This straightener burns, makes split ends and even electricutes you if you don't be careful it said to use with towel dry hair and then it'd be ok but i used it with like almost dry hair and i recieved a little shock. I tried to make a review before but it wouldn't go on so if this goes on before the other you'll know that if they see something that reveals their secret they'll take it off so it makes their product better.

So I went to a sedu revolution instead!

Product Rating: 5 I Love it!!!
Reviewer: abc   Mon Apr 20 2009

I love it sooo much!!! Its like heaven....I have very thick hair. I was always afraid of damaging my hair, but if you use it in correct way it will not damage your hair in fact it would make it more shinny and silky. SOME PEOPLE SAYS IT BURNS YOUR HAIR.....ITS NOT TRUE.....its just a science...if you heat water it would convert into steam. Therefore if you use it in wet hair it would convert that water into steam and steam will come out in that holes....I have never got split ends.....I am using this product almost everyday since 2years....what more do you expect!!!! ITS THE BEST STRAIGHTER I EVER HAD!!!

Product Rating: 5 Best Straightener Ever.
Reviewer: Dana from Michigan  Mon Apr 06 2009

Ive had this flat iron for about a year now and i absolutely love it. It works great and is well worth what i paid for it. You can find it cheaper on other websites but you don't get the warranty...which is always a good thing to have. This flat iron costs over $200 at trade secret so its at a fairly good price on here. I would recommend this straightener to anyone. It perfectly straightens hair with out pulling on it. Theres no frizz and it works super fast...heats up fast and gets hair straight fast. The digital settings are also a great feature.

Reviewer: Cassie from Denver  Fri Mar 27 2009

I love this flat iron. I have thick hair and no time in the morning to fix it. I go from wet to dry in minutes(ten or so)and had people asking what I did different to my hair after I started using it. It is smooth and silky.

I wonder if the people whose hair was fried used anything like the silk infusion. You need to use the silk infusion, or something similar, to protect your hair from such intense heat. The silk infusion has made my hair so soft.

Product Rating: 5 Forget about spend more money on blowers ... !!

Product Rating: 5 The best!
Reviewer: Gabriela M   Wed Jan 14 2009

I purchased this one after I had my hair done at a salon. I have curly hair, and all my life I've strugeled to have it straight. It is amazing the rezult, just folow the instructions and the products you have to use for best results. I remember I used to buy tons of shampoos and conditioners one more expensive than the other - and got almost nothing; NOW sometimes I do not use conditioner, only a very nice dryer (expensive one) and this CHI. THANK YOU, dear CHI.
The negative reviews are from people that do not know how to use it!

Product Rating: 4 chi tends to break within months!
Reviewer: S   Thu Jan 08 2009

It's the bestest product ever, but yah just watch out if your someone who uses it on its highest heat and everyday it may tap out within the same year you bought it. It's something they need to work on.

Product Rating: 2 losing hair ??
Reviewer: yours truly   Thu Dec 25 2008

don't recommend!! it makes you lose hair, kills your hair and causes lots of split ends. although a good iron. but may leave you with damaged hair!

I love it A lot the best i have

Product Rating: 4 pretty good =)
Reviewer: mariela from McAllen, TX  Sat Dec 06 2008

well, i havent purchased it yet BUT today when i went for a hair cut with my new hairdresser she straightened my hair with this straightner and i was truly truly amazed. she only had to go through my hair ONCE. my hair is mildly frizzy but i had never ever seen my hair this straight before. ive read other reviews about the problems with the cord and i think it all depends on how you handle it. ive had that problem with my blow dryer and the straightner i'm currently using and neither are chi products. i'll make sure i'm very careful with this on because i do not want it to screw up on me! lol i'm really looking foward to my purchase!

