Hands down, the best flat iron for African-American hair is the ERGO Prosleeker Ceramic 1″ Flat Iron.

This flat iron is slim enough to get right up to the roots for the ultimate in true and natural looks.

While I am not African-American myself, I have researched the product and customers of African-american descent. Read the review of one very happy customer below.

I am of African American descent, and the first flat iron I bought was the original Ergo 1/2″ back in 2003 (still works). I had a very short haircut and this flat iron was perfect for that. It gave my hair lots of shine. I wanted something bigger so I started shopping around for a 1″.

After testing multiple flat irons; including the CHI and Sedu brands none of them provided the straightness and shine that I was looking for. I went back to my 1/2″ Ergo last weekend and after applying a light oil to the root and the ends of my hair there was the shine! I wanted a larger iron to cover larger amounts of hair so I bought the new Ergo 1″ Prosleeker.

I’m happy to say that my search is over and I got the results that I was looking for. It’s worth the price.
