CHI irons are being recalled due to fire hazards. Not only that, but they don't last long. My friend had to return hers in a month because it stopped working. Don't waste your money on a CHI. I recommend Sedu. Sedu lasts long and makes your hair silky and shiny.

The first picture is me with Nicholous Cage after we did a movie together, as you can see, I didn't have a Chi hair straightener then.This other picture is my husband and I and I have a Chi hair straightener.I am so impressed with my Chi. My hair is perfect and shiny,it may not be that way in the picture but it feels that way!
Great Result.

The Chi Iron Regular is a great Iron.
But I think I choose for the iron turbo, I think the heat of the iron regular is too hot for my hair.
With a litle bit of silk therapy from biosilk, you have a great result!

The pictures are of me with spiral curls I made with the Chi.. and straight hair using the Chi. I've had my Chi flat iron for a little over 5 years and it worked perfectly up until about January of last year. That's when the light started flickering when I would move the cord. After about 4 months of this it finally stopped working. I know that's a common problem that people have experienced...BUT... it took 4 years for that to happen to my Chi. I found a website that repairs Chi flat irons. It's called Salonart.biz. If you are still under warranty they do warranty repairs for $10. (That's the shipping and handling cost) If it's not under warranty anymore then it's a flat rate of $30 for repairs plus shipping costs. I sent my Chi through the mail to them and it was returned to me within 5 days with a brand new cord. I think the shipping was about $15 if I remember correctly (I live in Hawaii..so shipping is a little more for me than if you live on the mainland). I believe anyone on the mainland U.S. is about $8 for shipping. So $38-$50 (maybe less for mainlanders) isn't a bad deal for the speedy service you get. Better than paying for a new flat iron.
I love my Chi! I should make a comission off of the number of Chi's I've gotten people to buy over the years. And I can't think of anyone who hasn't been happy with their purchase.
LOVE IT

I love this straightner! It works the best on my thick curly hair. It works fast and has the perfect heat setting, people have said they have problems. If mine were to break I would def have to buy another one. It makes my hair so flat, straight, and very smooth. I love to run my hands through it.
Look at these pictures. TOTAL difference!
For the price, it should last!

I bought the CHI straightner for my daughter for Christmas. It worked incredible, the only problem is that six months later, it kept shuting off. As I read the other reviews I see so, so, so many people with the same problem. The straightner shorts out. I wiggled the cord right where the base meets the iron, that's where the problem is. I bent it over and used duck tape to hold it so it won't move. I just feel for the money you spend and the fact that this seems to be a very common problem, they should be able to fix it. Not to easy to get in touch with the warranty Service eithter!!
Works great for now.....

I researched several flat irons for a week before making a desicion on which to purchase. I wanted something that would get the job done and last. Though I read alot about these flat irons quiting after a year, I still found this one to be the best choice. I also tested my friends to make sure it would work on my hair. I have very long, naturally curly, frizzy hair. It works great. I have had it a month. Though it does get very hot and I can see where it would dry out and damage your hair. I do not use it everyday. I also use natural vitamin serums on my hair to help keep it from drying out. People comment on how I can one day have beautiful curls and the next have sleak smooth healthy looking hair. You just have to find the tricks for your hair. It took a while for me but I found them. I do rate this product high. I just hope I still can say that in a year. Thanks...
AWSOME.

So I've been borrowing my friend's chi to straighten my hair, and it's amazing. It makes my hair pin straight, soft, silky, shiny, and flexible! As if I had naturally straight healthy hair. The only thing is that once I go outside and hit humidity, my hair stays straight, but not pin straight and it looses it's flexibility. I'm still considering purchasing one, not exactly full of cash right now. But I will continue to use my friends. :]
The best flat iron

I have owned my Chi for almost 4 years now, and I bought it because my stylist uses it, and said it was the best. Mine finally started to break down, the light would flicker and the cord had to be a certain way for it to stay heated, but after 4 years of constant use- it was worth every penny to have my naturally curly hair smooth, straight, and really shiny- nothing compares to a Chi.

Do not buy, this product only works for a couple months and then it doesn't turn on at all. For the price of this product, it should last for years. I'm dissatisfied with this product.
Love my chi

I bought this flat iron for the first time four years ago. It's traveled from D.C. to Korea to Italy and back to Korea with me. I've dropped it, packed it, twisted the cords, and have had it plugged into more adapters and converters than I can even count. I never had a problem with it, not to mention I've had four years of the BEST hairstyles ever. It even allowed me to get some of those cute short hair cuts that are considered no-no's for us thick, curly, frizzy haired girls. Recently I dropped it and one of the plates popped out(mind you after four years), so I picked up the conair infiniti. It did a good job at straightening and I began to wonder if some the cheaper models had improved. That was until I stepped out into the humidity and found the frizz I had lost four years ago. Needless to say I immediately got online and ordered a new Chi. I absolutely recommend this flat iron. You will be more than satisfied.

The straightener does an outstanding job but they don't last long.
I've sent 3 back within the past few months -- won't heat up or won't stay hot (light goes off and on).
Best thing ever

I read some negative feedback prior to purchasing my CHI. My roommate also has the same CHI as I do, she purchased hers first. We both love it. I have not had any problems with it thus far. And I see it this way, if it lasts a year before it breaks (as stated in some of the reviews), I paid a little over 8 dollars a month to have my hair straight and silky. Worth ever penny to me!
Awesome if you've got difficult hair!

This is one of two straightners that I've used in my life and the other one was European and more expensive. They do the exact same thing! It is so quick to heat up and straighten my coarse, thick hair. Just do not take it to New Zealand, like I did, unless you have an adapter AND a converter. ;) I've attached a picture with friends (I'm the redhead on the far left) and one with my brother. Enjoy tame, straighter hair!
love it!

Well i have had two of these chi's and they were very good but after about a year there would be a short and it just would not heat up. so i would not recommend this unless you just plan on keeping it for a short time
chi saved my life!

I received the Chi as a gift a couple years ago from my fiance. I had never used a flat iron before and was amazed by how great it made my hair look. I never used to spend time styling my very thick, wavy/curly hair but once i got the Chi i was always fixing my hair. Anyway long story short, it worked for me for about 2 years and then as mentioned in other reviews it started shorting out. It was a real pain in the you know what, it took 3 times as long b/c i would have to get the cord at the exact place for it to stay on and then if i barely moved it, it would turn off again. The short in it got so bad that it actually started smoking! (havent tried using it since then). I dont know if this is common, but i know when i would straighten my hair i would wrap the cord around my hand b/c it would get in the way and im thinking that is why it started to short out at the base of the iron where the cord meets it. Overall it is great but as they say all great things must come to an end, and with the Chi it wont take very long. I will be buying another one ;)