Reviewer: Ali from Orlando, FL  Fri Nov 21 2008

My stylist just used this on me yesterday - I have very processed, thick, coarse, curly hair. She had my hair dry and silky smooth in less than 20 mins. It was amazing! I have been a CHI user for over 6 years, and this iron blew my mind. I think it will be my Christmas present to myself this year :)

Product Rating: 5 Is there any better out there?
Reviewer: Wende from OKC  Wed Sep 24 2008

I had my hair done at the salon twice now with this iron. I have very thick curly hair. The iron left my hair silky smooth and very straight, I am going to get myself one now!

Product Rating: 5 Awesome
Reviewer: Paula from Florida  Mon Sep 22 2008

Bought this for my daughter, she has thick, course, curly hair. Normally we spend well over an hour blow drying then flat ironing. We got the chi wet to dry and love it!!! Her hair has never been this straight!!!! Plus it eliminates 1 whole step--we got from wet to straight. It is amazing!! Definitely recommend this product.

Product Rating: 1 worst straightener ever invented.
Reviewer: mckenzie evans from columbus,ga  Fri Sep 05 2008

The Chi is the worst straightener everrr!!
it does not straighten my hair at all.
i DO NOT recommend this to anyone!!!!!

Product Rating: 1 150 bucks down the drain!
Reviewer: S Espinoza   Wed Aug 06 2008

I shelled out big bucks for this since I have four girls. The product worked beautifully; I felt at the time that it was money well spent. Here I am one year later and the product has a short in it. We kept the Chi on a shelf, plugged in and off when not in use--so we weren't coiling the cord everyday, etc. No one told me to hold on to the box. Apparently, if you keep the box, you can send the product back with 15 dollars and they'll replace it. Several friends my daughters have talked to have had the same experience, except some were told to keep the box.

My next purchase will be a Sedu.

Product Rating: 5 AMAZING!!!
Reviewer: Gina D.   Mon Jul 21 2008

I have chemically relaxed hair that is very damaged, and if this flat iron made my hair look healthy and shiny it can work on anybody's hair. I have tried Sedu, FHI, Solia you name it. Nothing straightened my hair that quickly, just watch the heat settings, gets very hot fast. It's very hot and humid today, and to my suprise no frizz. This is the first review I've ever written, hope it helps someone else!

Product Rating: 5 awesome
Reviewer: Kelsey   Tue Jul 08 2008

Product Rating: 3 Broke after 5 months
Reviewer: Alyssa from Lockhart,Tx  Wed Jul 02 2008

I got this straightner Christmas 07. It was a major gift because of the cost ($250). The first time I used it it was great! I loved it! But after 3 months of regular use (2-3 times a week) it started to take longer to heat up and then would turn off while I was in the middle of using it. Finally in May it just stopped working. I had used it earlier that day and it worked okay but when I went to turn it back on for some touch ups it wouldn't work.I didn't understand why because I had only dropped it a couple times from my sink to the floor, which isn't very high. Apparently the wiring in the cord was crap. I was very upset to say the least. I going to try a SEDU. Anyone think the SEDU is better?

Product Rating: 5 The best Results!
Reviewer: Former kinky now shiny and smooth   Sat Jun 21 2008

I had bought a T3 mini recently and returned it because I wanted an automatic shut-off. I would have never known that there was something better out there until the chi wet to dry. Curling was easy! and no more kinks and frizziness compared to the T3 mini. This was very safe too! Hopefully this iron will last! You also need to use this iron on almost dry hair not dripping hair. I would reccomend this iron 100%! Advice to those who smell burning>>>HELLLLO! you need to turn the heat down! that's why it's adjustable DUH! BUY IT! so far I am happy.

Product Rating: 2 left hair with a burnt smell
Reviewer: rose from new jersey  Thu May 01 2008

my hairdresser tried this on me yesterday and i give it a thumbs down. it left my hair an unpleasant smell- like a burnt smell. i had purchased the sedu 1 1/2" 3 days ago and i definitely recommend this over Chi. It did an amazing job for a lesser price than Chi and no burnt smell at all.
