Hi ladies:

I'm in the market for a new flat iron. Would ya'll please share your thoughts regarding the best flat iron to buy?

TIA
Ann
 
FHI platform. I just love this flatiron for both my natural hair and weaves/wigs. It glides through the hair with snagging, no uneven burning on the hair and doesn't leave that burning hair smell on the hair.
I have to thank @GeorginaSparks for putting me on to the FHI flatiron.

Third vote for FHI Platform. I've tried many irons and this is just the best. It somehow doesn't make the hair too flat and straightens beautifully even at a relatively low temp.
I strayed from FHI last year ( to Rowenta, Chi, and Sedu) and went right back :lol:. I had to actually buy a new one because I sold my old one. I should get a spare. Nothing performs like the FHI.
 
I bought an inexpensive flat iron at Marshalls recently and was pleasantly surprised. It's better than the $100 Babyliss I bought at Ulta. It's an Absolute Heat Pro Ion Digital Flat Iron. I believe it was $25.99.

Please be careful the coating on mine peeled off in less than 6 months. The absolute was a great iron until it wasn't.

Thank you, I think it's time to try something different than my Maxiglide.
I am tired of cleaning the holes in the plate. And my steam burst system doesn't work properly.
What heat protectant do you recommend?
 
I love FHI i have the platform & the technique. I also like h2pro flatirons.both flat irons glide so smooth through &my hair is always shiny & soft

Oh & they pay for themselves. Ive had my 1st fhi flat iron for over 5 years now with no issues.

FHI Platform vs Sedu?

Just stop :rofl:. FHI wins. I had the Sedu Revolution last year and I returned it. It was good but I felt as if it just didn't give me the body FHI does. I'm not a fan of the super duper flat look on me.
Just get an FHI and be done with it. I don't think you'll regret it.

Okay I am about to buy it but I see they have two sizes.
I like the 1.75 inch but I also want to curl my ends or make spirals, which the 1 inch is better for.
Which one do you guys have?:look:

Oh and what kind of heat protectant should I get?
 
I use the 1 inch. I'd go for the 1... I feel as if it may get the roots better than a bigger one and also more versatile styling wise.
I dont really use heat protectant so I can rec any :lol:. I don't believe in heat protectants :look:.

Oh, goody just found a 1.25 inch size. Perhaps this is my happy medium??
I wonder how many more sizes they have?
 
I haven't tried a FHI but the Sedu works really well on my 4 a/b natural hair. My avatar is after flat ironing with the Sedu.

Oops. I just realized you already bought the FHI.

Never used the fhi but I have a sedu and I've been using the same one for about 7 years now and works really well
 
Bought a FHI platform iron from overstock.com yesterday. I used a 10% discount code and purchased an additionalwarranty. Can't wait to try it!

FHI Heat EPS Black Diamond Digital Ceramic Professional 1-inch Flat Iron

I'm really eyeing this iron by FHI. I have it in my wish list because I have to save for this one. It's $154.99 :eek2:
 
JC Penney has it on sale for $157.99 plus 25% off for a final price before tax of $118.49 with free shipping! Coupon expires today though...
 
I have quite a bit of flat irons but I like my babyliss pro nano titanium for natural hair the most. the fhi looks good though but im taking a break from heat for a while
