As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons/hair straighteners, including Sedu, Hai, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc. You should get a Professional hair straightener, they style much better and faster, and most importantly, they protect your hair.
In terms of performance:
The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, Ghd and Chameleon. These are top of the line professional brands
Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell,
Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss
Below Average: Conair, Remington, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap drugstore brands that tend to cause hair damages. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.
=== Flat Iron Hair Straighteners FAQ ======
Q: What size should I choose?
A: For most people, 1';, 1-1/4'; or 1.5'; are all good choices. If you have very thick, coarse, long or ethic hair, bigger size (1.5'; or 2';) will save you some time. If you have thin, fine hair, get a smaller one (1'; or 3/4';).
Q: What temperature should I should on my hair?
A: Based on my expereince, 380F is the average temperature to use. If you hair is thick and coarse, bump it up a bit, if you hair is fine or overprocessed, start it at somewhere 300F, and try it. If the setting does not work well for you, increase a bit until you get a setting that works well for you but does not burn your hair. Trial and error.

Any beauty supplier.
I recommend the CHI, but that's upwards of 100 bucks.
You can get cheapies at
CVS
Target
Walmart
www.beautychoice.com
And places of the like.
I heard http://www.beautychoice.com/products/BaB/a> those are pretty good as far as cheap irons go. But i suggest your invest your cash in a good one that'll last you.
you can just about get a straightener about any where you just have to look the best ones are a little more exspensive but I think there worth it but if you dont got that kind of money Wlmart always has them good luck
A decent hair straightener is gonna run you at least 40 dollars.
Sally's.
I agree with the first answer, hair straighteners are alot of money. You can get ones for about 10 pounds, but to be honest, all that money you saved is gonna be taken from you anyway from all that time you waste trying to get your hair right with crappy straighteners! But you can find good and crap straighteners at most big stores, and hair salons. :)
Walmart 20$ Andias Ceramic.
While you're there pick up Tresseme's Heat protection spray- black bottle, red lid
