Soo, I finally dished out $100 and another $14 for a chi air flat iron and a bottle of chi 44 iron guard spray. I also bough before that and used for about 2 weeks (I'm still using it fyi) a bottle of Pantene pro-V sleek & smooth Shampoo & conditioner with argon oil to help tame the frizzes which helped a decent bit but, as I said, I bought the iron & the spray hoping this would make my hair stay nice, flat, and beautiful including in the heat and wind but, sadly, it's only helped so much. My hair still puffs up some (Not as bad but still bad) when I walk in the heat & or wind and so, by the time I walk 8-10 minutes to a building, it will need brushing again to make it look somewhat flatish and decent. So I finally said, ok, the hair stylist that made it flat and STAYED FLAT did such a good job, and told me I'd need a $100 flat iron along with a tub (Jar) of American crew styling cream so, I shall just buy that, then I later realized, wait, she didn't know I was trans (Was presenting as male back then) so, I bet that is for men only (or at least a male product) and when I finally find the stuff, sure enough, it said it was a male product. -_- (I will ONLY use female products, I refuse to use something that is a male product)

So, here I am, with a $114 iron & spray that, while works nicely, doesn't get the job done alone, so, what product can I use to keep it flat? I should say, my hair is THICK and BUSHY. Also, as I said, the flat iron I bought is a chi air and goes up to 410 degrees which is the only setting I've used so far. (I can't see the lower setting doing a better job then the higher) So, is there a flat iron you know will work for my hair?

As per recommendations of my hairdresser - and he knew I am trans and had specific needs and issues :). Works as a charm - the only drawback, You need to wash Your hair on a daily basis.
