Cheap Flat Irons Under $100.00

By Marissa Donato

Do cheap flat irons even exist? You've probably heard of that saying that goes something like "You get what you pay for". Well, this saying definitely includes flat iron products. If you purchase a cheap flat iron than you are taking a risk with your hair. That risk may lead to fried hair from heat damage, loss of color and breakage. Your hair can also appear unhealthy.

Let's face it, you probably don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on purchasing a flat iron. I know this because you were looking for "cheap flat irons" and this article caught your attention because you assumed I was going to say "buy this $300.00 flat iron for only $20.00". I'm sorry to disappoint you. I do not have $300.00 flat irons available for $20.00, nor will I recommend a site where you can buy high cost brand name flat iron for just a few pennies because chances are it is a counterfeit; but that's another article for another time. Right now you are interested in buying a cheap flat iron.

It is possible to purchase a quality flat iron for under $100.00. I don't think it's ignorant to assume that spending $100.00 is not realistic. It is very realistic. If this is your first flat iron purchase than perhaps you expected to be able to buy a flat iron for only $30.00. Let's just get over that hump. It's not going to happen. If you care about avoiding damage to your hair then you will gladly accept and expect to pay anywhere from $80.00-$100.00 on a quality flat iron.

The BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium Ultra Thin 1" is a wonderful product. It has all the bells and whistles that a BaByliss flat iron offers but it's a smaller and sleeker design. the features of this flat iron is that it has adjustable temperature settings and heats up very quickly. This iron also allows for styling your hair with curls, flips and adding more volume. This flat iron also offers a 4 year manufacturer warranty which makes this flat iron even more desirable to have in your possession.

Solia offers several great flat irons under $100.00. in fact most Solia flat irons can even run under the $80.00 mark. Solia flat irons offer multiple uses too. Just like BaByliss, you can curl, flip and add volume to your hair. Solia's tourmaline plates are designed for even heat distribution so there are no hot spots to burn or damage your hair. Many customers have tossed out their previous flat irons after purchasing a Solia brand flat iron because they were able to acheive professional results by themselves and in their own home with it.

Another flat iron that gets props for producing smooth pin-straight styles is FHI flat irons. Celebrity stylists swear by this flat iron because it heats up quickly and delivers professional results. The only drawbacks about this iron is that it doesn't allow for curling or flipping hair styles since the plates are rectangular in shape. It also does not allow for temperature adjustment but instead it offers a fixed heat of 410 degrees. - 15438
