QuoteReplyTopic: Electric hair straightener Posted: January 18 2000 at 11:52am
I have long wavy, coarse hair and am thinking of buying one of those Conair or Babybliss hair straighteners (like a crimper). I have heard terrible reports about them damaging your hair and other reports that make your hair look fantastic.
Has anyone out there usesd one and if so, can they recommend one. Some people say the steam ones are the best and others say they make your hair frizzy.
Thank you for your time.

I have the Conair and use it on occaision. In my humble opinion, these devices, as with any other hair product or electric hair appliance, are best used in moderation. I have not had any bad side effects, but I do not use it every day. If I do not blowdry my hair, it is very curly. If I blow it dry without a heat-activated anti-humidity product, it will be semi-straight, but frizzy and will curl up by mid-day. When I use the conair, I am sure my hair is COMPLETELY DRY before I use it, and I make sure that I have used a heat-protective product on my hair such as Citre Shine or (lately) TIGI control freak. It does what it says it will do..my hair is straight and shiny.
Hi I used the conair striahgting iron too.Im a 19 male wiht a wave in my hair but its still pretty straight anyway i wanted perfectly straight hair and the first time i used it it made my hair perfectly straight and i got addicted to it and used it like everydfay for bout 3 weeks sometimes twice a day or more.ever since my hairt has been breakin at the tips and it seems thinner too,i used it bout 6 mts ago,if u sue it not near as much as i did im sure itll work bout i totally abused it and now im worried im gonna have some probs cuz of it.
