I don't know why your friend told you not to buy an expensive one, but I say never buy a cheap one, they will cause your hair to damage. The only thing you should use is 100% ceramic or tourmaline ceramic plates, which usually cost more. Drugstore irons are usually just metal plates that have a thin ceramic coating. This may cause hot spots that can damage your hair. I have thin frizzy damage prone hair and I use a sedu because it has even heat and won't snag my hair.

I hate to say it but if your hair is that bad you should not be using a cheap one. THe only people that can get away with using cheap ones is people with very healthy strong hair in the first place. The only one that MAYBE is good is the new one with teflon coating, I think is a remington. Do NOT get a conair, it will make your hair worse. And your mom is right about the wet to straight, you should never use any kind of iron on wet hair, especially damaged hair, without breaking or weakenin hair more. You will have to decide if you want to damage your hair more or just save your money for a better one. One option is to buy a generic Chi at Sally beauty supply for less.

Whatever you decide, you MUST use a heat protectant product to protect your hair from further damage/drying out, try Matrix iron smoother, or tresemme heat tamer, or any other heat protectant product before you style. Good luck!

The one I have I got from a beauty supply store. I would check out their selection 1st. The ones at WalMart and Meijer never work well for me because they don't get hot enough. I have the Helen of Troy and it works great. In my opinion, buying a good one is worth the money. Good Luck!

The only great ones are the ones with ceramic plates. It will straighten and take out the frizz. Not to mention they get hotter than the cheap ones so they straighten faster. They are really worth the investment. If you can't convince your mom to buy one then see if you can raise some money yourself (babysitting or doing extra chores) maybe if you save half the money she might be willing to put in the $40 she was willing to spend on the other one. If you have to get a cheap one then make sure you get a balm to put on your hair first that is a smoother and helps with the heat damage to your hair. It will help make it silkier.

The sedu is the best in my opinion. Remember you get what you pay for. Cheaper ones do not do as well as a job and you are out shopping for another one spending more money.

if you want a cheap and good hair straightener, then get a conair. This one works very well:

http://www.conair.com/professional-insta...

they're normally about 25 dollars. They have a wide surface and a comb so you can straighten more at once and the comb makes the hair really smooth. another thing to use before you straighten is V05 styling products and there is a pre straightening product that is only about 3 dollars and makes hair really smooth.

i have the remington wet to straight and i love it. my mom uses it too. and she has super puffy frizzy curly hair and it gets her hair straight and its really nice if you dont have time to blow dry. i really suggest that you get it. my friend has really curly hair and uses it and she straightens her hair fast. it heats up in 60 seconds max its really nice

good luck

Hi there,

I've also fought with finding a good flat iron. First most important thing - there is a HUGE difference between a drug store brand iron and a professional-type one. Once you try the professional one, you'll never go back.

Second, I'm not sure what you mean by horrible hair. If it's highly textured, you just need to get a flat iron that heats up higher - some go up to 410 degrees F. You never want to go too hot, but stubborn hair, especially textured really needs the extra heat. If your problem is frizz, always use the flat iron with a flat iron product. A really good one is called FHI Hot Sauce. (costs way less than the Chi products). It moisturizes the hair and protects from the iron.

In terms of the actual iron, here are a couple of things to look for. The newest technology is anything with Tourmaline in it. These are crushed up gem stones that give off a negative charge so that they neutralize the hair's positive charges so that you're frizz free. Tourmaline also is combined with ceramic far-infrared technology to leave hair even smoother. A really good, semi-inexpensive tourmaline iron is called the Cricket StraightCrazy Tourmaline Ceramic Straightening Iron. It's a little bit over your $40 price range at $54, but the extra $14 is well worth it. If you're absolutely set at the under $40 range, try the 2" Flat Iron by Hot Tools (a divison of Helen of Troy), which is only $36. Hot Tools and Helen of Troy products work really well - they're kind of like an intermediate product between drug store and something that they'd use at a salon.

Now, that being said, if you and your mom really want to splurge and get the best iron that will last for years and years, check out irons by FHI heat. There are two kinds, Technique Series and Platform Series. The technique has a fixed temperature of 410 degrees F (super hot) and is awesome for textured hair. These cost less than $80. The Platform series have adjustable temperature that ranges from 140-450 degrees F, which I think is better so that you can find the heat that's best for you. These start at $144. BUT, once you try it, you won't even consider using anything else.

Hope this helps...good luck!
