Hairstraightners - which brand should i look for?

Go with the Chi. My step mom has one and it works great! I use it all the time. It takes literally about 5 minutes to straighten my hair (about 2 minutes for the iron itself to warm up) and it stays straight unitl you wash your hair again. They usually go for about $100 but its worth it my step mom has had hers for going on 3 years now and it still works awesome! Whereas with the cheap straighteners usually I have to replace mine every 6 months to a year. :) Hope I helped you!
