i have had this straightener for over two years and its still running perfectly and gets my hair super straight or curly depending on how i feel. i have 3b/c hair type. for all of the ladies saying this burns your hair.. turn the damn setting down (its digital so there is no excuse), use a heat protectant and dont straighten your hair everyday... youre the one causing the damage.. not the straightener.

Good reason to like this, but not as the only tool

After reading the reviews, I was suspicious that this could actually take enough water out of my coarse, wavy, frizzy hair when wet...but it did. Ok, I towelled it and dried it for about 4 min so it was probably 60% dry. Clipped it into sections, per my usual flat ironing routine. This thing actually took the water out of my hair and made it very dry!! For that alone I was thrilled! In situations where I need to do my hair fast, blowdrying to use a normal flat iron take forever - this might do the trick instead and cut a step out for me. Having said that, the styling part of this iron was lacking. Holding it too long in one spot gave it that crimpy effect, and it did nothing for my ends - got a bit of the scarecrow look happening since I couldn't curl it under properly. In the end I left it to see how much moisture actually got sucked out - I'll see that tonight. In the future (ie. tomorrow) I'll use my regular Chi to finish the ends into a nice flipped-under look, as well as serum. Or I might use a round brush. I borrowed this from a friend and I'm on the fence about actually buying it...sure, it shortens my hair-styling time if I'm in an absolute hurry, but not so sure about the scarecrow look and having to still use my regular flat iron. Might save money and do it how I normally do it, and suck it up if I'm late...

this iron works so well..not.

this iron sucks, my hair is now dead, about an inch or so, it electrocuted my daughter, while she was playing with her toys. she was in the hospital overnight due to this, although shes fine now. this iron sucks, it really does. it kills, fries, and eats away at your hair. i would not recommend this to anyone with children, or anyone who has thin hair!

damages hair

I thought I was getting a great product seeing its a chi and all, but when i got it and used it i wasnt pleased at all. It takes for ever to do your air. And then it leaves your hair all frizzy!!! Wow!!

Not quite sure about Wet to Dry
Reviewer: Fera from Toronto   2009-08-24

I have had this straightener for over 2 years now, when I bought it was supposed to be the latest thing. I had a pretty nice/decent Rusk straightener before, but just got this one cause it was new. This straightener has been more than awesome to me.I love the digital reading. It heats up pretty fast and it does an awesome job to my hair, which is pretty thick and wavy/curly. I don't go with the dead straight look as I think it looks too fake, but get a nice little curl at the bottom. I tried this straightener once/twice while it was still kind of damp. It was HORRIBLE. It just didn't work for me. Not sure if I didn't use it properly. It made sounds like it were frying my hair, and it was just not straighteneing it properly, it looked really yucky (can't really explain). It made me come to the conclusion that straighteners are never to be used on damp/wet hair, but only on completely dry hair, and it has always worked for me that way. The only disadvantage to this straightener, when i would try to curl hair, using straightener, so you can give it those nice loose curls, and leave your hair still straight on top, the outside cover would get too hot and I couldn't really curl the hair properly without burning my fingers. But i didn't really spend much time on trying to curl hair. Overall, it is a great straightener, I wish I hadn't bought it for $200, then, cause you get some nice straighteners, in less than $100, like the original CHI and it's 1" as oppose to this 1 1/2". Enjoy it.
