Pretty Much Wahl or Ghd are the ones that I personally buy. I've bought all the cheaper ones.. but the last remington i had blew up in my hand.. not died.. like literally blew up. i had black all over my hand and up my arms and peeling skin.. was quite painful. Wahl and Ghd may seem expensive but are a great investment i bought my wahl from Norris Hair Supplies a pink slim line one for 40 bucks.. best purchase i've ever made.. it takes half the time my remington did.. i only have to run it through my hair once instead of spending three four goes on the one part of hair cause my hair is really really really thick
