Works great BUT....

The Chi is an amazing straightener,WHEN IT WORKS! I have gone through 2 Chi Straighteners in the past 2 years. Each one has stopped working! When they are working it is by far the best straightener I have ever used... but beware that for $150 straightener they only have about a years worth of life!
BEST FLAT IRON EVER!

Okay, so this is the best CHI I've ever used!! And trust me, I know a LOT about flat irons and all that hair stuff. I've have many chi's in the past, but I have to say the original is much better than any of the other chi's. While they still worked well, they sometimes sparked/didn't heat up/smelled. My first chi, original, hadn't done that. So just to test it out I bought the original again and have had it for a REALLY long time still with no problems. THe problem some people is having is that there's doesn't last long. This is b/c your not taking proper care of it. Don't wrap the cord, keep it in the heat-resistant pouch, and BE CAREFUL!!!! If you think that this is just too much work to deal with, your just being plain lazy. :) No offense but it takes no time or effort.
I've had the best luck with the chi brand, but the original was my favorite. And yes, I've had a Sedu and Solia and I still say chi rocks. I currently have 4 chi's and they are all still working and I've had them all at least 3 years. :):)
Great Service and Great Buy

I have not purchased a CHI, but I have used my friends straighners. The CHI amazed me, st first. I couldn't beleive how straight my hair was, it was the first time it went that straight, without having to go to a salon. At the time I was using a Conair straightner so of course I was shocked. After a while I realized that altough my hair was straight it didn't stay straight for a long time, and if I ever walked outside into the humidity, my hair would get just as frizzy as it would using my conair. My hair is really curly, so during heat, steam, or humidity it tries very hard to return to normal. Also, I've heard that the CHI isn't that durable and you have to replace it constantly. The heat damages your hair to. I also don't like the fact that you can't change the temperature settings. I like the CHI but it doesn't completely work for me.

Worst hair flat iron!
Reviewer:

I received this flat iron for Christmas, and it's the worse hair straightener that i've ever had. While straightening my hair, the chi turns off while i'm in the middle of doing my hair, so my hair statics like crazy. I get very frustrated every time that I use this product. I would not recommend this to any customer looking for even a decent flat iron. My wet to straight was better than this!
still going strong 3 years later

I bought this product three years ago and it's still working great. I have really long, really frizzy hair and it smoothes it out perfectly straight. I sometimes have trouble straightening the hair close to my scalp, but otherwise, it's awesome. Still love it and will buy another of the same if this ever conks out... which I'm hoping it won't anytime soon!
ruined plates
Reviewer:

The plates have ruined and I have only had it for 2 months. They seem to be corroding, and it seems like it burns my hair colour off. I cannot even clean it after I have straightened my hair. No doubt it straightens well, but the plates should last longer than two months before breaking down.
Great while it last...

Ever since I started straightening my hair I have been a Chi only type of girl. This is my third Chi because I dropped my first two and the plates popped out. I have always praised Chi for a wonderful product. Until, a month ago, it just stopped working. At first, it would take much longer to heat up and now it turns on whenever it feels like it. I would only take about 15 minutes to do my hair before (I have really thick/wavy hair) and now it take 25 minutes because I have to constantly mess with the cord for it to turn back on. The really disappointing part is that I got this Chi less than a year ago.
its good...ok...

i have thick frizzy coarse hair.the chi works really good. But the only thing is that it burns ur hair alot! So i had to use alot of silk infusion.
About a month ago i used the Remington Wet 2 Straight it took me about 2 hours to straighten my hair...plus it doesnt even last long...now i use my chi and it only took me 30 mins to straighten.
i would recommen this product to everyone.
also i would recommen the silk infusion....for preventing burning hair. :D
Best flat iron out there!

I love this flat iron! I bought it after my hair stylist suggested it. The only problem I had with it is that the cord developed a short in it and it quit working after 2 years. However, I've been told that if you don't wrap the cord around the body for storage, it should be fine. But still, I'm not complaining. 2 years is a really long time considering I used to have to replace my $20 conair flat iron every 6 months. This product is totally worth it! If you take care of it, it lasts a really long time, and it leaves your hair silky smooth and soft. Also, $72.99 for this flat iron is a steal! If you buy this flat iron anywhere else, you're going to pay at least $120.
Best straightener I've ever owned!

I love this straightener. It heats up in less then a minute, and it straightens my hair in no time. And after I am done, it's shiney and healthy and I get lot's of compliments on my hair all of the time. I would recommend this Chi straightener to everyone and would definitely buy another one when needed.

I'm not sure what the warranty is but i do plan on getting another one eventually. I still love chi's it just sucks that it broke!hey nothing lasts forever.
Best Iron for professionals and consumers!!

I've been a cosmetologist for 8 years and have used Farouk and Chi products for 5-6 years. I bought my first chi iron at a farouk show...I couldn't believe how well they worked and how shiny the hair was afterwards (of course you do need to use a heat protectant).
I have thick naturally wavy hair and it tends to get very "big" if I don't do anything with it. However, when I started to use the chi...I couldn't believe the changes. I use the chi shine infusion spray or the silk therapy to protect my hair. I have never "fried" my hair and hair has been through some stranges "color phases".
After using the chi iron..I convinced my salon owner to invest in farouk and chi products. They are a godsend!
This Iron is definitely worth every penny!!!
I had a SEDU ....
Reviewer:

from Milwaukee, WI Wed Mar 25 2009
I had a SEDU flat iron that I had for about 2 yrs until this week it finally died. It only heats up to a warm temperature (unless I jiggle the toggle for the temp but then it gets extremely hot, hotter than ever so I think its on its way out) and today I just purchased the CHI Original Flat Iron. I've heard nothing but rave reviews on it so I figured for the price I should try it. 2 yrs ago, the SEDU cost me $105.00 and this original CHI is only $80.00. If it lasts me 2 yrs, I guess I'll be happy! I loved the SEDU but wished it would have lasted alot longer than 2 yrs. For those of you who said the CHI doesn't work, I believe you got a lemon!!! I would try and return it.
