I found this GHD at Folica but it's $200+. 
Any cheaper options?

I was JUST about to suggest the GHD mini styler when I saw the title of this thread but yea it is 220 though I have a GHD (the hot pink one hehehe) and they are soo worth it for the price but I dunno about 200+ just for the something that you plan to use on the roots.
How about the miniglide? I have one of those. It is not full ceramic like the GHD it is ceramic coated.

Thanks. Yeah, I just got the (pink
) FHI so I don't need another iron for all my hair. Plus it would take forever to use a 1/2 inch iron on my hair. I just want one for roots. 
Who makes the miniglide? Is it at Folica? Does it have teeth?

My friend as a 1/2 Wee Chi that she got a while back. I like that its a more compact/ slim downed version of a regular iron with smaller plates vs a short and bulky mini version that looks like a toy. Ive been looking for it since early December. but its very hard to find. Im very impressed with that iron, but Im starting to think it may be discontinued.
I have the Sedu Shortie that works well, but my Mom bought a similar no name mini flatiron from Marshalls. It looks very similiar to the orginal Sedu and works just as good as the Sedu Shortie imo.

Wow, lhcf ladies are coming through once again!
My sis has a sedu. Lemme check this out. I will definitely check into the $30 one at Sally's as well. I only plan on using it once or twice a month but I still want it to be effective. Oh, there's a Fhi Platform at Trade Secret - I could get it for $125 with my discounts and cards (it retails for $165). So I need to weigh all my options.

How do you like it?
I like my minglide better. The mini iron gets Too HOT!
fhi platform has one that's 4/10 of an inch(the smallest you can get) which also has the temperature control dial. I'm currently trying to get one now but waiting to see the cheapest i can get it. I currently have the hai twig 1/2 inch but will be returning as I was under the impression it was 3/8 of an inch but is really 1/2 an inch.Smaller irons really due straighten the heck out of new growth.

I got a H2Pro flat iron that is 4/10". The model number is 100YVI. I got the flat iron, because the stylist who did my hair in my siggy used the H2Pro iron on my roots and used a larger flat iron on the rest of my hair. I got my H2Pro on ebay. I spent about $75 with shipping. The link is: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-H2PRO-CERAM...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
I figured it she was using it on my hair, then it must be good.

I got my WEE Chi from Trade Secret little over a year ago. Call them and see if they have some... I was in TS last week but didn't look at the irons.
The WEE chi has temp control which I love.

I have the FHI Platform 4/10". It is perfect for roots and edges... I got it for about $100 on ebay.

My main iron is the H2Pro 207YVI. I love it. It is better than FHI, IMO.
I will check out the 100yvi. I like that it has a variable temp control.

Whoo, your hair is a commercial for that iron!!!
I saw this in TS for $165. I have a discount and gift card so I could get it a little less. It was at beautychoice.com for almost $200.
I'll check ebay....

I have the Hai Twig which is 3/8 of an inch and it works. It has been a big help in stretching and now my transition. But I'm a Sedu lover so my 1/2 inch Sedu should be arriving tomorrow!!! Only setback is that the Sedu one does not have a heat/temperature control

3rd person to mention the Twig and I like that it has temperature control. Decisions, decisions!!!

Ok guys, I got a TS-2 mini detailer. It was $19.99 at Marshall's and comes with a heat glove. I like the way it gets a lot closer to my roots and it gets pretty hot (400 degrees). It is 6 inches and really easy to work with - has a swivel cord. The temp is NOT adjustable but it is a lot more affordable to me than the Fhi.
I tried it today but my hair was already a little straight. I tried it on dd's hair and it came out very soft. So far I am pleased, but I want to try it when my hair is more textured. I can't wait to do a straight style, maybe next weekend! It doesn't seem to heat up immediately like the Fhi, but still heats up within 60 seconds. I don't *think* it was 400 degrees but I could be wrong. It was still hot. I only had it on about 5 minutes.
Marshall's also had a Babyliss Pro mini but it was $25 and I couldn't see that big of a difference (aside from the fact that it didn't come with the heat glove), so I went with the cheaper option. If it works out well over the next month I'll keep it!
