BaByliss Pro

I love this hair dryer, have had about 4 over the yrs. It is heavy but super powerful. Will never go back to cheapie drugstore ones again...I pay about $60 for mine, I like to have a back-up. Mine lasts about 3+ yrs on average, I use it daily..Before paying $500(insane$$) for a trendy one, I'd give this one a try!

This is a really great flat iron! Had mine for 4 years & I'm gonna get a new one ONLY cuz the paint has started to peel off on the sides & it doesn't look as pretty as it used to. BUT after 4 years, it still works as good as it ever did. My hair is thick, curly, coarse & frizzy. And even in the disgusting NYC summers, using this flat iron, my hair is totally straight, with absolutely no poof or frizz. It does sometimes wave up a bit when it's very damp or humid, but a quick touch-up takes care of it. I don't even need to use much product. Yeah, this iron is that good! One thing I'll say is it must be cleaned after every use. No other flat iron I've ever had attracts whatever oil or anything else in my hair than this one. So be sure to clean it (very simple -- with paper towel & dish-washing liquid) & it should last a long time. This was way better for me than GHD & so much cheaper. You can get it at Bed Bath & Beyond with a 20% off coupon for a little over 100 bucks. Well worth it!

An excellent hair straightener for beginners. The heat sensor adjust the plate temperature according to hair type this helps avoid heat damage. The straightener works well on afro-hair for this very reason. It has a very long cord and comes with a heat-mat that doubles up as a protective pouch. I have personally use this model and never had any problems with it. Suitable for fine curly hair. Always spray your hair with a heat protector before applying heat.
