I have extremely thick, curly, unruly, frizzy, nightmare hair. It only looks nice (IMO) when it's blown out and flat ironed which takes 2 to 3 hours of hard labor on my or my hair stylist's part. I'm in the market for a new one and looking for recommendations. What do you ladies (possibly guys?) use/like?
I was given one for Christmas about 6 years ago but I've abused it so much it's only good for making bacon now, like this...

Any one that is ceramic works great. Sally Beauty Supply.0 -
I have a 'ghd' professional flat iron. Expensive, but I use it every day, so worth it for me. I've had it for over a year now.
It gets up to temperature super fast too.0 -
I have an instyler. I love it0

I hate when 10+ years acquires that think layer of hairspray over my curling iron and it no longer works! waahh0

I have the same one as in your picture and I love it.0

Well, if you wanted a serious answer, you shouldn't have distracted us with bacon...seriously, though, my hair is pin straight--don't hate me, I always wanted curls!0

bacon cures everything
I like the option of curly/straight but the head of hair I was given is RIDICULOUS!0 -
Jilbere Ceramic Flat Iron
Have had it for 8-9 years and still works great.

Chi is the greatest, I have thick curly hair and what used to take me an hour and a half to straighten now takes 20 minutes.0

Try a beauty supply store in your area...the expensive ones are worth it.0

I have this:

It's actually what my hairstylist uses and recommends. I'm sure you could find it cheaper on amazon or something.0 -
GHD without a doubt. expensive but the BEST straightener i've ever used.
i would also recommend using a shampoo and conditioner to help with frizz etc. or try the brazillian blow wave0 -
I recently bought one and I read this guide first....

I got the sedu ceramic one and I love it.0 -
the instyler works wonders on my hair.. curly frizzy, and my sisters, ethnic hair and my daughters thick straight hair for perfect picture day curls! Plus it takes out the extra step of curling your ends so you dont look like you have horse hair after straightening..lol. It cut my straightening time in half..down to 30 minutes now!!0
