Okay, Mylotters, my teen daughter is bi-racial and looking for the perfect flat iron to tame her mane; who out there in Mylot land can help a mother out? This is REALLY important to my teen, can anyone help?

I got one at Target for 20 bucks - COnair. My hair is long. But my daughter raves about hers and it is a ceramic base one - the iron plates are ceramic I think - not sure exactly. But she says it does SO MUCH better than the iron kinds. I think she got hers at a store called Ulta. She also says it is better on her hair. Guess I should get one myself but what I have does fine. Or you could do it the way we did it before flat irons - ironing board, iron and wax paper! We used to iron our hair between the wax paper with the iron on the ironing board! That was one of the hardest things to do - especially when you had to do it yourself!!!! My how things have changed!

Thanks for the help. She already has a ceramic plated Conair flat iron from Walgreen's; this is the best one she's used so far but was told about a flat iron from Sedu at Ulta which is suppose to be really good. It is also very expensive.
What brand does your daughter use? My daughter's hair is long but she would never be able to be still long enough to iron out her hair. (lol)

All I know is she got it at Ulta. Don't know the price or brand name. SHe just likes it. I didn't know Walgreens sold the ceramic ones. I should get one of those. They say it is better on your hair. Yeah, ironing hair was a task to be praised! It was hard and tedious and cumbersome and aggrivating, but we wanted straight hair so we did it. Hardest if doing it alone, but those frizzies were not tollerable in the 70's!
