Recommend your flat iron

[bonquiqui]

My Chi, may she rest in peace, has straightened her last hair. This was my 3rd Chi, and it lasted about 4 years. We had a good go of it, but now i need to find someone else.

I have a shit ton of thick hair, so i need something durable. Any suggestions that aren't crazy expensive?

Solia. Sedu. It's amazing!! 

[kaybee85]

I really like my Sedu. It was 115 or so? I've had it for quite awhile. They had a faulty design for a little while, but I got mine replaced after the warranty was up (+ customer service experience) and the replacement was different- they clearly fixed the design flaw. That was about 5 years ago and it's still going strong.

I like my Sedu also.

Folica.com has coupon codes fairly often. Plus ebates!

I have used chi, solia and babyliss. Babyliss is by far the best for me.

I'm following this thread as well because mine died this morning. I had that solia one and it lasted almost 4 years. I liked it and would repurchase it again if I don't find something else.

Sorry, I just checked. I have the Sedu.

I have a Chi that I love.

[justkly]

Sedu, hands down. Doesn't matter how much they cost, I find myself having to replace them about every 18-24 months. Sedu is the only one that I've bought multiple times.

I recently got an InStyler. I don't know how it would work for thick hair, because mine is fairly fine, but I love it. It's magical.

[schitzengiggles]

I know all hair types will be different...my own hair is thin but there is a lot of it and honestly I have whatever was nearly the cheapest at Target like 7 years ago, and it has always worked fine and still works fine to this day. I cant think off the top of my head what it is, probably Conair or something.  I used my friend's Chi before and it worked well but its not like it blew me away compared to mine or anything.

ETA meant to say #cheapforthewin, but wine works too. I'm not picky with wine, either. :-)

I have thick, curly, frizzy hair. I had a Chi for years and liked it. But hands down the best flat iron is FHI. I actually bought my latest one at Target for $80.

Yes, I just tossed my third Sedu (in maybe, 6 years?) after it died. They don't last long.

OP, I just purchased this one for $50 on Amazon, it's pretty good!

I have a Sedu and love it! I have thick, curly/frizzy hair that's down to my mid-back and it takes about 20 minutes to straighten. My current Sedu iron is going on four years old and I've not had any problems with it.

[Pibs]

Another Sedu vote. I'll probably cry when it dies and then buy a new one. It's almost 7 years old and still working fabulously. I'd say that I used it daily for about 5 years, though a pixie cut and now long hair. I took a year-long break for a curly phase. And the curly phase changed how I wash my hair, so I've only used it a couple times each week for the past year or so.

I love it so much that I bought one of their hair dryers, which is also pretty much on the same schedule but a year behind. Love it even more!

Another babyliss user here!

[kristie]

I had this issue a few months ago and researched the crap out of all of the above suggestions after my chi died. I went with a bio ionic one pass which I love a lot more than my chi.

[azurely]

I love my Sedu. I've had it 6.5 years and used it almost every day in that time, and it's still going strong.

I'll second this. I've had my FHI for 8 years, and it's still going strong. I think mine is from the Platform series.

I like my sister's GHD as well.

I ended up just ordering Nume megastar for 96 off with the coupon code frosty. I was close to ordering the sedu, but for the price, i couldnt pass this up.

Sedu, I've had it since 2007 and use it at least 3 times a week. Love it.

[morningmania]

Sedu revolution diamond. It comes with auto off. Love mine.
This is my second sedu.
