Top 10 Flat Irons
I keep thinking this pin straight hair is going to go out of style soon, but it just keeps on truckin’. ;) Michelle Mooney has an article with comments of her top 10 flat irons (with a quick and dirty nickname beside each - go to her article to see why they get that nickname!). She must know her some flat irons - here are her 10 faves, be sure and check out the article as to why she likes them so well.
1. Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline 1 1/2″ Flat Iron (The Bestseller)
2. Chi Original Ceramic 1″ Flat Iron (The Pro)
3. Solia Pink 1″ Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron (Middle name: Versatility..lol)
4. Metropolis Technology T-Iron Tourmaline Ceramic 1″ Flat Iron (The Mac Daddy of Techno)
5. Sedu Revolution Professional Nano Tourmaline 1″ Ionic Styling Iron (The Newbie)
6. T# Tourmaline Wet-to-Dry Flat Iron (1 3/4″) (The Powerhouse)
7. GHD 1″ Ceramic Hair Straightener
8. Ergo Prosleeker Ceramic Mini Flat Iron 1″ (The Sleek Seeker)
9. Hai Convertible 1-1/4″ Ceramic Flat Iron (The Multitasker)
10. Corioliss Tourmaline Ceramic Wet to Dry Flat Iron 1.75″ (Quicksilver)
There is more technology in a flat iron than you can shake a stick at these days. It is really a little mind boggling. I am pretty sure I have never writtten “Tourmaline” in my whole life as much as I have in the last 30 minutes. Of these 10, the Sedu Revolution is the only one I have tried, but I have a couple more at home that I like just fine too. Slated next to try on my list is one of the wet/dry irons - have you tried them? I am going to have to let my hair grow back out a bit before I am flat iron material again though…

I LOVE my CHI. Love. I have also tried the Metropolis, it is quite good as well, but the outside of the iron gets too hot, and it is not quite as awesome as CHI.
I too am curious about wet/dry and will wait for that post!!

I love my CHI! What can you say. I have tried most of the listed flat irons and I have stayed true to the original. I am very scared about flat ironing my hair with the wet to dry although T3 is a great choice. Metropolis is great as well! I have heard the american idol winner actually uses FHI Iron. Who new!

Great article, who knew there were so many different irons? I love my CHI, that’s for sure, but it’s nice to read about all of the irons out there.
I haven’t tried the wet to dry, but I keep hearing the metropolis tech iron is the best out there, I want to buy that one next time!

I’m glad you all enjoyed this - it was a useful article, I thought. Some of these irons are so expensive, it is nice to have help separating the weeds from the chaff. I can’t wait to try the wet/dry myself. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. :)

Thanks for publishing my flat iron article Christina! I would like to pass along a very important flat iron tip:
When storing your flat iron, you should never, ever, never wrap the power cord around it. I really cannot stress this point enough. Wrapping the electrical cord around a flat iron causes damage and stress to the connection points and will lead to damage of both the iron and the cord. I wish I could tell you how many people complain that their flat iron broke after 3 months and it’s usually cord damage. When storing your flat iron, bundle the cord loosely and lay the cord next to the iron. This will prolong the life of your flat iron, guaranteed.

I am a salon manager of a fairley large salon in the UK. I would have to say GHD straighteners are easily the best straightening iron out there in terms of brand image and sales. The only other Straighteners we sell apart from ghd is Vogetti. GHD’s forever - they will never leave our salon http://www.haircareheaven.co.uk

I had a CHI and loved it but I started using a SuperStar about 1 yr ago and I find it is much better for my hair and NEVER snags on or pulls out my hair as much as my CHI did.

the best straightening iron out there is FHI Heat Runway. I’m surprised its not on this list. Its very pricey…400$ But its the best iron in the market today…only exclusive celebrities hair stylist use it. Its incredible…you can only buy it in certain stores and I hear its getting more expensive!! anwyays it has nano and tourmaline technology, never snags, goes up 450 degrees, it flips curls, straightens, and its wet to dry also!!! google it!

Hi Sheila, I agree. FHI Heat Runway is the absolute best flat iron in the market. I am also surprised there is no FHI Heat flat iron in this list.
