definitely need to check to see if it states specifically the iron can be used on damp hair, otherwise it is gonna damage your hair and break the iron too. Solia states it works on damp hair.

i think that it is neccessary to find a flat iron that specifies that it can be used on wet or dry hair!if you use a Conair iron on wet hair it wont work as well after..believe me...i did it...=)

Yes you do need to look to see if u are able to use on damp hair...i used to have a conair w/ ceramic plates and i used it on my damp hair and it just fries your hair and if u want to strighten it while its damp w/ a conair it will frie your hair but thats a risk you take and it takes several stokes to get it stright! DON'T USE CONAIR PEOPLE! ITS THE WORST STRIGHTNER I'VE EVER OWNED! (my opinon) it fries my hair even when its dry!

If you are looking for a quality flat iron under $100.00, Solia is definitely your best bet. smaller plates are easier to handle, I mean my hair is about 4-5 inches below my shoulder and i use 1-1/4" and it works really well for my hair.

Yes, usually using a higher heat setting helps to prolong the straightening effect, also you can use a straightening and anti-frizz serum before and after straightening to help fight off humidity.

Depending on your hair length, if your hair is at least 2-3 inches pass your shoulder, I would recommend the larger size of 1-3/4", otherwise, you should stick with this size 1-1/4". You can order directly online with a credit card

I am 12 and i love this iron. What you do is you use your parent's credit card and pay them back.

I think 1-1/4" is a good choice for you.

I have the same type of hair, and I have found that the 1 and 3/4 inch or larger is the best. It can do wider and more thicker chunks of hair than the smaller irons, and takes less time to do as a result.

Either will do. Smaller one is easier to use, and you can curl with it too. Large one (1-3/4") will straighten your hair faster.
