Best Flat Irons and Hair Straighteners of 2007

CurlytoStraight.com announces the very best hair straighteners of 2007.

The standards that were used to decide this "Best Of" list are; product features, reliability, user reviews and customer support. This review does not talk about all of the classes of hair straightener on the market. Only higher quality products were examined and the cost was not taken into account.

The following reviews are based on features, product quality and the feedback of actual users. The survey won't consider price.

1) The FHI Runway Series - This line of straightener is hands down the best on the market. The FHI Runway Series has each and every innovative feature; lightening fast heat time, adjustable heat, revolutionary heating plates, damp-or-dry styling, 450F max temp and the most dependable plate heating of any product on the market. Runway models also have the best user feed back of all the products reviewed. If you want the best and most effective hair straighteners on the market this is most definitely it, and it's going to cost you. These straighteners usually around $400.

Is it really worth it? Certainly, if you can afford it.

2) The FHI Platform Series - As leaders in the progress of tourmaline integration and ceramic plating, The Platform series offers a first-class hair straightener at a less expensive price. Available in various sizes, the Platform series features adjustable temperature, 450F max heat, PTFC ceramic heat plates and ultra flash heat times. While these items are less expensive than the Runway models, it's important to note that they're still expensive at around $150 - $200.

3) CHI Pink Series - The trendy pink hair straightener offers consumers the very best performance and dependability of any flat iron in the Farouk CHI line. Flash heat times, temperature control, and ceramic plates combined with a comfortable and ergonomical handle make the CHI hair straighteners the perfect choice for people who want the most from their hair.

4) T3 Wet-or-Dry - In actuality, this straightener has a rank that is above the CHI Pink series in product features, but it was knocked to the fourth spot because customers have had difficulties with returns on the warranty. Aside from that, this model provides consumers with a durable ceramic design.

5) CHI Turbo Series - The CHI Turbo series takes fifth place in our review of flat irons. This line of hair straighteners is used by more hair professionals than any of the other models. And although its maximum temperature and flash heating are not as good as the CHI Pink, the CHI Turbo series is a great choice for anybody who wants premium performance and dependability.

Honorable Mention

Although our 2007 review of flat irons lists the creme de la creme, there are many other quality, professionally designed straighteners and flat irons on the market. The following are some of those:

GHD Hair Straighteners - An attractive device with a polished and sleek design incorporating several cutting edge features makes the GHD straighteners an attractive option.

HAI Hair Straightener|Flat Iron - HAI has a couple of quality offerings at affordable prices; the Convertible and the Nu Stik.

FHI Flat Iron|Hair Straightener - The FHI Technique series provides best in Class products for the more conventional models. The FHI flat iron is a wonderful product with many of the new millennium technologies.

*One of the more well known models out there, the sedu ceramic hair straightener,was not reviewed because of what seems to be misleading sales practices and the exclusive, anti-competitive online distribution agreement.
