    Been Through Two And Neither Worked, Will Never Buy Antoher Chi
    I have kind of thin wavy hair hair and I was given one of these for Christmas and within the year warrenty it just stoppped turning on, pushed the reset button and tried different outlets, everything, so I exchanged it and got another one. The second one never got as hot as it was suppose to (doesnt even steam when it is all the way up), broke my ends (even with heat protectants), makes my hair dull and frizzy, the felt doesnt stay on and has burned me several times, and half the time by hair waves right back out, even with products. I thought that since the CHI was supposed to be one of the best it was just something I would have to live with or drop a lot of money for a better one.I tried my friends babybliss the other day and it worked amazingly, my hair has never looked that good by using a CHI. So I got on folica and started looking for a new flat iron ended up with a Sedu and cant wait to get it and actually have straight hair.I dont recommend these, dont waste the money or i recommend constantly returning it before the warranty runs out to ensure it will keep working. CHI would have to make some serious improvements to make me want to even thing about buying another one of their products

    The Best Money Spent
    I bought my chi about 4 years ago and it is STILL working like it did four years ago. With hair halfway down my back, and about thick as a horses tail made my hair sooooooooo soft and shiny and extremly striaght. I have never gotten so much use out of one thing for this long of a time. :]

    Great For 1.5 Yrs
    I bought my Chi Turbo from Folica Dec 07(best price!). I was amazed at how well it worked with getting my curly/wavy/heavy/course hair so straight and smooth, rather quickly I must add.But one day in April 08 I started to use it before work and BAM! It quit working. I had to speed down to another store and buy another one before work ! I still have it and think there is a short in the cord.I turned it on the next day to test it,it came on when I fooled around w/ the cord.Its too expensive to break after 1.5 years. But it is by far the BEST iron I have ever had.

    Chi Turbo 1"
    Okay first of all, I would have to say that by reading others reviews and due to my own experiences, this flat irons effectivness may just depend on your hair type. I have never had any problems with my Chi. I actually had the red limited edition one that I gave to my sister and she has had it for over 2 years. I have had this one for over a year and a half. I also know 2 other people in my family who have had theirs for over two years. Either other people received a faulty one or they just dont take care of it as they should. The thing about it is, is that when you go to a salon and they use a Chi flat iron on your hair, they will also probably use a good quality shampoo/conditioner and also other hair products like Biosilk, Redken Antisnap, a heat protector, etc. It doesnt matter what flat iron you use, you always get better results when you combine it with some really great hair products. I have fine, naturally curly hair and it has always worked great on my hair. I use Biosilk, Redken Antisnap, and Redken Align 12. The CHI has still always worked better for me than other flat irons that would break or "fry" my hair. Just make sure that you dont wrap the cord around the iron as it tells you in the instructions. Just take care of it. (Be gentle with it) :) And you will mostly likely have no problems with it. Just keep in mind that if you heatstyle your hair almost everyday with the best or worst quality tools, you will definitely need some really good hair products to keep your hair from drying out. Now, my face expression in my photo may seem a little weird..lol, but I just wanted you to see my hair and what the Chi does for me.

    Stopped Working
    Loved it, worked great until it broke only three months after I got it. I think a product that cost over $100 should defenitely last longer than 3 months, and thats taking good care of it.

    Best Straightener For Four Years!
    I bought my Chi Turbo in 2004 and it worked wonders on my hair and on everyone else who go to use it. Amazing! The reason I enjoyed it so much is because I have brunette and blonde hair, and I was able to change the heat settings to be less hot on my blonde parts. Anyway, this was a wonderful product! Went through a tough four years.

    Love My Chi!!!
    I started the hair straightening revolution among my friends. I have really thick, curly hair and I wanted a change without having to go to the salon to get it done. I had a superstar hair straightener that I purchased AGES ago and it just recently broke. My friend fell in love with hair straighteners and asked for one for her birthday. her mother bought her a chi (she didnt know the kind I had. the other day while getting ready for a party for someone special I asked to borrow her straightener and it has been love ever since for me and my chi :) It makes my hair perfectly staight without friz. love it. worth every dime. Trust me i am really picky when it comes to things I claim to love. Spoil yourself...get a chi!!!!

    Worth The Money!!!
    I just used my new turbo chi for the first time! My hair looks great. With my old straightener it would take FOREVER to straighten my wavy hair and I would get so frustrated.. but with my chi, it only took 5 mins! I love this thing! Dont listen to the people who say its horrible!

    Ok But Not Great
    I tried this flat iron solia and own a sedu. Years ago when ceramic flat irons came onto the scene it was all about CHI CHI CHI. I was going to buy one until I came to this website and read reviews about its unrealiability. I used my co-workers chi and it was nice BUT it pulled on the hair and it dindt glide that smoothly. So I somehow found this website and bought a sedu which to me has comprable results but is a little smoother and softer, doesnt pull, and best of all there were no bad reviews about it dying out months into ownership. Now I love my Sedu but expensive isnt always better. If I was going to reccomend a flat iron to someone I would say Solia I feel that its basically a less expensive version of sedu. I plan to get a solia because I need a 1inch to create flips and that is hard to do with a 1.5 inch flat iron. Whatever you choose just take your time to research. Maybe the $30 one at wal-mart gets the job done for you or maybe the $100 one works better for your hair. But I would highly reccomend folica good customer services, good promotions, and nice perks like free shipping over $70

    Chi Made My Hair Dry!
    Im sorry, but I really wanted to like the CHI Turbo flat iron. Ive heard so many good reviews that I thought I would give it a try in December 07. I have been using it for a few months now. My hair is always dry after all that time spent flat ironing. Its so dry that even the products (serums, oils) that I put in afterwards dont seem to work. I even started to question the heat protection products that I was using. I basically used almost every product that you can think of like CHI serum, Redken and a few other products, and my hair would still be dry afterwards. I want sleek and shine hair, and CHI just doesnt give that to me. After a little evaluation and some research I found that there were some people with my hair type(4a/b hair and African American) who feel the same way and didnt get the same results. I gave up on this iron, and it is now sitting on my shelf. I recently ordered a Solia flat iron. I hope this flat iron works well based on the reviews. If it doesnt work out well then I will try the Sedu. I just dont want to put my hair through the CHI like experience again.
