Flat iron buying guide for fine to normal hair

Finding the perfect iron can be a frustrating experience because there are so many to choose from and they come in all price ranges. How do you know what works for your hair type? You should take internet reviews with a pinch of salt. We have all heard of “commenters” who actually work for the company whose product they are reviewing.
