Which straightener should I buy to augment my chemically straightened hair (more details... please r

I understand this question is asked frequently, but I wanted to make sure I get the correct solution for my hair type. I have fine, curly hair naturally. The last time I straightened my hair chemically with a type of straightening gel was well over a month ago (perhaps two). I probably will do this again. However, I am considering purchasing a straightening iron to help keep my hair straight for a longer period of time. Is this a good idea? Also, if I do use a straightening iron, what products should I use to keep it healthy? I already have a number of FrizzEase products such as the serum, spray, devolumizing gel, secret weapon creme, straightening shampoo and conditioner, and deep conditioner... as you can see, I have a lot from that line of products. Will these suffice? Are there any products I should use directly before using the iron (or after)? Finally, if I do use an iron, how often is too often for it to be used? And some of these irons get very hot; is it easy to burn yourself?

You should definitely go with the Japanese straighteners. Yes, they're expensive but very much worth it - take it from a curly cue hair stylist. As for the irons...if it's less than $100 then don't buy it! For real. You want an ionic, true ceramic plate flat iron. You can find them at places like Ulta, Pure Beauty, etc. Just be cautious when reading the descriptions b/c they try to trick you into believing they're real ceramic plates when in fact, they're just ceramic-coated plates.

The best flat iron is a Chi flat iron, it will cost you about $120-$150 at a salon but it's well worth it. I have tried a lot of flat irons and the Chi is the only one that gives me the results I need, it heats up much hotter than any flat iron you can get elsewhere

I have to agree with the other replys, CHI is the best. I have gone threw two different irons and finally got a CHI for a gift. If i had to choose between my husband and my CHI flat iron...well he would'nt like the choice i make!

Also, if you find that the CHI oil is too thick and not giving enough coverage for your hair type then try Rush Sheer Brilliance oil. It's not made specifically for irons but has'nt caught my hair on fire yet. I straighten my hair every 3-4 days and if you don't use an oil or heat protector then you will fry it. Lots of dead and split ends.

Try to get the CHI iron, they also have a 1 year warranty and support lines for help with hair questions.

You should always go for a ceramic straightening iron,they work the best but are always a tad expensive
