Recommend a good Flat Iron..

**shakara** · 01-18-2007, 06:46 AM

My hair is quite thick and natural and and verrrry kinky! i keep it mostly in braids. however, i try to wear it out for a while before putting it back in braids.
anyway, i need a recommendation for a good flat iron. Sumn between $20-$40 bucks. sumn cheap but good as i do not flat iron often. just need it for occasional use.

what are the benefits of getting a ceramic vs. non ceramic?
what about ions?
does size matter? cuz the sizes all range from bulky to almost palm size and they have sizes on them like 2" and 1".. and i'm sooooooo confused as to what to get.

:frustated

just go to the hair store and get a ceramic ion flat iron... most of them are good... but ceramic flat irons keep your hair straighter... longer

don't get the big/huge ones or the smallest ones... get a medium sized one... they are much easier to handle

My advise: stick with ceramic irons. They do less damage to your hair than the non-ceramic ones. The only thing I know about ionic or ions is, it helps prevent frizz and static. Not so informed about it.

I would recommend you spend a little more than $40 on your ceramic flat iron and look for a good quality one. I always read the reviews on www.drugstore.com before I buy my beauty products.
