Is it worth it to spend over 100 dollars on a hair straightener/flat iron?

I've been thinking about getting one to curl and straighten my hair and I am wondering, is it really worth it to buy a 100 dollar+ one? I hear flat irons tend to break at odd times too...





Thanks!Is it worth it to spend over 100 dollars on a hair straightener/flat iron?
Yes, its definitely worth it to spend more for a high quality ceramic flat iron. There are many advantages to using a flat iron with Ceramic Plates compared to the damaging Metal Plates that many low quality drugstore models have.





Flat irons with ceramic and ceramic/tourmaline plates are much less damaging to your hair than metal plated ones.





This site has really good deals on high quality ceramic and ceramic/tourmaline flat irons: http://www.simplystraighthair.com/Is it worth it to spend over 100 dollars on a hair straightener/flat iron?
I was bought some 拢100 GHD straighteners for christmas a few years ago.


They were the best straighteners i had ever used and havent had a straightener come close to that quality since.


However, both mine and my sisters pair broke within a year.


But my other sister still has hers running fine, as does my best friend who has had her pair of GHDs for nearly 4 years with no problems, and she uses them at least once a day.


So, i'd say it would be worth splashing out the cash on a 拢100 set of GHD's, but be careful with them and look after them.





I'm not sure how much GHDs are in the states, but if they are a bit pricey, try Babyliss 230's. They cost me around 拢40, not as good as GHD's, but probably the next best thing.
i kno it might sound a lil crazy but i straighten my hair all the time and i use a regular iron like the ones you iron your clothes with i jus stick a towel under the side i'm ironing it works way way way better then a flat iron and i went thru like 20 of them things they do break alot or they jus stop gettin hot enuff, people tell me all the time ironing my hair like that is bad but i've been doing it for years now and my hair is perfectly fine just spray a heat protecter first i use tresemme heat tammer it works good!


hope i helped a lil! good luck
For flat irons price doesen really mean much. I have VERY curly hair and I tried 6 different flat irons before I figured out that they werenthot enough. I went to a sally beauty supply store to get mine. If your hair is naturally curly like mine I would highly recommend getting one that reaches 450 degrees.
I have a chi and i like it but if your going to spend money on a straightener and you want it to curl right then just get the black CHI not the ones with designs or colors cuss that is what i have and it sucks to curl with but the black ones work real good for both.
no dont spend that much money on a straightener...i got this one straightener its called wet to dry i got it at walmart for like $30 and it works really good and fast ive had it for about 3 years now i havnt had problems with it
I have a Chi, it was quite expensive... but so worth it!





Make sure it has a decent warranty and maybe you can find it less expensive by checking sites like:

Definitely. The straightener will be better quality, get hotter quickly and give your a better finish. Cheaper ones can frazzle your hair and take a long time to get hot.
i got a sxe at sallys beauty supply and it was only $60 and my hair is reallyyyy curlyyyy and it works really good i dnt even need to put anything in my hair and it makes it soo softt yu can use it to curl yur hair also
I have a Remington ';Wet2Straight'; and it has worked well for over 2 years. It only cost like $30! You can use it on dry hair or when your hair is damp.
Yes, it's so worth it. The expensive ones are always better quality than the cheap drugstore ones.
yes it definetely is! sounds weird but, the more expensive it is, the better it is.
yes cause ppl that pay at the hair dressers will pay more in the long run so ur better if paying $100 in stead of like 1000 a year
no just get a ceramic one at walmart because it is going to ruin your hair no matter how much it costs
