Product Rating: 4 this is the best flat iron i have ever used
Reviewer: jackie from florida  Tue Feb 13 2007

Hi thank you so much for having this product. it is the best flat iron i have ever used, and i have tried them all. I have been using the chi hair products but not the flat iron, i really though all of them were the same. i was wrong my hair does not burn with the chi flat iron, also with the other flat irons my hair after 10 mins was curling again. with the chi it stays straight. i love it and it was shipped so fast. thank you so much. jackie

I bought my CHI(now the original model) 5 years ago when th eprice was higher $140.00 I am shocked to see that you can b uy them much cheaper now. All my friends thought I was crazy, untill I let them borrow it and within weeks 2 of them had bought their own. Now I have really thick wavy hair and I can straighten it on my own, but the CHI makes it flat and shiny, people always compliment me on it. Just now in it is starting to short out a little when I move the cord, and so it will turn off and on, it is annoying but all i can say is I've had it for 5 years and it just started, in fact it even outlasted my marriage. But when I first got it my hair was permend and it would take it instantly straight, its not as quick as it use to be but with the price drop, I will most likely just buy another!

I found the flat iron to be an excellent hair appliance. It performs just as well as stated.

Product Rating: 5 Great Product
Reviewer: KC from Houston, TX  Mon Feb 05 2007

I had ordered True Ceramic Pro and turned around and returned it. The quality was not good. I then ordered Chi Turbo and was very impressed with the quality and performance of the product. It really is a great buy. Chi is even cheaper than the True Ceramic Pro and is really a better quality. Great Buy, Great Product!!!

Product Rating: 4 Satisfaction Garanteed!
Reviewer: Jasmine Harrison from Ontario, CA  Sun Feb 04 2007

I recently purchased the CHI flatiron, and am pleased to say that it did exactly what I hoped it would do. I am African-American, and have thick, shoulder-length, frizzy hair. I washed my hair, let it air dry, put some Pantene Pro-V hair serum in my hair, parted it in big sections and warm combed the roots with a pressing comb. Then I used the CHI flat iron to completely straighten and smooth my hair. WOW, my hair has never had such body and shine before. I think I'll keep my money in my pocket and only visit the beauty shop when I need my ends trimmed!

Product Rating: 2 Does not hold up well.
Reviewer: Alicia   Fri Feb 02 2007

Do not waste your money on a Chi. I received mine as a present last April and in December it broke! When you move the cord it shuts off. I cannot keep my straightner on at all now. I also feel that the one year warranty isn't long enough for a $100 product that breaks after 8 months. Obviously this product is not that good of quality. Hopefully they will replace mine. Good luck!

Product Rating: 5 First time flat iron owner...
Reviewer: Michelle from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida  Thu Feb 01 2007

I never owned a falt iron before in my life, but I had recently got my hair cut and the style required it. I was a little nervous to spend that kind of money on a product I wasn't even sure if I would know how to use...but I knew it was a good brand as it is the same one that my stylist has. Anyways, I am really glad that I made the purchase and love the way that my hair looks when I use it. I do try to give my hair a rest and only use it about 3 days out of the week though...

Reviewer: kj from Pearland, Texas  Wed Jan 24 2007

I recently purchased the Chi Turbo and I love it. It has lo/med/high settings and the medium setting works well on my mild relaxed hair. The regular Chi iron got too hot for my hair and left it bone straight without any body. My sister has thick hair and has purchased both the 1 inch and 2 inch chi turbos. I think she uses the high setting.

Product Rating: 5 Best Iron I've Tried!
Reviewer: CT from New York  Wed Jan 24 2007

This is without a doubt the best flat iron i've tried to date. I used to have a Solano and then a Sedu and they were both good irons but this is just the best. It heats up extremely quickly, it's light, it never catches in your hair and it straightens in one sweep-through, which means that my hair is less damaged in the long run. I have very curly hair that I blow dry straight. I never used to flat iron it but I recently got it cut short and it just looks better pin-straight. I am extremely happy with this iron (it gives you that "I just came from a salon" look) and don't forsee myself straying.

Product Rating: 5 Chi Ceramic Flat Iron - Turbo 1" - THE BEST EVER!!
Reviewer: Sandra DuBose from Jacksonville Florida  Fri Jan 19 2007

My hairdresser has been "tsk-tsking" me for years about using cheap store-bought flat irons on my hair. She told me that the reason my hair gets so many split ends and fly-aways is a direct result of being too lazy (or too cheap) to buy a good flat-iron. She also told me that the Chi Ceramic Flat Iron - Turbo is the "industry standard". Finally for Xmas, I bought myself the CHI Cerami Flat Iron. I wish I had listened to her years ago. Besides the obvious improvement in my hair, the time it takes to iron my hair is cut in half - if not more. Did I say I love my Chi flat iron? I LOVE MY CHI FLAT IRON! No, I don't work for the company and am not paid for this review. I'm just a gal who got tired of being chastised from her hairdresser - and very grateful for finally listening to her. : )

Reviewer: Natty from Seattle, WA  Thu Jan 18 2007

I am so impressed with this product. The Chi reputation is no accident. The flat iron is heated in less than a minute, and even with my extremely wavy hair, I only need to go over it once before it's completely straightened!

Definitely buy this product.

Reviewer: Tiffany from Atlanta , GA  Sat Jan 13 2007

I got my Chi in about 4 days. I love it. I get so many compliments on my hair. Folica is a great website to order from.

Product Rating: 5 CHI Ceramic flat iron
Reviewer: lori   Fri Jan 12 2007

I've used this on my chemically relaxed hair and my daughter's thick and curly virgin hair. It worked great for both of us. I really like the temperature variant, and the way the heated surfaces do not extend all the way to the sides of the flat iron (it makes it easier to avoid burns). I ordered one for my sister, and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Product Rating: 5 Excellent!!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Straight, oh yeah!
Reviewer: Brandi from Tennessee  Wed Jan 10 2007

I absolutely LOVE my new CHI Ceramic Flat Iron. It heats up quickly and does a great job on my somewhat unruly hair. I had an older 2 inch flat iron from Wal-Mart, this 1" takes about half the time to use as my older one, even though it is half the size! How great is that?!B

Product Rating: 5 The Greatest!
Reviewer: Helga McClellan from Houston, TX  Wed Jan 10 2007

I have owned numerous flat irons before, which either were ineffective or burned my hair, or both. Not this one. It is fast and effective and leaves my hair soft. I will never own another one!
