The best i've used for straightening my hair has been the Karmin G3 Salon Pro Styling Iron, makes my hair nice and shiny!

The Conair Shiny Styles has such low rating! Definitely staying away from all these products.

My all time favorite products are: Iso Tamer Foam for straightening and L'anza Healing Smooth Thermal Defense. The last product can be used for both straightening and curling. If I curl my hair I spray the L'anza on my dry hair and then curl with an iron. My curls will last for days. The other day it was extremely windy and I was absolutely amazed my curls held up through the trauma. I won't buy anything else but these two products!!

I am guilty of using a couple of them. But have stopped as they are rightfully on this list.

This is really good information! I have had my eye on some of these products, so I watch out for them in the future.

very useful information, thanks :) and about the flat iron, of course your gonna burn your hair and get a lot of frizz and static-y if you get a cheap flat iron. I use a professional one for better results, it's the Karmin Professional Titanium Flat Iron, and it works pretty good, removes static and leaves my hair silky and shiny, I bought it at my hair styling tools. :)
