I think it's more about skill than anything.
I use a Sedu and my hair is relaxed but my hair never has that straight from the salon look. If I had someone else do it with the same flat iron and products, it would probably look HOT!
So, If you are good at styling your own hair, I would recommend the Sedu flat iron.

I use a Jibere Titanium it's a ceramic flat iron from Sally's. It's not my favorite but it does the job. It does take alot of heat but also try using a thermal spray and a tiny bit of pressing grease on your ends for you hair to look that way.

I agree with this...I have a Solia and a stove with 2 or 3 different irons and I get about the same results. You may have to work a little harder if you have alot of new growth.

thank u ladies 
so im guessing a flat iron alone wont do this? i will need those curlers you put in the oven as well? maybe? ...
ive heard great things about solia and FHI before. and im figuring the hair type also has something to do with it as well. the reason i asked is because if i can find the right one, i can start back doing my own hair at home again.

I agree. I think all flat irons have the capability to make hair really straight but it depends on the hair type and skill of the user. I own a sedu which I adore:heart2:lol. It usually gets my hair pretty straight so I no longer go to the salon.

A flat iron alone should work...If I wrap or mold my hair then sit under a hooded dryer then flat iron it it comes out like this. I can also blow dry and iron but wrapping makes it lay flatter. I only use the marcel irons if I want more curls. The Solia doesn't get hot enough for my hair. My hair would revert before I could finish flat ironing it.

^^^ OH NO! i cant stand when that happens. i have a rinky dink vidal sassoon flat iron (my cheap ***) and i then i started to only use it on my roots. i ws trying to sneak and see the name of the flat iron my stylist used 
. but even after she straightens it, she goes back over my ends with the oven curlers, and my hair comes out like the pic. i just dont have skill with those overn curlers. i'll mess around and burn my hair out

thank u ladies
you can get stick striaght results with a flat iron
i don't think hair type matters, it's a combination of technique, the products and the amount of proudct used

Its your technique more so than your choice of flat iron. I use a CHI and my results have gotten better as I've learned new techniques.

um....I know I'm not supposed to but......I turn it all the way up
You're a brave soul!! But that's only 450 degrees...I bet that's no hotter than what they use at the salon...

I have a Sedu Revolution which I think is awesome!
I don't have nearly as much breakage as when I used a CHI. I usually can get my hair sleek, sexy and straight with my Sedu by slowly passing through small (2" wide/.5-1" thick) sections of hair.

FHI Ceramic Flat Iron with Variable Temperature - 1"
I was reading something re: the FHI ceramic iron today in two different sources: a website for curly hair, and the new issue of ESSENCE Magazine.

I have a Vidal Sassoon Tourmaline iron. I use it at medium heat and part my hair in very small sections. Also, before I do that, I add keracare creme press to my ends. This gets it stick straight and keeps it that way until I do something else to it (i.e. tie it up at night, Caruso's etc...)

Get a SEDU, I wouldn't turn it all the way up but it will get your hair very straight.

What has worked for me...
-Deep conditioning well
-small amounts of styling product.
-*stretching* my curls/kinks with a ceramic/ionic blow dryer. (Conair Ion Shine)
-*straightening*with a quality ceramic flatiron (T3)

The only way my hair has ever gotten this straight from a flatiron is at the salon...and she used marcel irons
Ditto....I can get my hair pretty straight myself with my own flat iron (chi of fhi), but it reverts quickly. When I had it done at the salon with the marcels, it would stay straight for a week until I washed it. I guess I need to improve my technique and experiment with products.
