2007's Best Flat Irons and Hair Straighteners

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

The standards that were used to decide this "Best Of" list are; reliability, consumer feed back, product features and customer support. The following review does not discuss all classes of hair straightener available. Just high quality products were reviewed and costs weren't taken into account.

The following reviews are based on product quality, features and the feed back of consumers. This won't take price into account.

1) The FHI Runway Series - This line of straightener is simply the finest available. These straighteners provide each and every innovative feature; 450F max temp, revolutionary heating plates, adjustable heat, lightening fast heat time, damp-or-dry styling and the most dependable plate heating of any product out there. The Runway models also have the best consumer feed back of any product we reviewed. If you want the best hair straighteners out there this is certainly it, and they are pricey. These straighteners usually around $400.

Are the FHI Runway models worth it? If you can afford it, absolutely.

2) The FHI Platform Series - As a pioneer in the progress of ceramic plating and tourmaline integration, FHI's Platform series provides consumers with a superior hair straightener at a less expensive price. Available to buy in multiple sizes, the FHI Platform series offers ultra flash heat times, 450F max heat, PTFC ceramic heat plates and adjustable temperature. While this series is less expensive than the FHI Runway series, they're still on the expensive side at about $150 - $200.

3) CHI Pink Series - The stylish pink straightener provides the very best performance and reliability of any straightener in the Farouk CHI line. Flash heat times, ceramic plates, and temperature control combined with a well designed handle make the CHI flat iron a wonderful option for people who want 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 are concerned, but it dropped to the fourth space due to the fact that customers have had difficulty with warranty returns. Aside from that, this model offers consumers a well-built ceramic design.

5) CHI Turbo Series - The Turbo series takes fifth place in our straightener review. This flat iron line is used by more hair professionals than any other model. And while its flash heating and maximum temperature don't match the CHI Pink, this is the perfect option for anybody who wants top-notch performance and reliability.

Honorable Mention

Although our review of straighteners features the best of the bunch, there are many other professionally designed, top quality hair straighteners and flat irons available. The following are a few:

GHD Hair Straighteners - A great device with a polished design merging many innovative features makes the GHD hair straightener a great option.

HAI Hair Straightener|Flat Iron - HAI hair straighteners have two quality choices at lower prices; the Convertible and the Nu Stik.

*One of the more well known and popular models available, the sedu hair straighteners,was not reviewed because of what seems to be misleading sales practices and the exclusive, non-competitive online distribution agreement.
