When I can't decide between two things I buy them both to try out and return the one I don't like... I would definitely try shiny plates out for a spin just because they are amazing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-204393 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 05:09:41 +0000 Scarlet 204393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think making curls depends mainly on whether the edges are curved or not? </p> <p>Maybe you can find some reviews online of the iron that you bought? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-204365 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:56:30 +0000 shannon 204365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really??? Shiny plates? I almost bought one with shiny plates. Titanium I think? Mine are not shiny plates. Oh why am I so indecisive???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-204363 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:48:20 +0000 shannon 204363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I was convinced that I needed a better quality iron than what I had after using my friends InfraShine. I could not believe how much better my hair curled with hers! I can get mine straight(er) with my cheapie, but curling didn't work as well. I thought it was just me and my hair, but what a difference!</p> <p>I went to Sally's and found a FHI Technique G2 reduced to $60. That was only $10 more than I wanted to spend so I bought it. Makes great curls! I know nothing about this brand and I'm usually one to do a lot of research before buying. Hope I made the right decision. </p> <p>Thanks everybody! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-204362 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:39:20 +0000 paralleltotheworld 204362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to Marshalls yesterday and saw 100% ceramic plated flatirons starting at 19.99 and ending at 39.99. From experience, ceramic-plated (plated as in that the plates are plated.. haha) flatirons don't work, but I don't know exactly why. Mine makes my hair brittle, stringy, and tangled, not to mention catching my hair on each run-through. I used my best friend's 100% ceramic plated flatiron and it made my hair soft, shiny, straight and beautiful just as a flatiron should. Her's was a Conair. What I noticed is that the surface of 100% ceramic plates are that they are very shiny-- almost like a mirror, and you are able to leave a fingerprint on them or fog them up with your breath.<br /> Hope this helps, and don't worry about looking strange testing each flatiron in the store breathing on them to see if it fogs up or seeing if a fingerprint shows -- I did it!</p> <p>p.s. the one at Marshalls for 19.99 I'm thinking about getting comes with a mini travel flatiron too. Don't know about anyone else.. but I'm the find of person who would keep that in my purse. I think TJ Maxx also carries almost the same ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-204268 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:45:23 +0000 Scarlet 204268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still mourning my expensive one that I fried by using a sub-par converter while traveling. I bought a cheap replacement for around $50 with ceramic plates but I don't even use it because it just doesn't work on my hair. My hair requires some serious heat to be tamed, but maybe you can get by with less fire-power. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-204263 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:32:53 +0000 Mac 204263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>amazon.com carries loads of flatirons and most of them will be shipped for free to your door in a matter of days if you live in the US. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-204262 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:57:01 +0000 NK 204262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought my CHI at Costco.com a few years back and noticed they're even less expensive in the store now.</p> <p>I used to think you had to have an expensive brand but I think they've all gotten better in quality over the years (wow, that's a first!). I walked by a bunch at Target yesterday that looked pretty nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-203594 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:20:36 +0000 Beth 203594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Solia flat iron that was somewhat expensive, but I really don't think it works any better than my Revlon ceramic iron I bought years ago at Target.</p> <p>I think as long as you get one with ceramic plates you'll be fine:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-203592 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:19:39 +0000 Tricia 203592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have straight hair too and use one for the same reason you do - I got mine at Sally Beauty Supply. I can't remember how much it cost, though, but not expensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-a-flat-iron#post-203584 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:39:22 +0000 shannon 203584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My flat iron doesn't work this morning!!! I am going to use my friends today, but I have to run out and buy one ASAP. I have straight hair so I don't think I need top of the line. Does anybody know of a good quality one for $50 or less? I can't live without my flat iron!!!! </p>
