Great range of choices. $$$ great for those that can afford or prof's...I've been using Vidal Sassoon for years and it's always given me perfect results I can count on.

Although there are some great flat irons listed I was shocked that several were missing. Remington? I could list like 5 right off the top of my head that I would say beat a few of the flat irons on this list that cost much more. For low to mid price they are a steal. HSI? This is a amazing flat iron for about 50 bucks. I used mine a great deal favoring it over several pricey Chi models. Without question the absolute best flat iron I have used is the Hana Professional. It totally eliminates frizz and leaves any hair silky smooth and shiny. I have not seen anything that comes close. Believe they hype, it's all true.
