| I am a hairstylist and we always love the ones that are for yet/dry hair. They are great, I feel that you dont get alot of damage from them. If your hair is a little damp in a few spots, its ok! Look for some with ions and with ceramic plates (not ceramic coated, it wares off) and temp. control. Tourmaline in the plates is great as well!! It depends on how much you want to spend. T3 is a great brand. Irons. I do not sell T3, I just like them! There are some others that are great too.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Chi makes a good one but they are expensive, I got a cheaper one at Target that I like. It's a Remington T/Studio with pink tourmoline (sp) coated plates and temp control. It was on sale and I had a B-Day gift card so I tried it and like it alot.

| I don't know if they're available where you are, but I love GHD's - they're VERY popular here. They straighten and can also be used to create curls and flicks too. I have naturally very curly hair and I've tried LOADS of different straighteners - GHD's are by far the best, I literally don't know what I would do without mine. (Sorry I sound a bit like an ad, don't I? I don't sell them or work for GHD or any affiliated company - honest ) xxx

| I use and recommend the Karmin G3 Salon Pro, it works amazing with any type of hair, my hair looks smooth, straight and i can make long lasting curls with it too. |

| I have this set . I LOVE this brand! I had one before for several years and my dad broke it by accidentally dropping it on to concrete floor. Oh, in this set, you get a small one too! So, one for you and one for your yorkie! JK Seriously though, this brand is really great. You can choose different colors too! The straightener also can curl your hair too!

| I have used other brands but I think Chi is the best. To me, it is worth the extra money. But they are expensive. Sometimes you can find them on sale which helps.

| My daughter straightens her hair every day, Chi is the best, I have bought several others and they stink... Chi makes the best.. ON occasion you might check Marshalls or TJ Maxx they sometimes have ceramic plated flat irons that are reasonable.

| Is this for you or are you planning to use it on your dog? If my dogs air dry or get wet in the rain, their coats get quite wavy, almost curly. If I brush them while blowdrying, their coats stay straight...
