What is the best hair straightener for men? I want to try new hairstyles and want to experiment with this device. What brand or specific straightener should I buy for afro/kinky hair? Do I just buy or do I buy any other products to straighten my hair with the straightener? My girl used to use some liquid before doing the straightening, dont know the name but she’d say it was to keep the hair from getting damaged.

Preferably from Amazon as I prefer to buy my hair products from Amazon, saves on the trips to the barbershop and the products there are ridiculously expensive.

Also, I keep hearing the word “flat iron”, is that the same as a hair straightener? Man am I getting confused now that I decided to try some newer stuff on my hair
