Expensive Flat Irons and Hair Dryers

[inthestars]

I've seen some very expensive hair dryers (like this one http://shop.store.yahoo.com/bu-ba/ion-conditioning-pro-hair-dryer-by-bio-ionic.html) and flat irons at Yahoo Shopping. Has anyone bought one? What is the difference between those and the cheaper types?

I have no idea. However my little Jilbere ceramic flat iron and hooded dryer work great, and they didn't cost me a lot.

I'm am curious about that too!

Someone posted on another thread that an expensive Unil flat iron worked well because it was solid ceramic and not coated with ceramic..

That was me. But I have never used one of those cheaper brands. I wonder do they work the same. My Unil is awesome!

Ditto on this flat iron...I am loving my hair today.

I just bought a Chi flat iron, it's made by the same company as Unil. I'll post once I use it.

I'm embarrassed to say how much I spent on my flat iron, but I truly love it! It's straightens my hair like silk (even my 5 mos. worth of new growth), and it has a lifetime warranty. Literally, if I throw it against the wall, they will replace it for life. I've already replaced one just to test them out!

It's a great professional flat iron, but the warranty is really what sold me! Here's the link to look at my flat iron, it also includes the price.

i bought a ion ionic hard hat hair dryer from sally's (on sale for @$35.00) and it is wonderful. my hair dries faster now and is even silkier...it's a keeper!

Don't think I would have spent that much on a iron with ceramic coated plates, but if it works for you and you love it...more power to ya! The lifetime warranty would have peaked my intrest too! I bought a 2" CHI Turbo on Ebay for less than the advertised price. Here's a pic.

Can't wait to try it out!

I've tried a Jilbere and it was ok. Then one day I caught a great sale at Trade Secrets on a HAI Stick and bought it and of the two I love the HAI much better. My hair glides through the plates much more smoothly. And I only have to make one pass, while with the Jilbere I had to make 2 or 3.

Basically, I was ok with the Jilbere and wouldn't have bought the HAI if it wasn't such a huge markdown.

i work at ulta and we sell many flat irons. the previous poster was right. some brands are coated with ceramic and not pure ceramic plates. i have the rusk flat iron and it is great.

Chi Turbo all the way!

Hi ladies I have tried the Chi Turbo, Hai and Jilbere. By FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR the Chi Turbo is the best. WIth the other two, my hair would tend to get stuck between where the plates met the plastic of the flat iron and pull on it until. Sometimes it would even SNAP the hair out!

The Chi Turbo is the best ever!!!

Re: Chi Turbo all the way!

i am buying myself the bio ionic flat iron for xmas so I will let you all know my results

Re: Chi Turbo all the way!

I bought a CHI flat iron for $138 but I can say I don't regret it one bit. It straightens new growth and leaves your hair sooo smooth. I have used other flat irons but they don't compare. Mine came with a warranty as well.
