Try the 1" babyless pro but for the most part all of them do the same thing but there isn't one that you can get that don't damage the hair what you have to do is use a heat protectant product and don't put your flat iron up to high. You want a good medium heat. But don't use heat everyday imbetween use flexi rods the curl holds longer with them as well you can put those on wet or dry hair, or try hot curlers like the conair ones or the babyless pros. All you do is pug the in and the rollers get hot and the heat curls your hair.
All flat irons damage your hair. Most get up to 400 degrees! So some helpful tips are:
- Never use a flat iron on the highest heat setting.
-Use heat protection products (Paul Mitchell Heat Seal is great)
-avoid straightening your hair every day
-Wrap your hair at night (if your hair is shorter) to maintain the smooth look.
Learn to get your hair straight and smooth with your blow dryer. Since most people blow dry their hair after showering, why not go ahead and do the job correctly? Not to mention, hair dryers don't get nearly as hot as flat irons. There are tons of videos on youtube about this. :)
Good luck dear! <3

I used to use the CHI flatiron. It straightened my thick curly hair quite nicely.

i would suggest a NuMe Style flat iron over any other brand. Way better than a CHI. Pricey but worth every single pennny!
