I'm seriously thinking of buying this CHI. It sounds fantastic! But my friend has the black one and after she uses it, her hair smells like burnt toast. Maybe she's overdoing it, but does this happen to you?

I have both the Chi 2" and the 1". Both leave my hair shiny and soft without any burnt smell. If your friend's Chi has different heat settings, I would suggest she turn it to a lower setting. Her hair may be too thin, or fine, for such a high setting. Or she pulls the iron down her hair too slowly. I would also recommend using a great conditioner, as well as a heat protectant prior to straightening your hair. Chi Silk Infusion works very well. There are also less expensive ones at your local shopping centers. | | Reply by Annalie(:

yes it does, alot, even if you use the heat protectants or any products, it STILL burns your hair. |
How long does a chi last?
I'm planning on buying a pink dazzle limited edition chi iron. I want to know how long the chi irons in general last. I've read some reviews that say they last 2-3 years and some last only a year.

I've had mine almost 3 years, and it was working great until we went to Europe and even with the right converter it fried it so now I have to buy another one, I love it, and would trade it for the world. |

I have extremely thin hair, and I have been using this chi for 3 years, and it has not ever burned my hair, or fried it at all. | | Reply by Kari

Yes and no, it depends on how often you use heating tools, and if you use some sort of heat protection spray. If you use a flat iron daily, you are most likely to have some sort of damage at the ends of your hair. Using thermal protection spray can keep your hair relatively healthy. If you can, try to lower daily use to 3 times a week, then your hair won't fry and will stay healthy. | | Reply by Whitney

You cannot leave the chi in one spot on your hair or it will burn any type of hair. Sometimes on stubborn spots you may have to run over it more than once but I use my chi on my daughters hair and she has extremely thin hair and it dosent fry her hair at all. Also make sure your hair is completely dry, alot of people fry their hair by using it with damp hair. |
Heat
How hot does this straightener get to? I have a regular Chi the black one and I need a new one I have had mine for a year and a half, and I am finding it isnt heating up as well as it used to. Does this have the same heat settings as The Original Chi?

all chi's are basically the same but why do you think there are new ones?, They come up with better technology. This one will probably last you longer. It is also less weight. That is basically the main difference. It will smooth and make your hair wonderful. | | Reply by Alicia

I found this online: Fixed 302-356 F for the pink dazzle iron
They also list the original Chi as 385 fixed temp - another site I found lists the original Chi as 410 fixed. The Chi Turbo goes up to 356 F and I am bi-racial with "nappy" hair and it works beautifully for me (although my hair dresser did tell me to get the original next time - she said it gets hotter) So I really want the pink dazzle - I'll have to decide now... |
