Product Rating: 5 The love of my life.
Reviewer: jessemaclover   Wed Sep 02 2009

If your looking for a new straightener this would be my #1 recomendation.
I love it! I have THICK, frizzy, wavy hair and this made my hair shiny, soft, straight, and very managable.
I love it, and its very affordable.
what I love most, is that it keeps your hair straight for sooooo long! my hair stayed PERFECTLY straight for two whole days. thats increadible.
with my old striaghtener, I would have to re straighten every couple hours..now i do it once and im good for two whole days!
i love the CHI!!!<3


Product Rating: 3 Disappointing!!
Reviewer: Daniella   Thu Aug 27 2009

i had the chi and i absolutely loveddd itt!!
however, a few months ago i tried to plug it in & use it like a usually do but it wouldnt work. i tried different plugs in my house and even on different days!!! i had to use my old big fat heavy flat iron in the time being and it was just awful!!! so when they say 1 year warrinty they really mean it. . . D:

Reviewer: Natasha   Mon Aug 24 2009

I loved the straightener at first but, after 2 years it just would not turn on!!! I was so sad and we don't know why it just broke.

Product Rating: 5 I love the chi.
Reviewer: Audrey from Monroe, WA   Fri Aug 21 2009

I have curly hair, and it's really frustrating, because I used to straighten it with the conair infiniti, you know, the red wet to dry one, and it just made my hair big, frizzy waves, no matter what I did. At this point my hair was pretty long, but then I got a hair cut and chopped off all the length, last September. I got the straighter in May, I think, and it works great, it heats so fast, and even if I don't notice it, people compliment me on how shiny and smooth my hair is now. I have the original chi. It's amazing. :)

Product Rating: 5 love it
Reviewer: Lynn from Philadelphia, PA  Thu Aug 20 2009

I've had this straightening iron for... 4 or 5 years now. I've dropped it several times and it's only just starting to show signs of nearing the end of its life. Straightens pin straight with just a few passes, doesn't fry my hair, curls and crimps... what more could you ask for?

Product Rating: 5 Lovve the Chi.
Reviewer: Gina from Nashville, TN  Wed Aug 19 2009

Everyone has been raving about the Solia, which is ok but not nearly as wonderful as the Chi! Makes my extremely curly, thick hair into a pin straight beauty! I totally recommend it to anyone who wants super straight, soft, and gorgeous hair(:

Product Rating: 3 Not worth the money
Reviewer: Holly from Florida  Mon Aug 17 2009

It did a nice job in straightening my hair but it the iron DIED after I bought it 1.5 years ago. Of course the warrenty was only good for 1 year so I'm out...

Product Rating: 2 disappointed
Reviewer: Tonya   Mon Aug 17 2009

The iron works great, when working! Unfortunately it doesn't last very long. I had mine for a little over a year then it quit working one day. A friend had one as well -- same thing happened. I would not recommend this product to anybody.

Product Rating: 5 Chi Straightner is the BEST
Reviewer: Lindseyyyy from Fresno, CA  Fri Aug 14 2009

I ordered my CHI from folica & received it about a week ago. I LOVE my CHI starightner it keeps my hair smooth and soft. Takes me 5 minutes to straighten my hair. I reccomend this product to EVERYONE it's a life saver.

Product Rating: 5 A Must for Straightening Hair!
Reviewer: Karla from Houston, TX  Fri Aug 14 2009

My first Chi lasted for 6 years. (Actually, it still works. It just doesn't get as hot as it used to.) I loved my iron, but I was convinced by others that the quality is no longer the same. That's when I bought the Sedu Flat Iron since it had such great reviews. After suffering from frizzy and dry hair caused by the Sedu for weeks, I decided it was time to order a Chi. My hair is now shiny and silky looking again. I am writing this review, so people don't waste their time and money (UPS charge) on another iron.

Product Rating: 2 Not worth the $$
Reviewer: Charlotte from Edmonton, AB  Tue Aug 11 2009

Don't waste your money... or atleast have a backup after 14-16 months because that seems to be the average life-span for one

Product Rating: 5 LOVE MY CHI
Reviewer: Alyssa   Sun Aug 09 2009

I ordered a CHI flat iron off of here and i got it in 4 days...well anyway let me talk about the actual flat iron. It works amazing!!! I have extremely layered hair that would never flat iron. But my CHI works perfectly and it slides through my hair so easy. I get a pretty,silky && pin straight look every time!!! I am in love with this flat iron. lol, if you are thinking of getting this one off here, buy it and you won't regret it. In my opinion it is amazing :D

Product Rating: 5 Awesome!!!
Reviewer: Holli   Fri Aug 07 2009

Product Rating: 5 Great !! : )
Reviewer: Charly   Tue Aug 04 2009

This was the first time ive gotten a good company flat iron, before i had a conair. and it sucked it allways pulled at my hair and it took forever to heat up, it was to heavy and clunky.
But then i got the chi for my birthday, and i loveeee it, it doesnt pull at my hair, and it really light and smooth feeling,
I naturally have curly hair that doent do well with the out doors, but now my hair acually stays straight when i go outside. i loveeeeee my new chi : D

I'd bought this Chi flat iron from the place where I get my hair done, however, I'd bought it for a little over $100. I say it was a waste of my money. It had worked very well for the first couple months, then the wire detached itself somehow. Maybe it was not handling it well, but i also noticed that the performance decreased more and more everytime i used it and i spent at least 2 hours straightening my shoulder-lenghth hair, after under 6 months. For all you daily flat iron users, i suggest not buying this product if you want flat, straight hair in less time. I do, however, suggest a Sedu flat iron, like the one suggested on the homepage. I am a thirteen year old, daily flat iron user, and i strongly suggest NOT to buy this flat iron. If you want quality that is worth your money, invest in a Sedu or Paul Mitchel!

Product Rating: 3 It works better than most irons, but still has glitches
Reviewer: Ellen from Florida  Sun Aug 02 2009

I've had my CHI since july of last year. It worked so well compared to the other irons I had before, but overtime I noticed my hair drying out. I would NOT recommend this to someone that lives in humid weather because your hair will stay nice for 10 minutes then frizz and become wavy/curly again. This is a good straightener for someone that doesn't straighten their hair alot and/or doesn't live in humid weather.

Product Rating: 5 amazing
Reviewer: katie morgan from south carolina  Fri Jul 31 2009
