so i live in the tropics and need a hair straightener for my curly frizzy hair... any suggestions on what iron i would enjoy...
i want my hair to stay straight for 3 days or so :O)Help Me pick A hair Flat Iron?
Try to go for a salon brand straighteners
CHI is one of the bigger brands, but personally i like FHI, Sedu and Solia better.

FHI:

GHD is the best, but it also costs 2 times more than the other irons that work almost just as well:

To get the long lasting results you want, spritz your hair evenly with heat spray, brush it through and section it off.
Straighten your hair in 1 inch sections, and it should keep your hair pretty straight for 2-3 days.
I recommend the Redken Heat Spray if you can splurge:

or the BEYOND THE ZONE heat spray at Sally's if your on a budget:

i suggest ...Farouk CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Hairstyling Iron

The Farouk Chi Ceramic Flat Iron is the #1 Selling Iron Today!The Chi Iron uses the power of positive ions to help repel particles from the air so your hair stays cleaner and healthier. Its 1 inch plates produce negative ions while sealing the cuticles and locking in your hair color creating a silky salon touch to any look. This iron is so versatile that it can also curl or flip your hair.Features: - Reaches 410 Degrees (Non Adjustable Temp Control)- On/Off Switch on the Inside to Prevent Accidental Turn Off- Approximately 6 to 8 Seconds for it to Heat Up- 10 Foot Swivel Cord to Prevent Tangling Up while Using
get a special spray that will keep you from getting split ends or damaged hair. get a conditioner to prevent that to i like ausie personally. spray the stuff i was talking about in your hair while its wet and use a hair dryer to dry it after you towel dry it as much as possible. get the tiny flat iron and little chunks of hair at a time and then brush it together and then go over it again with the straightener and then brush it again and look for parts that dont look straight or satisfy you and go over them. and when your done use a little hair spray to hold it you might want some extra strength since you live in a tropical area. it wont stay straight for 3 days like that but it should do pretty good.
anyone will work, but may not stay for 3 days,( plus that is soooooo unhealthy and dirty), You should get a ceramic flat iron so that there is not too much damage, plus you need one that gets hot enough to get out the curls the first time on each stroke. I would get a CHI flatiron. They are a little expensive but they work really good and last a long time, and they are ceramic)
Ok.
You have to understand that name brand has nothing to do with the product itself. The name or company is just selling itself to the consumer.
Technique is whats important. Try using a flat iron that has one side a comb and the other a flat iron.
A really good iron are the ones that are gold plated.
Make sure that your hair is damp then add in leave in conditioner, then straighten your hair right away.
To keep your hair straight for days, you HAVE to wrap your hair to your head, technical terms, Doobi. After that is done, use a thin doo-rag, or scarf to keep it in place when sleeping.
Check online on how to make the Doobi.
Best Of Wishes!

GET THE CHI IRON! Its a bit expensive but I have had it for 7 years now and it is totally worth it. The heat never gives out or cools so it is worth every penny and you won't go looking for another!
Chi is probably the best brand of flat irons around. a lot of professional use them. but if you wash your hair within the 3 days, its going to go back to the way it normally is, and you'll have to flat iron it again.
i have a BaByliss and it is amazing, i have really thick, frizzy, curly hair and it works great :)
The chi.
What I got though is conair and i chose the one that is slightly curve so it can curve and straighten.. (depending of how you hold it)
I recommend you get something like the Chi, Bed Head Rockstar staightener, or Infinity if your hair gets frizzy.. though the prices will be like $50-$120..
revlon hair flat iron is good and effective
Remington wet to straight... its only going to stay straight until you wash it though.
V-Sassoon
I recommend you the Chi
