My hair stylist suggested I get one. Have you had good results?

I bought an inexpensive one at Target, it is amazing. I have naturally wavy hair. My hair feels fuller after using it, and of course straighter.

I think that's what I'll do - get an inexpensive one and give it a try. Thanks!

I have the Remington Frizz Therapy flat iron, got it from walmart.com. I have curly hair that I usually let dry naturally, but sometimes use the flat iron for a different look.

What's crazy is - my hair isn't curly. My stylist uses it to get it to bend in the right places and tame the fly-aways.

I use a Remington flat iron with Tresemme heat styling spray. I have never felt the need to try a super expensive one because this works well to straighten my thick wavy hair. I own the wider flat iron because it is easier and faster for my hair type.

I have been using a flat iron for probably 10 years. I have an expensive one because I've had no luck with cheapy models. I have thin, fine hair and if the unit doesn't clamp tight enough, my hair will just slide out from between the plates. I had that happen with the first cheap one I bought.

Then I bought a moderate priced unit and my hair snagged through it everytime I used it. Finally, my hairstylist bought me a good one and I paid her for it. I still have that unit to this day.

I use one and love it. I used DD's Chi for a year until she moved out and took it with her. I bought an inexpensive small at Target then the cheapest at Walmart (took a trip forgot mine) and am very pleased with both. I only use it on my bangs and the very top of my head.

Look for floating plates rather the fixed plates. Tourmaline or at least ceramic plates.

Many newer flat-irons have heat settings where you can see the temp. Mine ranges from 240 degrees to 430. Start with the lowest setting, it is very easy to fry your hair. Use a thermal; spray on your hair, first.

I set it at mine at 400 once and my hair got crispy :-(
