How to verify a good hair straightener? and which brand is good?

I have a Nicki Clarke straightener and its really good - before this I had a well known make and it was expensive but never got my hair as sleek as the NC one I have now which wasnt half the price given who the name is as well.How to verify a good hair straightener? and which brand is good?
GHD - by far the best and worth every penny. heats up in no time and doesn't damage hair - just make sure you put a hair protector product in your hair first.How to verify a good hair straightener? and which brand is good?
Are you talking Chemical or flat iron?


I have several flat irons. My hair is short, so I use the smaller Conair one. I also have a wet/dry that is very good.


I have heard that some of the irons will take the color out of your hair if you use a color....


Try searching for reviews on the one that you like.


You could also try a 'relaxer' that will help get your hair straighter and won't damage it. I am Caucasian, but have used the Natural-Laxer Plus (NO CHEMICALS) and it works good. Makes your hair soft and is also a great facial. It is a herb mixture with sahara sand.. Treasured Locks sells it...
CHI is probably the best on the market but far from cheap. A friend of mine paid $175 for one at a hairshow and that was wholesale.





You definetely only want a ceramic straightener, they work better and won't damage the hair as bad as a cheap Wal-Mart one.





When I straigten a clientes hair I like the thinner ones (approx. 1';) over the large heavier ones, they are much easier to handle and can get it done in 1/2 the time.





Don't forget to use a good straigtening product when using a straightenen. SLEEK by Matrix is awesome!!!!!





Check Ebay for a Straightener, they have them at great deals because I've seen them.





GOOD LUCK!!
