Deborah,
I use a ceramic flat iron, and I think a quality ceramic iron makes all the difference in straightening your hair when you're transitioning. With my ceramic iron, I can get my hair just as straight as I did when I was relaxing, and it stays for about a week.
But I'm always embarassed to tell anyone which flat iron I use, b/c it costs so doggone much!!!
The name of it is ADST ex, and it's supposed to be one of the best on the market. It comes with a lifetime warranty, which is why I spent so much $$$ on it. I really love it, and it's worth every penny. But there are more affordable ones out there that don't cost as much. Here's the link to the place in Miami where I purchased mine, and the also sell others that are less pricey, such as the Hai, the Chi, etc. Personally, I used my girlfriend's Chi several times before I got mine, and I loved it, but the warranty on mine is what sold me.
here's the link

Like I said in this previous post, I love my ADST EX, the lifetime warranty is great, and I've already replaced it once just to test it out, and they gave me no problems! I like the Chi just fine, and I think you can get by w/a cheaper one w/ no problem. Mine is pricey, but the warranty is what I paid for IMO. It's not ceramic coated, although the online description makes it sound like it is. I think they treat the plates with something, but they are actual ceramic, and not coated or painted, so they don't peel. I just got a cheaper version of mine for my little sister from Metrobeauty, and she loves it. I would have to go back and look to see which one I bought her. It was about $100, and it looks just like mine. Let me know if you want the name.
