Best Hair Straighteners and Flat Irons of 2007

CurlytoStraight.com announces the winners of the very best 2007 hair straighteners.

The standards that were used to decide this "Best Of" list are; reliability, product features, customer support and user feed back. The following review does not talk about all classes of flat irons or hair straighteners on the market. Only top tier products were examined and price was not considered.

The following reviews are based solely on product quality, customer feed back and features. The survey won't consider price.

1) The FHI Runway Series - This line of hair straightener is without a doubt the best available. The FHI Runway Series has every cutting edge feature; lightening fast heat time, 450F max temp, damp-or-dry styling, revolutionary heating plates, adjustable heat and the most dependable plate heating of any product available. The Runway models also have the best customer feed back of any product reviewed. If you want the best and most effective hair straighteners on the market this is certainly it, and it's going to cost you. These hair straighteners sell for about $400.

Are the Runway models really worth the money? Definitely, if you can afford the price.

2) The FHI Platform Series - As pioneers in the progress of ceramic plating and tourmaline integration, The Platform series offers consumers a first-rate hair straightener at a less expensive price. Available in several sizes, the FHI Platform series features PTFC ceramic heat plates, adjustable temperature, ultra flash heat times and 450F max heat. While the Platform Series is less pricey than the Runway models, they are still on the pricey side at around $150 - $200.

3) CHI Pink Series - The trendy pink straightener provides consumers the finest dependability and performance of any hair straightener in the Farouk CHI line of products. Ceramic plates, flash heat times, and temperature control combined with an ergonomically and comfortably designed handle make the CHI ceramic flat iron the perfect option for anyone who wants to get the most from their hair.

4) T3 Wet-or-Dry - This hair straightener actually has a rank that is above the CHI Pink series in product features, but it dropped to the fourth spot due to the fact that customers have struggled with warranty returns. Other than that, the T3 Wet-or-Dry provides consumers with a well-built ceramic design.

5) CHI Turbo Series - The Turbo series takes fifth place in our 2007 flat iron review. This straightener line is used by more hair styling professionals than any other model. And though its maximum temperature and flash heating are not as good as the CHI Pink, the CHI Turbo series is the perfect choice for people that want first-class performance and reliability.

Honorable Mention

Although our 2007 review of flat irons lists the creme de la creme, there are many other high quality, professionally designed flat irons and straighteners on the market. The following are some of those:

GHD Hair Straighteners - A wonderful product with a sleek design merging several progressive features makes the GHD hair straighteners a very attractive choice.

HAI Hair Straightener|Flat Iron - HAI has two excellent choices at reasonable prices; the Convertible and the Nu Stik.

*One of the most acclaimed models out there, the sedu hair straighteners,was not reviewed because of the exclusive, non-competitive internet distribution agreement and what seems to be misleading sales practices.
