I am in the market for a new hair straightener. I, unthinkingly, plugged in my north american hair straightener on the other side of the world (different voltage) and it had a mini explosion.

So now I need to get a new one! A lot has changed since I got my CHI Farouk 5 years ago. I want the absolute best hair straightener, or one of the top ones, currently in the market.

That means NO Babyliss. It's alright, but CHI and GHDs are better. There is also now an FHI??

There's a new one out called Sedu??

They have a lot more variety here so I don't know what one to get. Any recommendations on what is superb right now? I should get something that has international voltage .... very important.

belle

oho. I sometimes barrow my friends Sedu iron, I really like it. I have really wavy hair and it makes them flat and soft. con being the price.

FHI is even more expensive, don't have any personal exp with it tho.

ashtray

I am also looking for hair straighteners but unlike the initiator of this thread I am looking for the cheapest one in the market that does the job i.e. straightens the hair out. I dont care if it is Sedu or Seduce, CHI or HE and SHE.

Any recommendations on what is cheapest right now?

Adrasteia

You should care bout the quality ashtray, using a bad straightner is going to result in split ends and once you get 'em they are so hard to get rid of

Mehnaz

lol ashtray, I want the BEST out there.

I used to use the cheapo Conair one and it really did my hair in. At the time, that was all that was available. Thank goodness for CHI ....

Belle, I will check out the Sedu. It's just over $100 here, which is excellent considering I got my CHI 5 years back for over $200.

Mrs Saieen

any drugstore wlil carry the cheapest ones

Femme Fatale

I have a sedu and I absolutely love it, much more than my CHI which stopped working last year and then started working again once I got my Sedu but I liked the latter way too much to return it. Get anything that is ionic and has tourmaline in it. Even CHI now has an ionic one now. But if you are planning to buy a sedu I say its agood choice.

p.s. will reply to ur pm once the gazillion things going wrong have gone right or at least better.

p.p.s. If its your husbands money then get the priciest one out there. We don;t want him to get comfortable thinking you're low maintenance or anything you know

Adrasteia

Femme is CHI or Sedu any, better than GHD??

I like the way GHD leaves every strand so silky

Also i think it depends on the shampoo and conditioner you are using.

When I use Treseme, the end product is not that good, its just average.
When I wash my hair with DeLorenzo, its like I just stepped out of a salon.

I want a CHI or sedu

Mrs Saieen

Are hte cheaper ones OK if u use them occasionally (2-4 times a month)?
I would think that the really pricey ones are better if you use them very frequently..
im not too thrilled w/ the one i have, but cant xactly afford a CHI/Sedu right now....

belle

There you go

Mehnaz

lol Belle ... I'm sure ashley has already thought of that.

Sedu ... ok, I luved my CHI to death. I had a little cry when it died. We were together for 5 years. I guess now it is time to try something new. I will look into the Sedu.

Aaana

i actually know a girl who use to use tht..

C00l-m|nded

I know such a girl too...and she used to say that the hair straighteners don't work well...while a clothes iron is perfect for this purpose...

Adrasteia

I did research on CHI, Sedu and GHD.

GHD and Sedu seem to be winning where as CHI is something from the past.

Price wise GHD is way expensive than Sedu and they both basically are the same thing except I think GHD doesnt have tourmaline in it where as Sedu does.

Khumar

can you guys suggest one that isn't a $100 or more. Kinda broke right now

Ira

Khumar i have never used those exp ones so not sure how good the end product is. I very rarely straighten my hair and when i do, i use Wigo Jade and it does a fantastic job for me. If i remember correctly it cost me like 36 bucks at ULTA. It boasts it has real jade plates . WHatever it has works very well for me so i havent thought abt investing in a more exp one esp when i dont use it very often. you could try this as a cheaper option if you like.

Aaana

i bought my straightner from ebay..and i thought i abt chi..but when i got it..to my suprise it was called..schi..and now i am wondering
wht is SCHI..
number 2 chi?

ashtray

Femme, can I have the CHI that you are not using anymore? kisi ka bhala ker dou sawab milay ga.

Minerva

hopefully, I will also learn a thing or two from this thread, since I am also planning to get one for myself.

Now, people with few and far between hair will go for the cheaper one since they don't have much to lose get the best!
