    I have a Corioliss flat iron, but I must say that is one impressive bacon fryer.

    I have a flatiron from FHI that i LOVE!

    This! My daughter has one and loves it. I just bought her another one for Xmas as she has worn out the old one. Expensive but it is the only thing that works well with her very thick hair. It used to take her hours but not now with this iron.

    As well as a really good straightener, using the right product makes a huge difference too. I do my hair around every 5-7 days otherwise it's a huge hassle.

    I have natural, kinky, curly, African-American 4C hair (Google image 4c hair -- CURLLLLYY) and I used to use a CHI on my extensions and when I had my hair relaxed (chemically straightened for those that don't know the term). I went natural in June and I now use a Karmin G3 Salon Pro -- works lovely on my hair. My best friend, has VERY THICK red, VERY curly hair (she's Caucasian) similar to mine almost and uses a Rusk flat iron that she loves. I do blow dry my hair to make it as straight as possible when I wear it straight, but I love my flat iron.

    Cheers!

    I will only buy Conair ceramic flat irons. Check out www.ulta.com and you can see the different reviews for each of their products.

    I get all mine bent upright. I'd leave all my shots out to the right if I swung a set of flat irons...

    :wink: The bacon might be what broke it but what a fabulous idea for ooking bacon for one! I hate using the stove!

    Oh and I love my flat iron. It was a gift. I think it's a Revlon but it's a Wet2Dry. I NEVER flat iron my hair when it's wet but I sweat a LOT and my hair can still be "damp" 6 hours after washing..

    for your hair, I would say a GHD. Always use a heat protectant before you use it as well. Tresamme heat tamer is good .

    Have you considered one of those brazlian blowouts?

    Serums are good to use once hair is dry for frizzy bits. there are loads out there, moroccan oil is popular, kerastase oleo relax, paul mitchell super skinny serum just to name a few

    ALso make sure you are using a shampoo and conditioner suitable for your hair type

    I use babyliss and it's glorious! 0 to 400 in like 10 seconds!

    I have tried Brazilian straightening and after $300+ my hair was STILL curly, course, frizzy and huge. I've tried all kinds of hair products, shampoo, conditioner, creams, gels and serums...all of them! I've even been to Ouidad in NYC and my hair was gorgeous and curly after their special layered cut and curly styling but I can't afford their hair products, especially when you consider just how much product I would need for this mop of hair. Think Chaka Chan in the 80s/90s. It's part of her personality and suits her beautifully but I've never been into "big" hair. I'm little! LOL

    I've always feared the rolling brush things for fear of getting tangled up and having to chop my hair of. I can't seem to find the InStyler listed on Amazon. I'm normally an Amazon queen too! I will look at all of your suggestions and see what I think works best for me.

    Thank you all!! Keep em coming!

    and if you dont want to spend the money on a chi.. GVP is the knock-off chi version,it works just as well as the chi. you can get it for about $60,if the price hasnt went up. (smaller plates are better than the thick ones by the way)

    ^ This, I love mine and it leaves my hair extremelly shiny. It takes me 15 mins and I have VERY thick course hair and the length is past my waist.

    GHD had mine 4 years and still going strong - i have the most unmanageable hair ever - or Fransen Futura if you can still get hold of them, they are quite old school though!

    hmmm....can I get my wife bacon flavored shampoo? I didn't think she could be more perfect, but bacon scented hair, now that could be something.

    Expensive as all get out but it makes hair look AMAZING.

    I also have the curling iron but need to get taught how to use it.

    My Chi just gave out earlier this week :frown: I didn't like the InStyler at all. My stylist recommended the babyliss pro, but I haven't gotten a replacement yet.

    instead of flattening...look for the deva curl line...there is a book that will teach you how to deal with your wild unruly mop...Changed my life (and my hair!!)

    Chi all the way for sure!! I have had knock off ones, cheap ones, and the Sally Beauty brand one too. None ever worked as good as the Chi and I have extremely thick hair also!! I'd put my Chi up against any other brand, no matter what the cost, anyday!!! :laugh:
