Anyone know any good hair straightners?

i have really really thick hair. does anyone know of a straightner that would work for thick hair? please help!!Anyone know any good hair straightners?
other than a flat iron. . .i can only think of a gentle or childrens strenght chemicla relaxer. Have you tried speaking with a hair care professional for your type of hair??Anyone know any good hair straightners?
Ceramic flat irons are miracle workers. I have fine hair but its fairly dry. With my new flat iron fully ceramic not ceramic plated my hair has a natural shine to it, the guy says that ';the flat irons heats the hair from the inside which brings out the natural oils in the hair which gives it a wonderful shine'; **in a french accent haha**. I dont even use any glossers or sheens anymore I love it because i wanted shiny hair but with it being fine they would weigh my hair down. I don't have that problem anymore. It was the best $100 I spent in a long time...well my boyfriend spent! haha.
Go to folica.com! They are amazing. I buy all of my products on that website! It only takes like 3 days to get to you to. I would recommend a HAI or GHD straightener. A little pricey but totally worth it!
MAXIGLIDE BY MAXIUS. $79
Helen of Troy is a really good brand they have ceramic which is better for your hair or gold plated. Ceramic is more exspensive but they range anywhere from $40-$60. Trust me its worth it! Hope this helps :)
I have this ceramic flat iron by Vidal Sassoon that works miracles! You can use it while your hair is wet and it softens your hair and straightens it way better than the metal kind. All my friends (we're all black) have used mine and after they did, ran out and bought one. I would also recommend a chemical relaxer that is made with olive oil called Organic Root Stumulator. Softens, relaxes your hair if its curly.
Well you can try the PHILIPS Geometricks 6 in 1 HP4696. It is really affordable (I bought mine at SGD59.00 several years ago) and it consists of 6 different styling attatchments that suits according to your needs-- from straightening to different types of curls.. Its pretty durable too =)





However, if you will like to concentrate on straightening your hair alone and do not mind to spend a little more $$, you may opt for a professional salon hair straightener. My mom bought this straightener from some salon retailers-- Inno Magic Flat Iron at SGD200++ and it is a Korean brand (Korea is known for its technology. I personally prefer to use Korean and Japanese products as they are more customised to suit Asian skin). You may find out more about this straightner from www.oohiro.co.kr (tel: 82-2-574-5188; fax: 82-2-574-5186).





However there are alternative solution to getting straight hair instead of using heat-stylers which may damage your hair in the long run and are a hassle to use to some lazy people (including me). Alternatively, you may try getting your hair rebonded with regular treatments at a good Hair Salon (eg Jean Yip, Super Cuts etc) or you may use hair serums/products that try to tame your frizz.





You can try using SunSilk's Silky Straight series (it works for me because my hair is naturally straight) or you may try Lucido-l (a pretty popular Japanese range of hair products). Lucido-l offers some hair products that help to straighten your hair-- Lucido-l silky straight hair wax, Lucido-l hair spray smooth coat, Lucido-l hair foam straight, Lucido-l styling jelly straight and Lucido-l Silky Straight Serum =)





Hope this information helps =)
get a CHI straightner


they work greatttt :)
the CHI is the BEST. period! i have medium length medium thick hair... my mom has really thick wavy hair.. and we both use %26amp; LOVE the CHI!!
I had the same problem! I got some cheap Charles Worthington ones which were the best straighteners i had (unfortunately they broke)...


apart from that GHD's are pretty fantastic too, go for the wider ones which have a heat dial, so you can pick the exact temp.


I'd also recommend using serums and de-frizzers, it helps loads when straightening to get hair looking thinner and more controlled.
nothing in a bottle. get a flattening iron, a narrow one. part the hair in small sections and iron it out. its time consuming, but me being black, i have to do it eveytime i wash and dry it.





DO NOT IRON WHEN WET!!!


EVER!!!
