CurlytoStraight.com announces the winners of the very best hair straighteners of 2007.
The standards used to decide this "Best Of" list are; customer support, customer feed back, product features and reliability. This review won't discuss all classes of hair straighteners or flat irons on the market. Just higher quality products were reviewed and price points were not taken into account.
The following reviews are based solely on features, product quality and customer feed back. The survey won't take price into consideration.
1) The FHI Runway Series - This brand of straightener is easily the very best out there. These hair straighteners have every cutting edge capability; damp-or-dry styling, adjustable heat, revolutionary heating plates, lightening fast heat time, 450F max temp and the most consistent plate heating of any product available on the market. Runway models also have the best consumer feed back of all the products that we reviewed. If you want the best hair straighteners on the market this is definitely it, and they are experience. These straighteners sell for about $400.
Is the FHI Runway Series really worth the money? If you can afford it, certainly.
2) The FHI Platform Series - As a forerunner in the development of tourmaline integration and ceramic plating, The Platform series offers consumers a first-rate straightener at a much more affordable price. Available for purchase in several sizes, the FHI Platform series features ultra flash heat times, 450F max heat, PTFC ceramic heat plates and adjustable temperature. While this series is more affordable than the Runway series, they are still on the expensive side at about $150 - $200.
3) CHI Pink Series - The popular pink straightener provides consumers the finest reliability and performance of any straightener in the Farouk CHI product line. Ceramic plates, flash heat times, and temperature control combined with a comfortable and ergonomical handle make the CHI hair straightener a great option for anybody who wants to get the most out of their hair.
4) T3 Wet-or-Dry - In actuality, this hair straightener has a rank above the CHI Pink series as far as product features, but it dropped to fourth place due to the fact that customers have had difficulties with returns on the warranty. Other than that, the T3 Wet-or-Dry provides a sound ceramic design.
5) CHI Turbo Series - The Turbo series takes fifth place in our review of hair straighteners. This line of hair straighteners is used by more hair professionals than any other model. And while its flash heating and maximum temperature don't match the CHI Pink, the CHI Turbo series is the perfect choice for people who want first-class dependability and performance.
Honorable Mention
While our review of flat irons lists the cream of the crop, there are many other quality, professionally designed flat irons and hair straighteners available today. The following are some of those:
GHD Hair Straighteners - An excellent device with a polished design that incorporates many progressive features makes the GHD hair straighteners a very attractive choice.
HAI Hair Straightener|Flat Iron - HAI hair straighteners have two quality offerings at affordable prices; the Convertible and the Nu Stik.
FHI Flat Iron|Hair Straightener - The FHI Technique series features a Best in Class product for the more traditional models. The FHI ceramic flat iron is a quality product with many of the new millennium technologies.*One of the more well known and popular models available, the sedu ceramic hair straightener,was not reviewed because of the exclusive, anti-competitive online distribution agreement and what seems to be misleading sales practices.
