 minutes ago.

That's okay though if you're running on central, mountain or pacific time.

I don't care so much about what someone else thinks (unless they wanna come do my hair for me every day); I just prefer a softer look vs. the hard-edge line of the stick-straight look. Some people can pull it off though. :shrug:
