I have a bed head straightener right now and it doesn't work that well so I'm looking for a new straightener. My mom is going to buy me one so please help. posting links would be helpful too. thank you!

I bought my daughter the Chi 1" professional straightener and she loves it. It does not seem to damage hair, and heats up quickly. She went through 3 other less expensive straighteners before this and has used this one for over 2 years. You can get them at BedBathandBeyond: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com

Hot Tools brands are excellent styling products. Any and all hot tool products I've ever purchased have lasted for years. They are a little more expensive, but well worth the price. These links should be helpful.
