I received an email asking if we only liked “the expensive flat irons” since apparently we seem to rate and review flat irons that are not at drugstore prices. I am going to answer this question once and for all and it will probably break the heart of the ones that were hoping we would say that some flat iron found in a drugstore for $30.00 is a great flat iron.

Yes, yes we only like “expensive” flat irons and I will break down why we dislike cheap flat irons. Most cheap flat iron companies do not invest the money in proper technology and research on such things as the plate design. They are all about mass producing their product and trying to cut costs anywhere they which often leads them to have their products made in another country with cheaper labor. This also means they are not able to control the quality of their product anymore since they are not there to insure things are done and made properly. They are all about making the most money without a care that they have now fried and ruined the hair of many of their customers whom maybe could only afford a cheap flat iron at the time. So, because of those main reasons, bestflatirons.net does not like nor will endorse “cheap flat irons”. I mean really, is $70.00 all that expensive when you get an amazing flat iron designed by haircare professionals that wish to produce products that are to be used in salons and that are actually beneficial to your hair?! I think not.

You can get some great cheap flat irons at Folica. If you don’t mind a smaller plate size, the BaByliss Pro Nano is only $29.95 but it does have a 1/2″ plate size.
