Hair Straighteners Tips
Use a gentle styling spray before heat straightening.
Hair Straighteners are designed for occasional, not daily use, as they work at a high temperature, which can cause damage to the hair. Hair straighteners allow straightening of hair at home without the need to go to the salon for chemical treatments or other expensive methods.
Popular Hair Straighteners brands include Sedu, Solia, and CHI.

I have a straightner, and i am planning to get a new one, because i noticed it is frying my hair. I don't have it wet, i just have really thick hair. when i am done straightning my hair, it is really frizzy. What kind of straightner that is around 20 to 30 dollars do you suggest, and what frizz control? (i use vive shampoo) .
