They will be on sale, and I would like to buy one! But first! I need expert advice lol...

CHI 1" original iron $119.99, on sale $89.99
CHI 1" pink iron $119.99, on sale $89.99
ProTouch 1 1/4" ceramic iron $38.99, on sale $29.24 (this one seems a
little cheap, i'd like to stick with CHI cuz i've heard great things
lol)

are these good prices? what's the difference between the pink iron and the regular iron? It'd be great if any of you answerers out there would have one or maybe both of them...

if it helps, i have short hair but I want to keep this one for a while (if it doesnt break) and i'm probably going to grow it out. and trust me, my hair grows FAST! lol...

this is my first one so I would also like some advice on straightening, like what i should put on so it doesnt burn, anything else, etc.

THANKS! ANSWERS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH APPRECIATED! sorry for making this question so long
