A purchased this Chi almost three years ago now and I love it! I use it almost daily and it straightens my naturally curly hair wonderfully!! I have recommended this to several friends who have hard to straighten hair and they love it as well. I like the thinness of my Chi - I can section my hair and straighten hard to reach spots. As a curler it works wonders. I use some hair product and then curl sectioned pieces. The curls stay and give a different look to my natural curls. Love it and I would highly recommend to someone new to hair straighteners. Its it worth the extra penny you spend - and you won't have to worry about it breaking like cheaper brands.

My hair is what I like to call "confused." There are parts that think they are wavy, some want to be curly, and the rest is straight. One thing that all my hairs agree on is to be frizzy. The CHI can turn my ball of frizz into silky, straight, shiny hair in less than 10 minutes. And, I don't have to go over each section 5 times to achieve the desired results. The CHI is also light. It heats up very quickly. The price is high, but it is worth it. My husband stepped on my CHI and broke it (I shouldn't of have had it on the floor, I know) so after 8 years of use, I had to buy a new iron. I went with a different brand and I am sorry that I did.

As a girl with very unruly hair, the Chi Straightener is my saving grace (I just bought my second one). I bought a special edition one that came with a heat-proof travel bag, which is amazing, I can unplug and go without worrying about how hot it is.
The straightener quickly works out all my waves and curls with only one or two swipes and makes my hair super shiny.
Only two cons when compared to other straighteners is that it does not have a heat setting and it does not have an automatic shut off in case you leave it on.

Even though the price is, well, pricey, it is very much worth it. You might be thinking "Well i can get one with just as good quality at walmart, but for only 40$" well that is not true. Chi is one of the only places i would trust for hair straightners. also you dont have to pay for shipping if you live in Canada or America, but any where else it is considered international shipping-sorry. You can get them in multiple colors (as you can see in the pictures) Just google Chi Hair Straightner and there will be more informastion on it and there will be sites where you can buy it. I dont think it is the best idea to buy it off ebay or amazon or one of those sites just because they cant guarentee good quality and there is a reason they are selling it and the reason might just be that it doesnt work. I really reccomend you gurlies going to buy one!

I have extremely thick, long, frizzy, curly hair. I have tried every flat iron from the cheap to the expensive. I have found that the Chi works the best. I have owned mine for over 3 years now and it has not failed me yet. There is only one heat setting (HOT) which is fine for me. It heats up in seconds and is very easy to slide through my thick hair. I only wear my hair straight and this iron has gotten m through the worst weather. I highly recommend it and if and when my Chi iron goes I will replace it with another Chi.

Ok so recently i desided to invest in a new flat iron. my previous one was the basic conair one, which was alright, but it was leaving my hair feeling pretty rough lately, and i only striaghten my hair occasioanly, so it wasn't from excessive use. so i did my reserch and found getting a chi was a safe bet. i absolutly LOVE this striaghtener, leaves your hair feeling so smoooth, and the ceramic plates lock in moisutre. with a 1 inch one u can also curl and style with it. however it dose get very hot, so always be sure to use a good protectent!! As for price, it depends where u go, but they are fairly expensive, so its not worth it if u rarly straighten your hair, but if u are looking to uprade the chi is a good buy!
i believe u can get them with different designes on them as welll, but u will be paying a little extra!!
