Sally's GVP 1" Ceramic baby! I'm relaxed but the new growth is coarse and it gets my hair silky straight without blow drying first.
I am texlaxed.

Whisper "bleep boop" to yourself when you're sad.
My vote is for FHI 
I have a 207 RVI and it gets my hair salon straight and bouncy in one pass. I'm relaxed
It also works wonderfully for my dh who's a natural 4z. It gets his hair pin straight in one pass, but I go over it twice, just to be sure

What flatiron do YOU rep?
BIOSILK 1" flatiron by Farouk
Which model is it?
BST 1001 Ergonomic Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron
Why do you love it?
It has temp control, tourmaline ceramic technology, and it's made by the best manufacturer of flat irons...and it was relatively inexpensive compared to similar models with temp control
Are you relaxed, natural or texlaxed?

What flatiron do YOU rep?
Jilbere 1"
Which model is it?
Tourmaline Ceramic Series (Concave Plates)
Why do you love it?
It's inexpensive ($60.00) and adjustable heat settings can go up to 450, 2 year warranty and you don't have to do anything extra to get a bump on the ends. I thought it would be a cheap alternative to the new Sedu

*Solia!*
I have the 1 inch pink solia.
I like it because for the price you pay, it is top notch. Heats up quickly and evenly, smooth plates that adjust to the thickness of the hair, easy to handle and its durable.

I love my Solia ... and will always love it . I was considering buying a Sedu but why would I since I have had my Solia for like 4 years and not one problem with it. It leaves my hair straight with one pass and very shiny. When it decides to fail me ... i plan to buy another one .. AND a Sedu lol - see if there is a comparison

What flatiron do YOU rep? FHI
Which model is it? Runway 1" and Platform 4/10"
Why do you love it? Works great at relatively low temperature, hair is smooth and shiny as glass, no snagging - I can't think of anything I don't love about them both.

FHI 207 RVI. I'm relaxed and I also use for my DD who is natural. Works well for both of us. Great results with one pass. I use with Sabino Moisture Block for her natural hair and the FHI hot sauce on my relaxed hair.
What flatiron do YOU rep?
Sedu
Which model is it?
SU 150A, 1.5"
Why do you love it?
The plates are smooth like glass, doesn't snag the hair. I have no problem getting my hair (roots and all) straight with the 1.5".
Are you relaxed, natural or texlaxed?
I'm transitioning.

Which model is it?
Andis Elevate 1" Tourmaline Nano Ceramic Flat iron is best for my fine strands and it costs less than $40.
Product Description: Andis CSI-1E Elevate 1 Tourmaline Nano Ceramic Flat Iron
Eye-catching Inferno Red metallic finish. 1 in. clamp flat iron. High temperature- heats to 400°. Tourmaline and Nano-Ceramic plates. Crushed from precious gemstones, Tourmaline crystals emit negative ions that quickly seal the cuticle layer and eliminate frizz for smoother, silkier hair. Nano-Ceramic, with its ultra smooth finish, minimizes friction and delivers far-infrared heat. It penetrates hair from the inside out, for deep, long-lasting styles. 20 variable heat settings for all hair types. Fast 60 second heat-up. Tangle free swivel cord.
Why do you love it? Leaves my hair smooth and silky with one pass....it also does a great job on my DD who has natural coarse APL unstretched hair.

What flatiron do YOU rep? Sedu
Which model is it? Don't know, but it is 1.5 inches
Why do you love it? I like it because it gets my hair straight without damage and it has an adjustable temp control.
Are you relaxed, natural or texlaxed? I am relaxed, medium density, fine strands
The only other comments I would add is that I have trouble getting close to my roots with the 1.5 inch, so I would like to get a 1 inch FHI Runway if I ever had tons of money. Also my SEDU could not get my sister's super thick relaxed hair super straight.
