Chi Iron

Has anybody else used this straightner? I just got it and I'm not that impressed with it...I coulda got another straightner for a lower price that does the same exact thing..can ya'll recommend a good straightner for a cheap price because I'm tired of wearing my hair curly but I can't get a perm...

Honestly, salon quality is the way to go in my experience. I have a friend who has the craziest, curliest hair you will ever see. She uses Paul Brown Hawaii and her hair is always nice and straight. And use a 1 inch plate, works waaay better lol. My mom is a hairdresser

thats weird, i absolutely love my chi! I've had it for like 4 years now or so, and I've never had a problem with it. It's the straightner that they use in all the salons in my area

i like the paul mitchell straightners better.

That's odd. My Chi was like the best thing ever.I loved it. I recommend it to everyone..

My brothers gf used to live with us and she had one and I LOVED it! Lol but I dont know Ive only had a couple other ones. I have one now I got from like walgreens for 40 bucks so nothing special but it works good

I had a hairart before and it was great....I gave it to my sister,it has a 1.5 inch plate and it works great for her curly hair.
I have a chi and i love it.

I have a Chi straightener too and it works great for me  
It's the Chi Turbo. I don't get as many split ends as I did with my cheap flat irons.I bought it about three years ago and it still works great!! My best friend bought a different brand one ata stand at themall. She paid $60 less than I did but hers only lasted a year and she totally fried her hair while she had it!!

Really? The Chi was the only thing that worked for my hair. Have you tried the chi serum or whatever?

Yup...do you think it's because I have mixed hair? It's not very good mixed hair [[lol]] but mixed hair nonetheless

I have mixed hair too & the Chi has been the only straightener that really worked for me. What are you putting in it when you straighten it?

When you use your iron, do you use any products with it (straightening cream etc)?

I used grease with it and the products that came with it..my hair is just doesn't like to be tamed..lol..that's why i wear it curly because that's basically all it wants to do

This may sound stupid but do you blow it dry first & try to get it straightened as much as you can?

they have different plate widths but i use a 1". it gets closer to your roots. $108 w/free shipping is a really good deal for such a great straightner. ive had both chi and sedu and this one is a thousand times better.
