1. Conair Infiniti Ionic Steam Straightener
/filters:quality(70)/content/ws/gi/js74qr1q54c92ede72570245784151_250x85.jpg)
Price: $32.04 at amazon.com
Don’t let the price fool you. Just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s going to be the best hair straightener, true, but you’ve also got to pay for quality on occasion, especially with your hair. When I bought this model for the BH, it was around $100 and it was worth every penny. A specimen who generally goes through one straightener every six months is still using this one! It’s especially awesome because of the water inputting system, which helps to get your hair straighter, give it volume, and keep it from getting dry!
2. Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron
/filters:quality(70)/content/ou/gg/shhzjvh254c92edf16c2d996312983_240x240.jpg)
Price: $79.99 at amazon.com
This was a favorite in my house as well. As a matter of fact, I actually stole this model after gifting my partner the Conair Infiniti model. What? It was a totally legit swap. Ceramic straighteners are often the best, because it helps keep your hair safe, and this one has the added bonus of leaving your locks with a silky sheen.

3. T3 ManeTamer Unruly Hair Straightener
/filters:quality(70)/content/rn/ne/kpmtt6n754c92edfb1bad463290461_250x112.jpg)
Price: $200.00 at sephora.com
So, I know this looks a little pricey, but hear me out. If your hair tends to be really flyaway, then this may well be the best hair straightener for you. Not for nothing does the very name mention unruly hair. Whether your hair is unmanageable because it’s curly, coarse, or super thick, this will tame those wild tresses in no time flat, and it’s extremely long lasting as well.
4. Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron
/filters:quality(70)/content/m5/bh/jrgvspgx54c92ee057571444928358_250x93.jpg)
Price: $129.99 at amazon.com
Sedu is the top choice for most people who frequently use flat irons, and I’ll grant you that it’s awesome. The only thing that keeps me from saying it’s number one is the price, because it generally retails for over two hundred dollars, and although I love the BH and my own hair, I’m not sure my love extends that far. When you can get this on sale, however, it’s simply amazing, mostly thanks to the tourmaline plates and its temperature settings.
5. HAI Convertable Ceramic Flat Iron
/filters:quality(70)/content/qd/f3/b2ty1tdy54c92ee10ed1f361708844_236x178.jpg)
Price: $63.00 at amazon.com
This HAI model is the best hair straightener for girls who don’t want to drop a ton of money but don’t want to sacrifice quality either. With sapphire ceramic plates, this is a great option. It’s especially good for those of you with short or medium length hair, because it’s small and powerful enough to get even the most hard to reach pieces that are close to the scalp.

This is a great option if you don’t want to spend a ton of money on your straightener, but still want a decent product. If your hair isn’t quite unruly but still needs a little work, this is the perfect option. It’s long lasting, it has great results, and you can use it to create curls and flips as well.
7. Ghd Classic Styler
/filters:quality(70)/content/e6/oy/i60mdpo254c92ee2689a6483140600_250x152.jpg)
Price: $185.00 at sephora.com
As far as flat irons go, ghd has a lot of fantastic models. However, you don’t have to get the most expensive one to find something that works for your hair. The professional model is great, sure, but this one will do everything you need it to, plus lots more. I also love the fact that it automatically shuts itself down after it hasn’t been used for a while, because between me and y’all, someone in my house constantly forgets to turn it off. And her name is not Lyndsie.
8. BaByliss PRO Nano Titanium Straightening Iron
/filters:quality(70)/content/x7/p7/jgad07de54c92ee326834463823721_250x93.jpg)
Price: $89.99 at amazon.com
If you’ve got long hair, especially, then this is definitely the best hair straightener for you. It’s got tons of temperature options and it can go all the way up to 450 degrees, whereas a lot of flat irons stop at 400 degrees. Since the plates are super long, you can also benefit from this straightener if your hair is on the shorter side.
9. Croc Greenion Flat Iron
/filters:quality(70)/content/s7/wq/pqzefgll54c92ee3d07cc699042554_250x139.jpg)
Price: $165.00 at amazon.com
Finally, there’s the Croc Greenion Flat Iron, which we got to try courtesy of a friend – and that pretty much made me want one of my own! This iron has a whopping trio of heating elements, it can go up to 450 degrees as well, and it uses technology that makes your hair so incredibly soft. I completely fell in love!
When you’re in the market for the best hair straightener, you always have to consider your own individual needs as well. More importantly, you have to think about your hair. The type of hair you have – thin, thick, fine, coarse, and so on – will depend on the straightener you use. The best hair straightener for your BFF may not be the best one for you. I’ve definitely found the best flat irons that worked for myself and the BH, but what’s the best hair straightener in your opinion?
