I have super thin, naturally curly hair. Please recommend a flat iron that will not kill what little hair I have. Thanks!
Re: Flat Iron
I have natrually curly hair too, but more medium than thin. I absolutely love my Chi, and will probably never by another brand again. This is my 3rd, and they last a lot longer than some of the cheaper brands, usually 2-3 years (and I straighten my hair a lot). My previous Chi still works ok, I probably should've just taken better care of the paddles. The one I have now has a temperature setting (this is the first one I've gotten that has this), so I would recommend it. I crank it up all the way, but you could fine-tune whatever setting works best for your hair. When I first started straightening my hair, I fried it pretty bad. I found the key is a protecting product. What works best for my hair is the Frizz-Ease Straigh Fixation. It's a cream that helps tame the frizz and protect. I just put about a dime size amount throughout my hair before blow drying and flat-ironing (I have really long hair these days). I also like their Secret Weapon after the flat-iron. It helps tame frizz a lot, so you could probably use a lower heat setting on the flat iron and still get away with very little frizz. Hope this isn't TMI and helps! Good luck!
