Chi Review

Wed Apr 04 2007
I bought the Chi expecting the results that the other reviewers of this product had. However, I did not. My hair is very curly but it has been relaxed several times so now it is just wavy when it is blown dry. Since my hair is not totally unmanagable like some of the other reviewers I expected to be impressed. The Chi does work better than my $20 walmart straightener that is over a year old but just slightly. I do not think this product is worth the money. I will not recommend it to others.
Great invention

I have tried many flat iron products and this by far is the best. On my natural hair, I can achieve the best stratening results.
not good

my straightener shorted out and stopped heating up like it hsould and i am now sending it back to get repaired.
Before it started shorting out though, it worked VERY well.
i love it!! (:

wow it's wonderful, i've had this flat iron for two (going on 3) years, and its has yet to quit on me! so i am every satisfied. but i usually spend about and hour every morning straightning my hair, and it usually dosn't stay as straight as i would like it to at school, even if it's not raining, and i even use straightning lotion. but other than that it's absoultly fablous. i strongly recomend it!
Broken down after just 3 months

While this product worked, it was fantastic,i have thick african american hair and it did miracles for my hair.
Until a few days ago when it just stopped working.
I am very dissapointed,I wish i head read these reviews before I bought it, as I can see there are more people who've had this problem :(
Definitely a waste of money
Excellent

I really like the efficiency and control that the Chi offers, but the Turbo 1" is too short, so I can only straighten very small amounts of hair at a time. Even then, I have to be careful so that the hair does not come out one of the ends. The other problem is that I have to squeeze the handle very tightly and keep the other end closed with my other hand in order to keep the Chi Flat Iron closed.
I like the Iron, but I have to say that I am a little disappointed in this product, as I was expecting it to be significantly better than my previous iron. It is better - just not three-times-the-price better.
great price

Well i purchased the CHI turbo 1'' almost a year ago and let me tell you it does straighten your hair great! (especially if you use CHI's iron gaurd with the CHI silk infusion - your hair will feel oh so silky and healthy) I have wavy, frizzy, color treated hair and it looks a hot mess after i blow dry it, after using the straightner you would think i had naturally straight hair! BUT i did notice that the iron started to run out of "juice" recently. There is a red light that used to stay glow when i had the iron on but now it flickers on and off when I use it and does not get as hot as it used to. I still use it, but it doesnt work as good as when i first got it. I would recommend that if you buy it DO NOT wrap the cord around the iron when your not using it I think that is why mine is starting to go out on me (of course i read this in the little booklet thing after i had been wrapping the cord around it for months) But in the end this straightner is pretty darn good.

This iron is FABULOUS! I bought it for my 18 year old daughter who is VERY PICKY about what she uses in and on her hair. She loves it and is the envy of all her friends! It heats up well, is easy to manage and the 1" width is perfect for her needs. She has long, thin hair and when she uses the CHI, her hair looks beautiful. Thanks for making me a very popular mom!
LOVE IT!

I absolutely love this product. My hair is naturally super curly and frizzy. I air dry my hair and then pass the Chi through it and in 30 minutes my hair is silky smooth. I love it!
I LOVE MY CHI!!

I will not go anywhere without my Chi!!!!
Forget other flat irons...there is NOTHING like the Chi!!
It is hot in a moment....turn it on and use it and turn it off....that is how easy it is!! I ALWAYS keep mine on the Pouch that comes with it for free if you buy it on this website...and is a great way to store it as well.
What can I say?? I LLOOVVEE MY CHI!!
Not bad, but not the best

I got one these babies when my hair stylist used a flat iron for the first time in my life.
I have long, wavy, think Asian/American hair and it made my stubborn hair into luscious, silky, stunning hair! I was soooo impressed that I turned around and bought this a few days later.
Just recently, I used the Bion Japanese Straightner 2 inch seems to work better for my hair. So that is why, I am just giving it 4 stars. I think I will just keep it around as a spare.
Love it!!!

I've had my CHI Turbo 1" for 2 years (seems like longer!). Mine was a gift, from my mother, that I had asked for. I have loved it ever since. It doesn't get regular use, but is still like new when I go to plug it in and turn it on. I find it easy to curl under my ends. I use to have shorter hair, and this was excellent for that, too. I just recently bought the CHI Turbo Dryer and I hope I have as great of results that I've had with my Flat Iron!
Not as good as I thought

So I got this CHI thinking it was going to be a wonderful product! Let me just say, beware. I have to admit that it did a pretty good job at straightening my hair but it was a waste of my money in the end. I have had my CHI straightener for less then a year and it just quit working. I have taken good care of it and one day the light just stopped turning on and there was absolutly no heat. I sent my CHI to Farouk since they advertise on THIS WEBSITE that they have a warranty (one of the reasons I bought this in the first place). I have yet to recieve my CHI back from Farouk and its been 2 months. I called today and they informed me that since it was purchased through this website it does not qualify for a warranty and the faulty device will be sent back to me.
As I understand, this device has had similar problems of "just stopped working" as mine. I am very dissapointed in this product as well as this site who advertises the fact that there is a warranty. SO BEWARE!

Love the Chi, everybody uses the Chi iron. Friends and my hair dresser. Get's very hot fast. Leaves hair shiny and streight, and my hair is wild looking. But with the Chi, you would not think so.

The product did not do anything that I expected out of the Chi Turbo. I have sent it back for the original.
