Maybe some people are not as lucky but the Chi I have and have had for almost 5 years, works great. I also use the Chi heat protector and my hair always turns out soft after straightening it. Humidity does not even have a chance [= I don't know about you but the Chi works for me.!
AMAZING!!

Well, i finally got my chi, and i must say it has worked a wonder on my hair. I had gotten some off brand wanna be chi, but it fell apart, i believe it was the hot tools something of the other, which i wrote a review and put pictures in, and i gave it good ratings cuz it did do the best out of the flat irons i had, but the CHI Kicks its butt by far!!!! Now my hair is all flowy, and i dont even have a relaxer in..YAy ME!!
LOVE it!

The CHI is the hands down must have flat iron. Didn't burn my hair or give me split ends. and my hair looked great and shiny with no oils or serums.
amazing!

I love the Chi. It works perfectly. It took me awhile to learn how to straighten hair correctly, but now I can get it stick straight and super shiny quickly! I always use the Chi thermal protection spray first so the Chi doesn't damage my hair. It heats up really quickly. The only thing is be careful touching your hair while you're straightening because you can burn your hair.
Pretty good.

well after reading the reviews i was pretty hesistant to get a CHI, but now that i have one i love it.
i live where the humidity is super high and for the most part my hair stays straight. It doesnt dull out my hair like cheaper straighteners have, and honestly it works better for me than the Sedu (i have one).
The only complaint i have is that it snags on my hair, and there are always a few strands ripped out. I also have heard of it breaking really easily so im always very delicate with mine.
I love my CHI!

I love my CHI! It works wonders on my hair... I will never go anywhere without it. Great product! The prices on this website or as low as you will find them promise... I have looked at other places and at one particular salon they were charging $110.00 more for the same thing here!
awesome! but can damage your hair

i used to have a $25 flat iron from target and i used it for about a year and my hair is not too fried... my aunt had this flat iron and shes had it for about two years and it was working VERY VERY well but recently the flat iron would turn on and off and you would have to turn the cord at thr right place for it to stay on. its kind of a pain but it still works when the cord is in the right place.
i was saving up for the blue and black tourmaline ceramic flat iron but my aunt sent her CHI one to me so i dont need the blue one anymore....
The best strightener EVER!!!

This has got to be the best straightener I've ever used in my entire life! I tried the T3 straightener which absolutely fried my hair and did not even straighten it. Then I got the Chi and I fell in love with it. It's all I'm going to be using from now on. Of coarse, like any straightener, overusing it will damage your hair, and there is not way to get around that. But, you can use products to help with that, such as heat protector and my personal favorite, the Redken EXTREME collection, which repairs damaged hair. The Chi gets the job done, and in minimal time to. I'm guessing it takes me about 15 minutes, 20 minutes most? Where with my old Corioliss it took nearly an hour. I love it and would recommend it to anybody!
Don't know what the fuss is. I love my CHI uron

I've had my CHI flat iron for about 6 years. I haven't had a single problem with it til today. One of the plates came lose but is fixable with a high heat epoxy. I feel I got my money's worth with this item. I have no complaints. The claims about it frying hair haven't been my experience at all. Any iron at any temp can fry your hair if not used properly. It depends on the user. That fact that this one is ceramic makes it awfully hard to actually fry your ends unless too big of a section of hair is being done over and over again and the iron is left in for too long. Any stylist will tell you to straighten small sections layer by layer for best results. If you keep any ceramic iron in your hair for too long it will cause damage. I have very wavy, coarse hair and have had no problems getting shiny straight split-end FREE locks. I am naturally dark blonde and have platinum highlights and this hasn't been an issue either. This is a great iron at a great price. When mine finally dies, I'll most likely purchase another CHI. 1st pic is from 6 years ago. My CHI worked great then. 2nd pic is from winter 07... My CHI still works great. I have chin length hair now and it's still straitening with out damaging.
love it

I bought my chi 3 months ago. Great flat iron but it is too hot for blonde colored hair. My hair is not damanaged from bleaching but from the flat iron. My ends break off when strightening. Great for brunettes but not colored blondes.
I used one before and loved it now...Hate it

I've had my Chi for over 3 years, I've dropped it numerous times and the covering is cracked but it still works great!! I have super course, thick, curly hair and I can get it stick straight in no time.

I absolutely LOVE my CHI. Its the only straightener that auctually straightens my hair. Where i'm from we have horrible humidity problems, but when i use my Chi flat iron i don't have to worry, my hair won't frizz or anything. Chi is the only product i would use in my hair.
You get what you pay for!

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter. She absolutely loves it! She has thick hair and was using a lesser-quality hair iron. She was always frustrated standing in front of the mirror for several minutes trying to get her old iron to straighten her hair. No that she has CHI, she looks great and is off and running out the door in no time. Thank you Folica.com!
I LOVe my CHI!!!

I purchased the CHI about 2 years ago and used to straighten my hair all the time. I have frizzy, wavy/curly hair and it did a good job straightening it, but it made my hair look dull and dead. Once i realized that it was completely killing and frying my hair i started to straighten it less and less. I would always use a protectant before straightening, but it was still horrible. Now, I don't straighten my hair at all and i still have millions of split/dead ends. It's also broken now and rips my hair out. I don't reccomend purchasing this iron. I just ordered the new Sedu but have yet to receive it. I'm hoping that one is a lot better.
