The Best Straightener

I own an Avanti Nano-Titanium Ceramic Silver Digital Flat Iron (1-3/8" inch)
It is a pricey one, but in my opinion - worth every penny! It ranges from $150-$250
and the reason being why it is so expensive is because it is a salon straightener, when I was looking for
a good straighter to purchase I was looking a lot at thinner ones that could curl hair - but unfourtantely this one does not curl hair, I never opted for a thinner straightener and I always figured that I would never get one unless it curled but one of my friends has this straighter and once I tried it I had to have it, it was honestly the best straightener I have ever used, I have owned other salon straighteners by brands like Ceramix and Babyliss and they were great but not close to the quality of this straightener. I personally, have wavy hair that is very stubborn when it comes to straightening it, it always seemed to be curly by the end of the day or flipping in all directions so for the longest time I did not even try to straighten my hair maybe in the winter when it wasn't as humid but it just felt like a waste of time but since I have purchased my Nano Croc I have straightened my hair on a regular basis regardless of the humidity and my hair has actually been staying straight! I also contribute that to a couple of products that I have found and I will probably list them in a bit but this straightener is great, my friend that owned it that showed me it has showed it too other friends and they have all gone and purchased it as well.

So some perks of spending this straightener, aside from having great hair are:
- Heats up too 450 F
- Digitally displays temperature
- You can adjust the heat by a button to any temp. you would like
- Is light, only weights 1Llbs.
- Extra long chord, so it can reach wherever
- Heats up to 450F in a matter of seconds
- Compact

TIPS for better straightening and healthier hair and for use of your Nano Croc Straightener:
- Always use a heat protector spray or cream, to protect your hair from heat damage. I use 'Matrix Sleek Look' Spray - it protects as well as helps with humidity and gives your hair great shine!
- Don't turn up your straightener all the way up if you have thinner hair, only adjust the heat setting too what you need - if you have curly/hard to straighten hair you would put it up higher and medium-thick hair you would use a setting in-between. Most People put it up as high as you can cause they think it is faster, but it will damage your hair!
-As for the actual straightener, I have read online some people have had issues with them turning off, I myself have never had that issue with this straightener and I have had it for about 5 months I think the issue is people being rough with their straightener, wrapping the chord around the body (which you do not want to do) and unplugging the iron before it has been turned off, if I ever do have an issue I will definitely post it, but thus far I have not had one issue with this straightener.
