Product Rating: 5 Changes my Hair Completely
Reviewer: kaitlin from north dakota  Wed Aug 15 2007

I have huge puffy triangle shaped hair, when i bought the Chi Turbo 2" is totally changed my hair. It cut the time in half and it made to finished product way more sleek and smooth. Before i was using a really cheap conair one and it did a horrible job, it wouldnt even stay straight because it couldnt get hot enough. so when i tried the Chi i was sooo suprised at the results. My only problem is i bought it in april and it suddenly died on my in august. Im not sure what happened, but im getting another one because i was so happy with the first.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent Product!
Reviewer: Melissa from Japan  Wed Aug 15 2007

Well worth every penny! Folica delivered it quickley and it has a great bag and mat that comes with the Chi. Heats up fast, has multiple heat settings and the ceramic plates make a big difference when straightening thick hair! Will never go back to the inexpensive regular store brands.

Reviewer: Jamie from Benton KS  Wed Aug 01 2007

I have very thick hair. This flat iron is by far the best I have ever used. The combination of hair product that I use and the high quality of the Chi flat iron, my hair is so much smoother and managable. I had used the 1" Chi flat iron before and liked it, but the 2" is much better with the amount of hair that I have. Thanks for such a great product, and the great price!!

Reviewer: christine from selden NY  Wed Aug 01 2007

I have very curly hair that frizzes with just a drop of humidity. I have owned several flat irons, sedu, hot tools etc.. I have to say the Chi is the absoulte best. not only does it get my hair pin straight, but it stays that way even in high humidity. would definetely reccomend it. The only downfall is that the cord does not last that long maybe two years if your careful with it and dont wrap it around the iron and no one takes it back if that does happen and no one can fix it. but I still find it worth the money even though I have to buy a new one every year!!

Product Rating: 5 Wow, Nice Flat Iron
Reviewer: Patti from Okemos, MI  Thu Jul 19 2007

I have heard of this brand flat iron in the past but never wanted to spend the money. I decided to give it a try and I am very impressed. It heats up very fast! Use care not to burn your hair. I love it. I give this one two thumbs up definitely. It also included a pouch which is very nice too.

Reviewer: anonymous   Tue Jul 17 2007

I have long, thick, wavy hair and could not find a product that would straighten it without taking a ton of time. I purchased the 2" CHI in hopes to cut down on time and endless amounts of money on other products. The Turbo has been wonderful to me, as well as my hair! Now it only takes half of the time to get my desired look. I am very impressed with this product.

Product Rating: 4 Product works well
Reviewer: Gina from Atlanta  Tue Jul 17 2007

The Chi FlatIron performs as it claims. It's a great straightener. The Chi takes my hair from naturally wavy/curly to silky straight with minimal effort. What I love most about this flatiron is that it takes relatively no time for it to go from cold (off) to hot (on!).

My only wish: that the barrel/flatiron part was longer.

Reviewer: Cynthia from Palm Desert, CA  Mon Jul 16 2007

I love my flat iron! My hair is long and thick/coarse. This straightens my hair in seconds. It heats up quickly and I don't have to run it over my hair again and again to get the straightness that I want. Literally, it takes minutes to do my whole head of hair. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Product Rating: 5 I love the CHI
Reviewer: Massiel Martinez from Miami  Mon Jul 16 2007

I love the CHI!! I've had CHI irons since I was 15...I am 21 now so you can obviously tell it works great! I decided to get the 2 inch turbo CHI because it holds more hair making it a quicker process.....I have curly hair and the CHI leaves my hair super straight!! It is a great investment for any hair type...straigt hair, cury hair, nappy hair etc.... The only iron I have seen leave hair straight not to mention that every good salon owns a CHI!

Product Rating: 5 AMAZiNG TO ME.
Reviewer: Cecilia from California  Fri Jun 15 2007

So I just started using my chi and already I am so satisfied. It takes me 20 minutes to straighten my thick and long hair. it used to take me at least 40minutes. it makes my hair shine, soft, and really straight. I love it and it was totally worth the money.

Product Rating: 5 AWESOME
Reviewer: Ashley Rodgers   Wed Jun 13 2007

I have super curly, thick, long, frizzy hair and it works amazing. I've used alot of other straightners but none of them have worked near as well. Love It!

Reviewer: Dee Dee from Florida  Wed Jun 06 2007

I bought this straightner for my daughter for Christmas. Yesterday she told me it's not working any more - less than 6 months for a $100+ straightner - this makes me upset. She has long thick hair and used it often which is why I went online to find a good one. I read a few bad reviews before I bought it and guess I should have realized it good happen to me too.

Product Rating: 2 Stops working after 8 months
Reviewer: Mare V from Philadelphia, PA  Tue May 29 2007

As several of the reviews already mentioned - the CHI worked great when I first received it. I used Hot Tools before then, and the CHI worked wonders in comparison. However, I've only had my CHI for about 8 months and it just stopped working well this past weekend - it just doesn't get as hot as before. I tried it again the next day and it still didn't work. Not acceptable considering how much you pay for it. So now I bought a Sedu flat iron and expect it to arrive shortly - it actually has much better reviews and many people who were disappointed in the CHI are very happy with the Sedu.

Reviewer: Samantha from Texas  Sun May 27 2007

I have had my 2" CHI since my junior year in high school and I am now a junior in high school. I LOVE IT and I use it all the time. It never damages my hair and it makes it gorgeous and shiny. I dropped mine today from the top of the stairs, and it broke so now I'm ordering a new one. But I would highly recommend it. I LOVE IT!

Product Rating: 5 I love my CHI
Reviewer: Shannon Burns from Bound Brook, NJ  Fri May 25 2007

I have VERY CURLY hair no other flat iron worked as well as the CHI I tryed hot tool and the results where OK but nothing like the CHI

Product Rating: 5 the best flat iron you can buy
Reviewer: Denise from Jim Thorpe, PA USA  Tue Apr 24 2007

This is my 2nd CHI iron and I love it. It does not damage your hair and actually makes you hair appear healthier and shiny. I recently traveled to Thailand and left one with my friends because they loved it so much. A great product and a great price. It's worth every penny you spend on it!

Product Rating: 5 CHI Ceramic 2" Flat Iron
Reviewer: Margaret from Florida  Tue Apr 24 2007

Within 2 weeks of purchasing this flat iron it died. The manufacturer would not replace it because I did not buy it an authorized salon. I called Folica and they did replace it, however they charged me $9.95 to do so.
As far as the product is concerned, it works really well!!!

Product Rating: 5 Best Straightening Iron
Reviewer: Leslie from Chicago, IL  Tue Apr 24 2007

This is by far the best straightening iron. I have been using it for two years. Unfortunately my first iron broke and I ordered the Chi Turbo from Folica.com this time around. My hair is very thick and very frizzy, this iron really does the trick. I would recommend it to anyone, and I do.
