CHI Ceramic Flat Iron (Turbo 1" Digital)

I too have thin hair. I have a CHI. But, don't recommend it. Get something cheaper. (but, stay with a ceramic) Also, what helps me. If I only straighten the top layer of my hair, I have volume that lasts.

Go with the 1 inch in whichever you buy. Its so much easier and works just as well and fast. Make sure you look at customer reviews also before purchasing a product. I wish i had!

Place the irons about 4cm from the scalp grasping the hair and then, using a twisting action with the wrist, slowly turn the irons rotating while wrapping the hair around the iron. Slowly pull the irons around and slide as you go until the hair slips just off the ends. For more details & step-by-step photos: http://www.nzgirl.co.nz/articles/5381

Hello. i came across your quesion and even though it was from December 2005 i see nobody ever answered you. My name is Natasha and I am a hair stylist and have been for 7 years. My salon lives thrives off of all farouk products. With the chi straightener you can curl your hair as follows: Take a few patches of hair at a time. Approximately half of your fore finger length and curl it in the form of a spiral (SHIRLEY TEMPLE CURLS). Be sure to start the hair from the tip and spiral up to your scalp and hokd it there for approxiametly 15-20 seconds (BE SURE NOT TO BURN YOURSELF) and loosely pull the chi down in a spiraling position and WAA LAA....BEAUTIFUL SOFT CURLS. this will goves you a full bouncy look. And if you just want some loose flowing curls follw the sme direction except do not spiral the curls. Curl them as you would with a curling item. GOOD LUCK and I hope this helps Bye now Natasha Philadelphia Salon

CHI Turbo has temperature control whereas the original does not. I personally like original better I think it works better.

anything that applies heat to your hair does damage your hair. i love my CHI i have colored fine hair as well and it keeps the rizz away all day long!

Always straighten your hair when it is fully dry.

NO NO NO! Do NOT attempt to straighten your hair wet with the chi, not only will it steam like mad, possibly burning you, it will cause horrible damgage to your hair.

If you are using an adapter, it won't work. If you are using a converter you have to make sure that you get one that is especially made for devices that heat up. Regular converters won't give you enough power to heat an iron.

be careful using it overseas... i used mine in australia with a converter/adapter for "heat-producing devices" and it blew the first time i used it!!

I tried using a heating appliance converter and adapter system for my CHI in Russia, and it got fried and died. I even checked the wattage range of the converter, but no luck. I recommend getting one of those palm-sized revlon models that has dual voltage 110/240 volts for overseas travel. They are not as good as the CHI, but will save you the expense of buying a new CHI, which is what I am doing right now.

i would not advise you to use it overseas with an adaptor. mine, as well as my friends burnt out when we did that!!

I heard from my stylist that CHi original is the better one and turbo has more complaints on it
