Hey sweetie. I've been straightening my hair for 3 years now and I have a hair stylist also. Do NOT straighten your hair wet. When I get my hair done she washes it, blow drys it, uses Chi Silk Infusion on it and then uses a Chi flat iron. The flat iron is anywhere between 120-200 dollars depending on where you go and they have different colors and stuff. And the Silk Infusion is about 12 dollars for a small bottle. It's expensive but it works and keeps your hair looking and feeling smooth and healthy. =]
