I'm looking to buy a ceramic hair straightener...which is the best brand?

Also, why is there such a major difference of prices between straighteners? Does it have to do with speed, quality, etc.

I like Vidal Sassoon. You can find it in different shapes, sizes, and prices

Depending on your ethnicity there is a difference. More fine hair types can go with Revlon or more national brands like that. For coarser hair, I would suggest CHI if you can afford it, they are kind of pricey (starting at about $95) but they work really well. Another type that I have used and worked great are Helen of Troy or Gold Tools. Go to Ulta if you have one close by that way once you try it if you don't like it you can take it back and try another one, without a whole lot of return stress. Also try Redken Spray Starch, this helps your hair to stay straight longer, and there is little if any buildup. Good Luck

Gold-N-Hot it's $40.

if you want your hair to get really straight invest in buying something really good. look in folica.com they have pretty good ones. Chi is recommended

Well I have a flatline and its really good, GHDs are supposed to be good but a few people i know had one and it blew up =( also sum straightners can do curls...it also depends on your hair type, if your hair is curly and/or thick you would want one that has quite a high temperature.
