Should You Get A Cheap Flat Iron Or An Expensive One

Should you get a cheap $20 flat iron or should you invest in an expensive brand. As you probably already know, there are hundreds of choices when it comes to flat irons. Flat irons can range in price from $15 to over $200. Is there really a difference? Well actually yes. My first flat iron was a cheap ceramic plated flat iron. It didn't heat up enough to actually straighten my hair. The felt backing on the iron came off. Thankfully I didn't use it long enough for it to start chipping. My next flat iron was a Solia which I purchased from Folica.com. I have been very pleased with this flat iron. It is a true ceramic flat iron with a temperature gauge, so I don't have to worry about chipping or poor temperature control. It is constructed well, and tt has lasted me a few years, so it was a worthwhile investment. However, if you don't have a lot of money to spend on your flat iron, but you want to get one anyway, Ceramic Tools gets good reviews on Amazon. It is not a true ceramic flat iron, it is ceramic plated, but it does have variable temperature settings, and is very affordable.
