2007's Best Hair Straighteners and Flat Irons
CurlytoStraight.com announces the very best hair straighteners of 2007.
The criteria that was used to determine this "Best Of" list are; reliability, product features, consumer reviews and customer support. The following review won't go over all of the classes of hair straightener available on the market. Just top tier products were reviewed and costs were not considered.
The following reviews are based only on the feedback of actual users, features and product quality. This does not take cost into consideration.
1) The FHI Runway Series - This brand of hair straightener is without a doubt the finest out there. It has each and 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 user feed back of each the products that we reviewed. If you want the best hair straighteners available on the market this is it, and it's going to cost you. These Irons usually around $400.
Are the Runway models really worth the money? If you can afford it, definitely.
2) The FHI Platform Series - As leaders in the development of tourmaline integration and ceramic plating, The Platform series offers a first-class hair straightener at a much more affordable price. Available in varied sizes, the FHI Platform series provides 450F max heat, adjustable temperature, ultra flash heat times and PTFC ceramic heat plates. While these items are less expensive than the FHI Runway series, they're still pricey at about $150 - $200.
3) CHI Pink Series - The popular pink straightener provides consumers the finest performance and reliability of any flat iron in the Farouk CHI line of products. Ceramic plates, flash heat times, and temperature control combined with an ergonomically and comfortably designed 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 straightener ranked above the CHI Pink series as far as product features are concerned, but it dropped to the fourth space largely because customers have had trouble with warranty returns. Other than that, the T3 Wet-or-Dry offers a solid ceramic design.
5) CHI Turbo Series - The Turbo series takes fifth place in our 2007 review of flat irons. This line of hair straighteners is used by more hair professionals than any other model. And while its maximum temperature and flash heating are not as good as the CHI Pink, the CHI Turbo series is an excellent choice for those who want top-notch performance and reliability.
