CurlytoStraight.com announces the very best
2007 hair straighteners.
The criteria used to determine this "Best Of" list are; user feed back, reliability, product features and customer support. This review does not cover all classes of hair straighteners or flat irons available on the market. Only top tier products were reviewed and costs were not taken into account.
The following reviews are based solely on the feed back of consumers, features and product quality. It doesn't take price into account.
1) The FHI Runway Series - This brand of straightener is easily the best on the market. These straighteners provide every cutting edge capability; 450F max temp, revolutionary heating plates, adjustable heat, damp-or-dry styling, lightening fast heat time and the most dependable plate heating of any product. The Runway models also have the best customer feed back of each the products that we reviewed. If you want the very best straightener on the market this is certainly it, and they are pricey. These Irons usually around $400.
Are the Runway models worth the money? If you can afford it, definitely.
2) The FHI Platform Series - As a forerunner in the evolution of tourmaline integration and ceramic plating, FHI's Platform series offers consumers an outstanding hair straightener at a much more affordable price. Available for purchase in several sizes, the FHI Platform series provides ultra flash heat times, adjustable temperature, PTFC ceramic heat plates and 450F max heat. While the Platform Series is less pricey than the Runway series, they're still on the expensive side at around $150 - $200.
3) CHI Pink Series - The trendy pink hair straightener provides the very best dependability and performance of any flat iron in the Farouk CHI product line. Ceramic plates, temperature control, and flash heat times combined with an ergonomically and comfortably designed handle make the CHI ceramic flat iron the perfect option for anyone who wants to get the most from their hair.
4) T3 Wet-or-Dry - In actuality, this flat iron has a rank that is above the CHI Pink series as far as product features, but it dropped to the fourth space because customers have had trouble with returns on the warranty. Other than that, this model provides consumers with a sturdy ceramic design.
5) CHI Turbo Series - The Turbo series takes fifth place in our 2007 straightener review. This hair straightener line is used by more hair professionals than any of the other models. And even though its flash heating and maximum temperature do not match the CHI Pink, this is the perfect option for those who want top-notch reliability and performance.
Honorable Mention
Even though our 2007 Hair Straightener review features the creme de la creme, there are many other high quality, professionally designed hair straighteners and flat irons on the market. The following are a few:
GHD Hair Straighteners - a perfect device with a polished and sleek design that incorporates several cutting edge features makes the GHD hair straightener an attractive choice.
HAI Hair Straightener|Flat Iron - HAI hair straighteners have a couple of quality offerings at affordable prices; the Convertible and the Nu Stik.FHI Flat Iron|Hair Straightener - The FHI Technique series provides consumers best in Class products for the more conventional models.
