curly hair-flaitirons, smoothing products

I have been wanting to get a flat iron for awhile and there are so many out
there can any one suggest a reasonably priced one and good quality.
Regular ceramic vs tremoline?   I have recently tried the Maxiglide and
was pretty impressed, Is the Sedu that much better? Also smoothing
products, I saw in another profile the Nexcuss Emergencee was
recommended. Anything else? I have fairly fine hair but it is extremely
curly, I also highlight it. I'd like to use something for styling my hair both
ways, leaving it airdry and curly and when I would use the flat iron. Your
help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I suggest the Sedu. It is ceramic/tourmaline. I haven't used the Maxiglide so I don't know how it compares. Nexuss Emergencee isn't a smoothing product it is a protein treatment. I use Biosilk Silk Therapy but some people don't like it because it has alcohol in it. Be sure to use a heat protectant. Either use a spray like VO5 Miracle Mist or something with cones. Depending on how curly your hair is you might want to blow dry it first to get better results.
