PHI? Sedu? Solia? CHI? GHD? JDL? which one will work best for my thick curly long black hair?

I have been staring at thousands of reviews since morning. There are tons of pro. straighteners out there- but which one is for mee?

I have thick long black hair which is in great condition, its really shiny, but tends to get frizzy if i brush it too much. I've bought a Conair straightener [ewww- i know] and it pretty muchs sucks and damages my hair. So now i am planning to buy a nice expensive one that will work for atleast 5 years. I;ve read tons of reviews and been to numerous sites, but i think i'm more confused than before. The CHI is over rated, %26amp; im really confused about the rest. Help?

As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons, including Sedu, HAI, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss GHD, T3, Kenta etc.

In terms of performance:

The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, GHD. These are top of the line professional brands

Above average: CHI, HAI, Paul Mitchell,

Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss

Worst: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.

I think I have the same kind of hair you do. Thick, wavy, sometimes frizzy...

Anyway, I've been using the Solia for over 2 years now, and it works great. I have the 1-3/4 inch, which is good for thick hair. The plates are made out of ceramic, so it doesn't damage your hair as much as a regular iron. However, it's a bit pricey ($98). Of course, I've never used the Chi (which I've also heard was good), so I can't compare and contrast. In short, I've had a lot of sucess with the Solia =)

I got my Solia a few years back, it worked great for my hair (and my sister's hair too). Last August my sister went to a college in california, she took the Solia with her. Initially I wanted another Solia, but Jonna (my hair stylist) convinced me to get a Sedu. Like Jonna said, Sedu is the best.

Now they have 2008 model (Sedu Revolution) , i can't wait to try it!
