CurlytoStraight.com announces the winners of the best 2007 hair straighteners.

The criteria used to determine this "Best Of" list are; customer support, product features, user reviews and reliability. The following review won't talk about each of the classes of hair straighteners or flat irons available. Only the top tier products were reviewed and cost wasn't considered.

The following reviews are based on features, product quality and user feed back. This doesn't consider cost.

1) The FHI Runway Series - This line of hair straightener is easily the very best available on the market. It offers every innovative capability; damp-or-dry styling, lightening fast heat time, 450F max temp, adjustable heat, revolutionary heating plates and the most dependable plate heating of any product available. Runway models also have the best user feed back of all the products we reviewed. If you want the best hair straighteners out there this is it, and it will cost you. These hair straighteners sell for about $400.

Are the Runway models worth it? Absolutely, if you can afford it.

2) The FHI Platform Series - As leaders in the progress of tourmaline integration and ceramic plating, FHI's Platform series offers consumers a superior hair straightener at a more affordable price. Available in various sizes, the Platform series features ultra flash heat times, PTFC ceramic heat plates, 450F max heat and adjustable temperature. While these items are more affordable than the Runway models, they're still pricey at about $150 - $200.

3) CHI Pink Series - The stylish pink straightener provides consumers the very best performance and reliability of any flat iron in the Farouk CHI line of products. Flash heat times, temperature control, and ceramic plates combined with a well designed handle make the CHI hair straightener the perfect choice for people that want the most from their hair.

4) T3 Wet-or-Dry - In actuality, this hair straightener has a rank that is above the CHI Pink series in product features, but it was dropped to the fourth spot because customers have struggled with returns on the warranty. Aside from that, the T3 Wet-or-Dry provides a well-built ceramic design.

5) CHI Turbo Series - The Turbo series takes fifth place in our 2007 review of hair straighteners. This straightener line is used by more hair styling professionals than any other model. And although its flash heating and maximum temperature are not as good as the CHI Pink, the CHI Turbo series is the perfect option for anybody who wants world class reliability and performance.

Honorable Mention

*One of the most acclaimed models out there, the sedu hair straighteners,wasn't reviewed because of what seems to be misleading sales practices and the exclusive, non-competitive online distribution agreement.
