Any recommendations for an inexpensive hair straightener and/or straightening tips?

For question one:

I have had my Conair, 1/2 inch straightener for about a year now. It is getting worn, and it doesn't work especially well, so I am in the market for a new straightener. I would like to try a different one this time, and I am looking for suggestions. Please keepi in mind I would rather not get a straightener that costs over $50 dollars, and I would prefer to not spend more than $40.

And question 2:

Does anyone have any tips to help me straighten my very hard to straighter hair? Do you have a trick that makes straightening thick hair easier, or some kind of product that helps hair stay straightened longer? After spending atleast 25 minutes straightening my hair until it's nearly pin straight, I go to school, go into the bathroom, and find out that my beautiful once straight hair is now rather curly. Ugh!

Any help would be much appreciated! ^_^

I have thick hair too. Make sure you give the straightener time to warm up ( I let it warm up while I eat breakfast about 10-15 minutes). When straightening your hair divide it in half and do each side separately. Start from the back and work your way forward. Then do all the hair that shows most of the day again. If you want to be sure that it will stay straight longer let your hair cool and do a quick 5 minute re-straight over some of your hair.

I live in a border city and got a great deal on an onyx "WIGO" brand flat iron. Works wonders.

You can get a relatively inexpensive flatiron from any Sally Beauty Supply store, remember to use it at it's hottest for the best results. As for keeping it straight and protecting it from the heat (which you ALWAYS ALWAYS must do before you apply ANY heat source to your hair) I recommend the flatiron spray from Chi, that you'll need to go to a salon for, I don't know of any generic ones... Use a leave in conditioner or a smoothing serum first on towel dried hair, section hair and pull taut with a paddle brush while blowdrying, spray each section with the Chi spray and run the flatiron through. I believe the spray is humudity resistant, which might be your problem if it springs back after flatironing.

inexpensive: wet to straight conair.

expensive: chi. (i have had one for two yrs and love it. the best investment yet. but it is kind of pricy but worth it)

tips for straightening: flip hair over to straighten then once you think it is straight enough flip back over and straighten the front pieces some more. also try clipping sections of your hair so you can do the lower layers first.

There are straightening shampoo and conditioner at the store just choose one that will suit your taste or try them all which one is applicable to your hair. It might give some help to straighten your hair. Use also shampoo that soften your hair. It's advisable to use separate shampoo and conditioner if your using blower or flat iron every time. It will somehow protect your hair strand.

ok, try CHI its amazing, its not that cheap its around 150 bucks but it works GREAT.

for thick hair put the outside layer of hair in a big hairclip and flat iron that first then take it out of the clip and flat iron that layer.
