best curling iron for human hair braids?

[tobisak1]

hey everyone!
i am trying to try out some different styles with my braids, but wanted to know what was the best curling iron to use on braids? i find that my 14.99 Revlon curling iron isn't quite cutting it...the curl won't hold. any ideas on how to make (and keep) the braids curly?

Good question...I'm in the process of getting my hair braided now.

Hmm, I always had to use a super hot iron, because the heat has to get through the many strands of what is probably Asian hair (which is verrry diffcult) as well as your own hair.
I used gold irons- cheap, but they got hot; Helen of Troy, Conair (same company, as well as Jilbere), as long as they specified a high heat.
I even used the gold 'n hot wave iron. Looked sexy as hell! I still use it on my own hair. It's delicious!
