Cheska asked:
I just got a bio ionic flat iron and I plugged it in to use it, but the light on it won't stop flashing even though it feels hot. Are these flat irons supposed to keep flashing? I haven't tried using it yet because I thought you're supposed to wait until it stops flashing. Please help!
Reply:
the flashing means that it is fully heated up and ready to use.
it should keep flashing until you turn it off.

5 – Solia – THE BEST – price and features and effectiveness
4. Sedu features and effectiveness
4. Maxiglide features and effectiveness
3 CHI – effectiveness
3 Corioliss – effectiveness
I have used all except the Corioliss. From what I understand the Solia, Maxiglide and Sedu are the best in kinky, coily, curly hair. I prefer the Solia.
Check out reviews for each on also see what the ladies on these natural hair sites say about the best flat iron
Hope this helps.
From what I understand CHI is the Mercedes of flat irons. They are hella expensive but worth every penny from what I understand. As an African-American woman being able to get my hair straight is very important to me (easier to manage), so if I had the money, I'd go with a CHI

You can get the generic shampoos made by Suave and they are EXACTLY the same. I have a ceramic flatiron from Sallys that is not a Chi and it works really well. I just use Rusk Thermal STR8 Ceramic Styling Spray before I straighten it. I did buy that at the salon though. The shampoo I got at walmart.
You already own a very nice flat iron. Save your money. There are so many products out there that claim to have something that the other products don't have.
Most of the time, the type of shampoo and conditioner, how you shampoo and condition, the weather, do you blow dry or not, the type of brush you use, the temperature of your iron, and what styling products you use, and how you use the iron, all contribute more significantly than your choice of iron.
Yes there are some irons out there that are better than others, but as I have already said, You own a very nice one.
I watched this video. First, this girl claims to have thick hair. She does not. My daughter has such thick hair that when you gather it to a pony tail you have a hard time keeping the hair together to get a pony tail wrap around it! That is thick hair!
If you use good products and techniques on your hair, you can minimize damage and quit worrying about going bald!
You do not have to spend hundreds on products but you certainly get what you pay for. If you use 99 cent suave on your hair you could do better. The ph of this product to very high and damaging. The very expensive brands do not offer much that is exclusive in ingredients to the middle of the road products either.
Try John Freida or Bed head. Also try a heat protector for flat irons. You can also try protein treatments to try and improve the dryness. Keep in mind that with really thick hair, you may have different hair types at the base of your neck vs around the face. Take this into consideration when conditioning.
Using the right brush and brushing techniques is also very important. Wet hair is very fragile. Using care when brushing and using a good brush is a must. The best brush for long thick hair is one for wigs!
i did clean it.
mine is a biosilk flat iron and it does the opposite from other ones. On mine if the red light is flashing it means its hot (:
If its hot when you put your hand near it its probably ready.
I'd just use it, its probably like mine.
Hope that helps
Merry Christmas !
It is isn’t it? CHI brand gets a lot of media hype but I think Bionic is Better.

CHI is the best. I work in a salon and that's all any of us ever use. We sell them like crazy too. Everyone loves them!
