My hair dresser friend said it was her second recommendation behind GHD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1480909 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 19:12:53 +0000 Aimed 1480909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I splurged on a ghd a while back and it really is great.<br /> It doesn't have the heat adjustment though (at least the one I have doesn't). If you don't want to she'll that much I would second the Remington recommendation. I had it before the ghd and it did a really great job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1480812 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 17:38:51 +0000 matador84 1480812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a t3 and it was pretty pricey-it's a wet to dry but I mainly use it on dry only. It's still going at six years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1480789 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 17:09:24 +0000 sweet_p 1480789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the 1 inch Hai flat iron. Bought it for $60 on Amazon over 6 years ago and no problems so far. You're able to adjust the temperature too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1479468 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 19:11:57 +0000 bpcmarj 1479468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TJ Maxx always has high quality brand straighteners. Mine is biosilk and I got it on clearance for $15. They always have Chi there, too. Marshalls, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1479292 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:35:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1479292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I have the remington one and it is just as good as the chi IMO. Allure magazine voted it best flat iron for several years running. It is only $50. The temp adjustment Is what persuaded me too.<br /> <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2670015" rel="nofollow">http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2670015</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1479283 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:30:31 +0000 mrs. 64 1479283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend with really curly hair that swears by her GHD, but that is too much dough for me. I love me Sedu. It works like a champ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478754 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:19:12 +0000 whenoceansrise 1478754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: You should ask her! Mine let me buy it from her at her cost instead of retail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478745 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:17:53 +0000 LindsayInNY 1478745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whenoceansrise: One of my good friends is a hair dresser and she recommended GHD too but it's SUPER expensive! I should ask if she gets a discount anywhere... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478735 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:15:59 +0000 loveisstrange 1478735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Amika. It doesnt leave my hair as dry as Chi did. Its about 5 years old, I think. Id recommend it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478682 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:57:53 +0000 whenoceansrise 1478682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chi's never lasted very long for me. My hair stylists uses a GHD and I bought one from her.

I had one for 6 years before it died, then I got another one and it's on its 3rd year. Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478384 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:37:45 +0000 coopsmama 1478384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Chi flat irons. My first died after 3-4 years but I use it almost every day so I'm not surprised. They work so well I figure shelling out the money every 3-4 years isn't horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478376 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:35:27 +0000 mrskc 1478376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this one. It's a Solia. </p> <p><a href="http://www.folica.com/tools/flat-irons/solia-tourmaline-ceramic-ion-flat-iron-one-and-one-quarter-inch-plus-free-heat-proof-pouch" rel="nofollow">http://www.folica.com/tools/flat-irons/solia-tourmaline-ceramic-ion-flat-iron-one-and-one-quarter-inch-plus-free-heat-proof-pouch</a></p> <p>This is my second one of the same flat iron. My first lasted I think 6-7 years of daily use. It wasn't even broken, it was just really worn out. Highly recommend it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478363 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:30:53 +0000 mamimami 1478363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cheapo remington wet-2-straight and the last one lasted me like 7 years, now I'm on the second generation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478360 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:30:00 +0000 MrsH 1478360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: mine does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flat-iron-recommendations#post-1478355 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:28:43 +0000 Mamasig 1478355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a croc - it does have a temperature adjustment and you can use it on damp hair. No complaints so far.

I think it was 4 years old?

Awesome. So, recommendations on brands to buy or avoid? My wallet is crying already. These things aren't cheap!! </p>
