CHI Flat Iron/Hair Straightener

The CHI flat iron by Farouk is an excellent hair straightening device. Out of all the different models out there I always come back to this one. The original flat iron which is black with gold plates is available in 1 inch or 2 inch widths. Personally I would recommend the 1 inch plates because even though they are smaller, they allow smaller sections of hair to be done, which generally provides better results. When I say this I mean, when you straighten your hair, if you do it in small increments, your results will come out flatter and straighter. Ultimately giving you the sexy and sultry look you want! This product uses an ergonomic design which ensures good posture for your wrists. Unlike most flat irons, this one has no temperature dial. Even though it doesn’t have a temperature dial it heats up ridiculously quickly, like in a minute or so, and works great! It only has an on and off switch which can be found on the inside of the device. The CHI is on one of the best hair straighteners out on the market and lasts a very long time. I have used other professional devices and none can compare to the life of this one. I have had mine for about 3 years now and not one problem has occurred. Sounds a little weird at first but once you try this product you will see that it does not die out easily! Another great feature of this is that it has a very long cord and a twisting handle. This allows you to move around the room while styling your hair. When you are doing your hair it is often necessary to change your grip during fast paced straightening but with the CHI you can easily change directions without having to reposition your hand on the flat iron. The CHI makes your hair feel silky smooth when you're through with it. It also leaves it nice and shiny which will absolutely be noticed. One of my favorite things about this item is that I always get compliments on how soft and straight my hair looks, which in the end, if you think about it, is great, because that’s exactly what you want. Why not have people complimenting your hair? One problem with buying these items is that most people immediately want to buy the most expensive one out there. This is a common mistake because I have bought expensive models and cheap models and now see that the price is not the main thing you need to look at. You need to read reviews about the life of the item and see if it gets hot enough for what you want to do with it. Once again, this item may not be the priciest on the market but I definitely think it’s the best. It can be bought at most stores for $119.99 but don’t be fooled because you can buy it online at various stores much cheaper and it IS the real deal. I have only bought this product online FYI =)

Babyliss Pro Nano Hair Straightener

The Babyliss Pro Nano is yet another very popular hair straightener. It has a thin, sleek new look and is made of titanium. It is available in 1 inch, 1.5 inch and 1 3/4 inch plates. This flat iron comes in a few different colors and has a temperature gauge/dial on the side. This is a wonderful product because it goes all the way up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Now I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty hot for me. This product is considered one of the best professional hair straighteners and is found on many top-seller lists online. Often this is enough for women to choose to buy an item, but if it's not, I'll give you all the knowledge you need about this item to make a well informed decision. One great feature of this product is that it heats evenly which means that the sections of hair you are styling will all receive an evenly distributed amount of heat. This decreases styling time and allows you to be out the door quickly because you will not have to go over the same section of hair multiple times. Often what happens is that when you are straightening your hair there are certain 'problem' areas that just won't un-crimp which makes us go over the area many times to achieve desired results. This in turn also increases the time spent doing our hair. I think we can all agree that the quicker our hair is styled the happier we will all be. Everyone wants to look good but hates spending hours trying to achieve it. This ceramic hair straightener has a swivel cord which is excellent for those that move around the room a lot while styling. It is also beneficial when switching grips because the cord won't get tangled. I would put this item on my top ten list of best flat irons to buy. This is an excellent product for all different types and lengths of hair. It heats up quick, does the job right and even leaves your hair shiny and smooth. What more can a girl ask for? Unfortunately I cannot comment on the life of this product because I have only owned one. The titanium flat iron I did own did not break or stop heating; I just decided I liked a different brand better, so I don’t know how long they last. This might be something you want to look into if you are considering buying this product. It is available in most stores and retails between $119.99.
