the 1 inch is better if you have shorter, thinner hair and the 2 inch for thicker, longer hair. i have longer hair that is super thick and very wavy/curly. it does what it wants and i think the 1 inch does nothing for me yet i love my 2 inch it gets the job done in 20 minutes! good luck!

yes, i have the exact same kind of hair and this straightener is the best thing ive ever bought.. it will work for you. but just a tip.. it sometimes doesnt always leave your hair straight for a super long time.. so it helps if you use a brush when you staighten it and spray a little hairspray on the brush and then run it through your hair.. it deffinetly worked for me! hope i helped!

I have the exact same hair and its past my shoulder blades. I have had the chi turbo for about 7 months and it has never kept my hiar straight for more than an hour or two and still frizzy. I even tried putting in products after to tame the frizz and straightening it several times throughout the day but it still ends up wavy and extremely dry. I recently bought a straightener called the ISO and it only takes one pass through each section of hair to straighten, and it leaves my hair soft and shiny and flat as ever with no products.

This CHI iron has an adjustable range (on the side of handle) from 100 - 410 degrees. You have to be carefull not to use a setting to high, my sylist gave me the following guide: 300 - fine hair 330 - thin hair 350 - normal hair 370 - wavy hair 410 - thick/ coarse hair Hope that helps!

I have been using chi for well forever, the light flashing is normal.

Was it helpful to you?

the light flickering is normal.. when you first plug it in the red light comes on to let you know that it is on.. and then once it reaches the designated tempitature you set it at.. the light will flicker to let you know that it is ready.

i live in texas so it is soo humid too, i have curly frizzy hair and i have to chi turbo 2". i love it, the chi keeps my hair soft and straight all day!

buy chi!! use it with infusium 23's leave-in conditioner --- W_O_W! you will not believe it's your hair not poofing out as soon as you step outside. worth every single penny! but always start out low and move up -- you should only need two swipes through each section of your hair -- good luck!

I live in Louisiana too and we have the same hair type. My hairdresser used the Chi Turbo 2 on my hair and I was amazed. No frizz and stayed straight for days. She said that buying the Chi Turbo 2" was the only iron she will ever use again after trying many different brands. Using it is easy and I highly recommend it.

In addition to the iron, try using an anti-humectant on your hair to keep the excess moisture out. I recommend Aveda's Brilliant Anti-humectant.

you can always use it with an adaptor

Was it helpful to you?

Not Sure that all you need is an adaptor. You need a converter aswell. But the problem is, that most travel converters are not powerful enough for items that use 220v.

I've had the Chi turbo 2" for about a year, and it shows no signs of slowing down. I also suggest that if you have just wavy hair and it is about shoulder length, you should get the 1".

Was it helpful to you?

The 2" does have a temperature control, and it is true that the red velvet on the outside of the Chi Turbo prevents you're hands from burning. I definitely suggest the turbo 2" because it does an amazing job and it protects you're hair from damage that the original doesn't.
