Need opinion...should buy a chi ceramic flat iron or are the new ceramics w/ tourmaline better/less damaging?

Yeah ceramic irons are supposed to be the best straighteners that gives a great look with less damage, but my hair is sensitive and need to know which irons are bestNeed opinion...should buy a chi ceramic flat iron or are the new ceramics w/ tourmaline better/less damaging?
Personally I prefer FHI tourmaline flat iron I think it is the best flat iron out there, if you use a flat iron correctly you can use it everyday and not damage the hair. You have to use the right temperature for your hair fine hair lowest setting strong healthy thick coarse hair heaviest setting and you want to always use a heat protectant when using a straight iron. I'm not a fan of using the straight iron on wet to dry hair I feel you should always dry the hair first than straighten it.Need opinion...should buy a chi ceramic flat iron or are the new ceramics w/ tourmaline better/less damaging?
If you're gonna spend money on a chi, you should try and find the new Paul Mitchell flat iron.... it's awesome and makes your hair feel like silk!!!!


It's plates are ceramic but one side has grippers that hold on to your hair (but don't pull it) and they're ionic infused so it helps your hair stay straighter longer.... plus it has a heat setting dial so if you have sensitive hair you can turn it down! i think the highest setting is 400 and the lowest is 150. It also has a blocker in the middle so the blades won't slide and mess with the wiring and cause a short like the chi's do. AND.... normally it only takes one go over your hair to make it straight.... you don't have to keep going over it and over it to get it straight!!!!
any heat even from the blow dryer isnt great for your hair...i recommend either iron because they are both ceramic the chi's are great...BUT go to your local salon and splurge on a heat protectant..they usually come in and aerosol form and are sprayed onto each section of hair after dried and before ironing...this will protect your hair from the heat...
go on google and search it i see alot of comericals about hot rollers but i forgot the name my cousin has a really good one ill come back to u tomorrow when i get the name
no matter what iron you use it always damages the hair. get heat protected serum and stuff
