i was just wondering because i would like to get a flat iron just to use occasionally but i still want to make sure i get the one that's the safest for your hair........oh and does anyone know a specific one i could get at walmart - preferably a cheaper one?

Yes, they're the best. Conair is probably the best brand you can get cheap. If you're willing to spend some money, Chi is the best. But if you're not going to use it everyday, it's probably best to get a cheaper one.
