NPR: Talk to me about flat-irons

mbg8r · October 2009

Ok, I'm finally past the denial - it has taken 5 years - that my hair will go back to normal from the frizzy wavy mess it is now. I hate it. I used to have shiny, straight easy to manage hair and now it's a big fuzzy mess. I've never owned a flat-iron (and truthfully I'm a little scared I'm going to burn myself), but I can't take it any more. Anything in particular I should look out for, or avoid?? Any tips?

TIA!

i love mine - it's a ceramic one that I got at a salon. Make sure you get one that has an auto shutoff!

how much do you want to spend?

I'd check folica.com - they have good reviews and prices. If you're willing to spend around $100, the Sedu is really good. If you want to spend more, the GHD is the best thing I've ever owned. I bought mine 2 years ago, and it's seriously awesome [still!].

Spend the money and get a good one. Otherwise you will go insane

I bought a Chi years ago and still love it, although I have no time anymore for those details unless we have a date night or something.

Thanks ladies, I knew you'd point me in the right direction. Folica is a great site, thanks Eclairs!

I used to have a Chi (loved it) and then I remembered that my hair is already super straight so there's no point in wasting my time with a flat iron. So I donated it to SIL.

I have a Chi but I heard a Sedu is good too. Good Luck!!
