Are wet to dry hair straightners worth the extra money?

My daughter has very long, thich hair which takes her a long time to dry and straighten. She has asked for wet to dry straighteners. Are they any good or does the extra heat needed to dry her hair cause problems to the structure of her hair?Are wet to dry hair straightners worth the extra money?
If she has long, thick hair (like me) it won't work. It won't save her any time, I promise. I got one hoping it would help and it didn't.Are wet to dry hair straightners worth the extra money?
I have one, and i love it. It is such a timesaver, however, remember to tell her that if her hair is that thick and curly, she will need to do it in very, very small sections, and she will have to go over those sections a few times before they are dry and straight. So in her case it may not save much time at all. People who have hair like mine that in fine to medium, can have their hair done in 10 minutes with a wet-to-dry, but super thick hair will still take a while.
I think you are right! The extra heat will damage her hair.





The solid ceramic type of hair straighteners are the best ones and they need to be used with lots of product to avoid the heat damage (and thats even on dry hair).





I know its time consuming but she would be better off letting her hair dry as naturally as possible then smooth it quickly with solid ceramic straighteners. (and protective product)





Smooth and shine sprays do tend to smell really lovely and make hair look glossy.





***I have quite fine, practically naturally straight hair and I was bought some wet to dry straighteners as a present. They made my hair feel a bit 'straw like' and I stopped using them.
NOOOOO don't do it! My friendbrought some and had thick long hair. Her hair did not look straight and at the first sign of moisture poofed up! It also really damaged her lovely hair and created so many split ends. I use GHDs and they straighten hair from dry and will last until you wash it. It is quick to use and keeps hair nice and straight without damaging it too much. Also, please do not use an iron. It is dangerous and seriously damages hair. If you do not believe me ask a few hairdressers! I have been straightening my hair for years and proper clothes irons are not meant to straighten hair, it will damage the structure and hair!
Oh my Gawd! Don't blow your money BIG mistake lol!! I have long, kinky curly thick hair...it's gorgeous to say the least but looks really pretty straight too. You know how I do it? The old fashion way. I use an iron. You know-the kind you iron your clothes with! I'm serious. With curls I have dry hair from products and the weather but when I use an iron I put a little water in it and it takes me no longer than 10 minutes to get the soft sheek look. Try it and help your daughter just for fun and don't burn yourselves! Trust me it'll work!!! Have fun and good luck!
I have long, wavy, thick hair. I tried one of the wet to dry straighteners and all it did was overstress my hair. Trying to get straight hair is frustrating if you have thick hair. I had a friend that told me about all I could do is: 1) condition my hair every time I wash it, 2) get as much water out of it before I dry it as possible using bath towels, and believe it or not, really absorbent paper towels -- this really cuts the drying time -- and 3) drying the hair straight, a section at a time, using a large vented round brush. This gets it pretty straight and doesn't seem to stress my hair as much.
