    Broke Too Soon
    I loved this product when i got it and the half year i had it, until it stopped working, i have the big 2 inch one that is like 200$ and i dont have enough to buy another. I wish somethng so expencive would have a better life expenctency. This product was good untill the cord broke and started sparking. Not very safe!

    Great While It Works But Suddenly Dies One Day
    i had the chi 2" flat iron for exactly a year and it worked great for about 11 and a half months of that year. i have a lot of very curly hair and i can do my hair extremely well in about an hour with this. people couldnt even tell my hair was naturally curly, this flat iron really got the job done. then about two weeks ago, it started shutting off when i was using it. yesterday, it just died in the middle of me straightening my hair. im not sure why. i want another of the same brand because it worked great but im wondering if its worth it because it only lasts for a year. aside from it dying, i would rate it 5 stars because it straightens my hair really well and makes it silky.

    Big Chi 2" Turbo
    I live in very humid weather, and the chi turbo is awesome. My hair will stay straight until the next washing (even on rainy days). The 2" is great for long hair, and it does a great job flipping the ends, giving my hair the full body look. I also love that you can adjust the temperature setting. I have very course, curly, frizzy hair at the crown of my head, but my hair around my face is just a little wavy. I dont have that fried bangs look. It works good enough that I dont have to use the highest temp even on the frizziest section of hair. I use my straightener on a daily basis. I used to buy those cheaper $30 irons, what used to take me an hour and a half w/ only ok results, now only takes 30-40 minutes w/ the CHI. I am on my second chi turbo, and like all chi products, 1 year into it and the wire is shorting. Another problem i have with the turbo is the red material on the outside of the plates. My hair products get all cake up and it is very difficult to wipe off. I have to clean it every time i use it. It works great for about a year. This straightener is perfect if you can afford to replace it every 12 months.

    Best Straightener Ever !
    I bought a Chi over a year ago and I use it everyday. Literally, everyday. I have tried alot of straighteners but Chi is my favorite! It leaves my hair bone straight, shiney and silky. I recommended the Chi to my best friend and she loves it. She was scared to use a straightener because of her hair, but she absolutely loves it. I definately recommend getting a CHI !

    Great But Didn't Last
    Great product but it only lasted 15 mos....3 mos out of warranty. Too much money for a product that doesnt last longer than that.

    Chi Is Good Solia Is Better
    The first time a CHI was used on my hair (I have what is called Bi-Racial hair) was on a trip to New Mexico and my sisters hair stylist used it. OMG my hair was beautiful! I had to have one not only do I have long thick curly.kinky,wavy hair but so does my daughter! I bought it worked great lasted 14 mnths........ I did some research and bought a Solia a little cheaper was worried that wouldnt work as well but..... ok heres the deal my first solia lasted 4.5 years only died when my neighbors daughter jumped on it and broke the case! I now have 2 Solias a 1 inch for curls and a 1.5 for straight styles.My daughter could not do her own hair before just too long and too thick! Had to either spend hours myself or spend an average of 80.00 weekly! She couldnt even do her own hair with the CHI! She is 17 now and since freshman year when I allowed her to use my first Solia she does her own hair and every time her friends think she has gone to the salon! If she curls it the curls last days if she strightens it it lasts until she washes her hair! Even if it rains her hair will stay straight! She used to beg to have it chemically strightned havent had that conversation in years! I have much experience with the CHI personal use and several professionals have used it on my hair. My personal stylist bought a Solia a few months ago when her CHI went out now most of the stylists in her shop have purchased one as well! The CHI is good ladies but trust me the Solia is SO MUCH BETTER!

    Durability Not So Great
    I love my chi straightener, but a couple days ago the light went out and it wouldnt heat up at all. Ive had it for less than a year, and dont use it every day. Really disappointed.

    Same Problems As Some
    i love the straightner i believe it does work awesome while it lasts which mine did for over 2 1/2 years for as much as i use it it was well worth the price and with the price of them today id recommend buying another like i did because all the other brands just arent good if you ask me especially if you have thick curly hair as myself but i am having the same problem with my cord in that if i dont hold it in the right spot it just doesnt stay on.. hopefully number two works as long as the first!

    Best I Have Ever Tried!
    I have very long (past my navel) frizzy, very curly red hair. Previously I had used Vidal Sassoon and other fine straighteners- with those products it took me over an hour to straighten my hair. I had heard so many good things about Chi products, so I took a risk on spending more money on a better product. I was absolutely amazed at the results. I can now straighten my hair from its naturally curly state in 30 minutes (did you catch how long my hair is?), its smoother, shinier, and weightless. Its been several months now since Ive gotten this product from Folica and it still works like a dream. Chances are that if you received a product that quit after a month or so, it had a manufacturing defect which does occasionally happen. Bottom line, Chi Rocks!

    Amazing
    After many years of straightening with cheap mediocre flat irons, I am so thrilled to own a Chi 2"! Not only does it straighten fast, but my hair has never felt so silkly and soft! Plus it doesnt cause the heat damage and split ends that other cheaper brands do. It is worth the price!
