Maury recently had a show where they did makeovers on several young girls and women both, and the gentleman who created the ceramic iron used was also on the show. I'm not usually one for ironing the hair, but it was unbelievable what their hair looked like when they were finished. His iron sold for $100 and I believe you could find it by going to ceramiciron.com. I don't know if they all do the same thing or if they're all as safe as his is, but his didn't damage the hair at all and could be used as often as you liked. Honestly, if I was going to buy one, I think I'd buy one that's already been demonstrated on someone's show and given a seal of approval for use.
