I like the CHI a lot! My hair came out super straight and has no fizznizess. However, it might be my technique, but my hair comes out a little limp/dead looking. Overall, I am satisfied with you.
Lasted FOUR YEARS

Im 13 years old, and i bought the Red Chi Flat Iron four years ago. And it still works amazingly. But im ordering the Pink Chi Flat Iron probably today or tomorrow, because i want a fresh new one.
Chi is the best out there.

okay, i just go my chi flat iron, I LOVE IT. it was my graduation gift, ect. I got the chi silk infusion with it, and the got2b luster lotion, THEY ALL ARE PERFECT. now when i straighten my hair i wont feel like its about to turn into a "half-half" sort of deal. i am alittle concerned that it will break if the wire is bent up AROUND the iron, so i just followed the patterned that the chi flat iron wire was already wrapped in. :)
Its pretty awesome

I don't have this exact CHI but I have a similar one thats just different colored. I think this works quite spendidly but the reason it lost a star is because it doesnt have temp. adjustable switch, it sort of leaves a dent/crimp in your hair if not used correctly, and it doesnt heat up that quickly. But overall its pretty good (:
GREAT straightener!! but...

this is a great straightener it definatly works. i love it and i've never used a starightener that could get your hair more straight. the only problem is how hot it gets which over time damages your hair and drys it out. if only it had a heat setting than maybe it would be the best.
IM ANGRY!!

i bought my CHI about 2 years ago now and I was so excited because I had always read really good reviews on it. However, the CHI is a little talked up. I have long thick hair that is semi wavy and I used to straighten it alot. The CHI always pulls my hair and it gets way hotter then it needs to in order to do a good job. I would recommend an iron that has heat settings because if your hair isn't super curly then the straighten doesn't need to be that hot...it just damages your hair.
In the long run, It was a bad ide to buy

I was a huge fan of my chi flat irons. Let me tell you, I have purched a new chi every year. I am so sick of my chi breaking. First the plates came out, the second one i droped it one time and it stoped turning on, then the plug part came off. I used to not use a chi and my hair was alot healthier. IF YOU WANT HEALTHY HAIR AND WANT IT TO BE LONGER...dont use the chi, it fried my hair soo bad. I have bad bad split ends now, and it stresses me out. For how much it is, its not worth it in the end. it will either break or get too hot and kill your hair. bad bad chi, im moving on to sedu!
Broke in 7 months

Worked fine for months, then nothing. Considering the price, we won't get another.

I am African American with thick shoulder lenght hair. I do not have course hair though. I love my Chi flat iron I have purchased so many others and had to return it. I do relax my hair sometimes but no other flat iron makes my hair so soft and silky. If you have to money invest in one if you want you hair to look and feel shiney.
i know there's a better one out there...

i have been using the CHI original 1" flat iron for about 5 years. I have been faithful and everytime it breaks I keep going back and getting another one of the same irons. The last straw for me was when I was on a business trip last week and as soon as I plugged my CHI into the outlet in the hotel's bathroon it sparked and a small flame almost hit my face. To be so far away from home and have no means of straightening my hair was terrible. I had to borrow a co-workers iron that costed her about $20.00 two years ago. Mine was $120.00 and lasted only about 1 year. Sorry CHI, It's OVER!!! I'm moving on to the Sedu....

for those of you with problems with your chi turning off or "breaking", its probably because you're not taking care of it properly!
I've had my chi for 2 years and its still in perfect condition. I never wrap my cord and I unplug it regularly so there aren't any eletrical shortages. I've never had any issues with it "turning off" during straightening unless I accidenally turned it myself. I've traveled with it, its been dropped on the ground & flown across the country, but it still gets my hair stick straight. If you're having problems with frizzing, its probably the PRODUCT you're using on your hair, NOT your CHI! Try Kenra Aquage silkening mists.
All in all, my CHI works as well as GHD (which I also have at home) or Sedu!
I know this sounds dorky, but...It changed my life!

Before I ever used the Chi, I had a bunch of cheap irons such as a hand-me-down from a friend, that was of the Hot Tools brand. Sure, Hot Tools brand did a good job of straightening my hair, but for about five minutes! The humidity would get to my hair minutes before I even stepped out the door! But then one night when I was going to a wedding with my aunt, not only did the Chi make my hair pin straight, shiny, and gorgeous, it lasted on a rainy day, something my straightener at home could only dream of doing! I am in complete love with the Chi straightener, because it has done the impossible: it has tamed my head of tiny spiral curls! I can not wait until I get one for my birthday next month, because if I don't get one I will die a person with terrible, untamable hair. Thank God for the Chi hair straightener!!!
best!!!!

I had a pink chi i got last feb. for my birthday. It worked fine until seven or eight months. then it just totally stopped working. it shorted out or something. so i exchanged it and i got the regular black one...it finally broke on me just now. it again shorted out and i only had it for maybe 5 or 4 months. it makes your hair straight however it kills your hair because you cant set the heat and it gets too hot. I dont reccomend it for anyone.
CHI!!

WEll at first i was hesataint about the CHI beacuse of all the controversy over the CHI and the power issue, but i have used my friends on my super curly and course hair and it turned my hair into a silky straight wonder. SO i came on folica.com to see which straightner is best and i narroed it down to a Sedu and a CHI, and at first my attention was focus on the sedu. But i knew that thr CHI would make my hair as wonderful as before, so i purchased the CHI. and... well i love my CHI it used to take me 2hrs to make my hair pin straight and the CHI cut that in half and also with CHI infra shampoo and thrmal treatment along with the CHI silk infusion my hair is pin straight and stays that way i love CHI and will continue to use their products
