I'd like to see more recommendations as well. I've used both BioSilk and Chi heat protectors but have found the smell on both (especially Chi's) unbearable.

I think I saw on another thread this brand called L'Anza. It's supposed to be really great and all. Anyone tried it?

yeah i have that problem too. But my hands get pretty dry and after the handwashing I do after this + applying makeup it seems to be mostly gone.

I alternate the Redken product with Matrix's sleek look Iron Smoother. It's a spray-on and much lighter than the Redken smooth down.

No matter what I do, I have a hard time keeping my hair smooth. whine whine...I have thick, wavy hair + highlights so the slightest bit of humidity or rain and poof. :cursing:

I love your GHD posts...I may look into this myself!!

You're welcome mama! It's all I use now. I use it to blow dry and flat iron, flip and crimp. :tup:

hey has anyone tried the "Lena 1 in. Professional Flat Iron" from ulta? the description reads:

"The Lena Professional Styling Iron features crushed tourmaline gemstones embedded in ceramic plates which generate a massive amount of negative ions which smooth and shine hair. Model features digital temperature controls, 9 ft swivel cord, and a thermal pouch. Iron achieves a minimum temperature of 284 degrees F. and a maximum temperature of 400 degrees F."

... and the price is very cheap, has anyone used it? how does it compare to the sedu and solia irons? any other suggestions? (under $50 preferably, my hair is already very straight... i just want a good iron to fix my hair in the mornings)

also what are the best heat protecting sprays?

thanks!!!!

I'm not sure about the straighteners because I use the GHD's which are fantastic but pricey. I used to have a few remington ones I'm not sure how much they retail for but they were really good too!

Heat protecting sprays.. I love the Tigi Catwalk one.. Fashionista Spritz & Shine, it smells lovely aswell. I really like the Tressemme one too.

A lot of people will tell you to buy a CHI but I think Sedu straighteners are much better. I've used my Sedu everyday for years and my hair has never gotten "fried." I've tried many different straighteners, including the CHI, but the Sedu is the best. It has an adjustable heat dial so you control how hot the plates get. The plates are made of high tech ceramic/tourmaline material that smooths your hair by the follicle. It's amazing! You should see how fast my hair goes from curly to straight.

If you're worried about the price at $120, please don't. You want to invest in a high quality flat iron because you can seriously damage your hair if you don't. It'll last you a much longer time than a crappy one. I know because I had a $40 hair straightener I bought at Sally's and it fried my hair so bad that there were permanent kinks in it that weren't there before.

Here's the one I have:

I also use Aveda Brilliant damage control spray to protect my hair.

I just bought one by NP yesterday. It was between that one, the CHI and the T3 Tourmaline Wet or Dry one. The NP was the cheapest of the three (though it was still $200 CAD) but the hairstylist I spoke to strongly recommended it. Like you, my hair is pretty straight but it's still important to get a high-quality flatiron that heats up to the proper temperature - I was using the Futura one before and it was doing basically nothing for me. I have used the NP once and it made an incredible difference already - my hair was pin-straight with minimal effort and it just felt nice and sturdy when it clamped my hair. I got the narrow one so it was easier to maneuver. As for heat protectants, I use Straight Sexy Hair or White Rain. Today I bought Biosilk (based on recommendations from this forum) and I am going to try that soon.
