Gift Your Hair Goddess a New Flat Iron

A great gift idea for that lady in your life who loves sleek hair is a flat iron, be it your teenage daughter, niece, wife or mom. Even if she has a flat iron - and, yes, your hair goddess probably does - it's still a great gift because the technology just keeps getting better and better. Many of today's flat irons are less damaging, style faster and even give you the option of creating waves or curls. Here are some of our favorites:

HSI flat iron - For a limited time, this particular model comes with a free sample of argan oil. Ninety percent of the reviews for this product are 4 star and higher, but some women felt it was too bulky, pulled their fine hair or didn't heat up fast enough. See more about this iron here.

• Straighten, flip and curl your hair
• Adjustable temperature from 240 F to 410F to suit all hair types
• Ceramic/tourmaline ion plates to give a shinier, silkier result in lesser time
• 1 inch plate width, wide enough for any hair length and hair types, yet narrow enough for bangs
• Transform frizzy, dull hair into gorgeously straight, sleek locks

Corioliss flat iron - The UK company makes a variety of straighteners of varying sizes, features and materials. While they make flat irons with ceramic plates, they say their titanium plate models are smoother and less damaging on hair. (You can read some Corioliss flat iron reviews here.)
