I have curly hair that I straighten (stick straight) everyday.
Right now I use a Hot Tools (non-ceramic) flat iron. The overall result is fine but I''m planning on asking for a better (ideally faster & less damaging) one for xmas. And ceramic is best, right? I just need help finding a good flat iron, hopefully under/around $60-ish (??) Thank you so much!

xonatalie-
I,too, was using a hot tools flatiron, and I was happy only because I had not tried anything else. My mother-in-law let me try her Chi ceramic flatiron-WOW...It is the best. I cannot tell you how many people have commented on how good my hair has been looking. Sure, it is more than the $60.00 range, but it is DEFINATELY well worth it. I have been searching online for one for myself, and you can find them on many sights for approx. $108 incl. shipping! Take my advice and go with the Chi!

Before buying, I suggest you guys go to a reputable beauty supply store in your area and ask what they would recommend. I researched mine. I was told that although Chi is good, there are a lot out there that is as good but cheaper. Hai2 is one of them. I am currently using HairArt and so is my mom. I bought hers for $69.99 and mine was $99.99. Don't take my word though, try to ask around. A lot of good beauty supply store will have them for demonstration. They will let you try them on your hair.

This reply might be a bit too late, but I use the True Ceramic Pro flat iron. It's 119.00, but totally worth every penny. I could never get my ALREADY straight hair stick straight, but I can now. I love it.

ya i use the chi and my hair is like amazing!!! i love it! it makes my hair really straight! If u really want straight hair and none of these straighteners work, u should try a TR process on ur hair... i got the CHI and i love it!!! but if not i would totally reccomend the CHI straightener, and ya they r expensive, but u get what u pay for and this is 100% worth it!
