What should I look for in a straightening iron? Do I have to spend alot of money to get the best?

Things to look for in a good straightening iron:

Temperature Control - Some of the cheaper irons don't have a temperature control, instead they are preset to a very high temperature which can damage fine hair. A good straightening iron will have a temperature control, which will allow you to set the temperature to suit your hair type.

If you have thick hair strands, the temperature should be around 350-400 degrees. If your hair is fine, the temperature should be around 280-300 degrees.

The best straighteners are Ceramic, as ceramic hair straighteners are less damaging to your hair than metal or aluminium. It should have at least 150 watts of power.

Using John Frieda Frizz-Ease Daily Nourishment Leave-in Fortifying Spray after you wash your hair, will leave your hair hydrated, enriched with vitamins and will protect against hair styling. This is especially important if you don't have a ceramic flat iron.

The hottest flat iron on the market today is the Sedu 1" Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron. Celebrities are using the Sedu flat iron to achieve "The Sedu Hairstyle". Read more about the The Sedu Style Hairstyle.
