Q: What Are The Best flatirons For Ethnic Hair??
------------------------------------------------------------
A:
The general consensus is that among types of irons, either Ceramic or Ceramic-coated (depending on your texture) are the safest and least damaging to hair.
The website Folica.com allows you to compare brands with before and after testimonials.
Amazon.com also has reviews of select brands they carry, also.
If you are looking for a solid brand, the most popular seem to be the Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat iron 1-1/4”and the Sedu Revolution tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron 1” among the more expensive irons-just to name two. Alternatively, on the inexpensive side, the Jilbere de Paris Ceramic Tools or the Conair Pro Ceramic Tools or the Baby Bliss Ceramic Tools Pro CT2555 or the Wigo have gotten fair reviews, also.

If your hair is resistant to straightening and ceramic or ceramic coated irons truly do not work for you:
1. Babybliss PRO Nano Titanium 1-inch Ultra Thin Straightening Iron (reviewed great for thick 4abc, 5abc, 6ab hair)
2. Hot Tools Crimson Fade 1” Digital Salon Flat Iron (with titanium alloy plates) (about half the cost of babybliss and reviewed great for thick 1abc, 3abcd, 3abcd, 4abc hair)
