CHI Ceramic Flat Iron, Original Model

Tags: original model, ...

I have had my original chi flat iron for 3yrs, but because of taking good care of it, it still works amazingly. Sometimes I travel with it, and my daughter would like to use it to straighten her hair for the change occasionally, but of course she loves her wavy hairstyle. No like other users’ troubles, my flat iron hasn’t frizzed my hair and no any electrical shortage in the past 3yrs, it’s really great, maybe I just got the good luck to get a real product, aha~~ well, the other important thing is that the straightened hair stays long through the day, that’s really amazing, no need to worry about getting curly again. I love it, and it’s been a good friend in my life, and... I’m pleased to recommend this chi flat iron to anyone who wants to get beautiful straight hair.

Please see all of the reviews before buying one of these pieces of crap. They short out regularly, you have to pay to have the mfr. honor the warranty, and you can never get a customer service rep on the phone. Stay away from CHI and instead order from a reputable company that backs their products.

Before I got this Chi, I had used 2 cheap flat irons such as Amika and the last Conair flat iron. The first one, Amika flat iron broke after 5 month, seemed shortcircuit. I cant deny that Conair flat iron were outstanding to create super straight hair, but the result couldn’t last all day, that’s a letdown. My daughter usually uses that Conair after I got this new Chi for myself. Oh, I’m not as dorky as some users saying this Chi has changed my life, but I have to clarify that it isssss amazing. The straightened hair it creates can last on rainy day. I remember the rainy day on my cousin’s wedding, I was busy as a receiver from day to night, but my straighted hair lasted, it’s kinda unbelievable, but it happened. I love the straight hair, but it doesn’t mean I hate curls, don’t make me wrong, I love the curly hair which created by my Babyliss curling iron, I can change my hair style in no time, but as I reiterate I love the lasting result. They perfectly meet my requirement, I complete satisfied.

The Chi's work well but after a year they stop working. I have owned 3 now, they turn on and after they heat up they stop working.

I had really bad flat iron before I purchased this CHI. I have got wavy hair which was hard to be straightened (with my old flat iron & used to take me 25 minutes or more to finish straightening), I had been tired of straightening with it, and I gave it to my younger sister. But the new CHI flat iron does much better job than my old one. It heats up in seconds and always finishes the job in 10 minutes. Not only is the hair shiny, but also lasts all day long, I absolutely love it.

I had been using a $20 flat iron over the past 6 months, and I was coveting all along, and last week I finally decided to shell out the money for a CHI flat iron after my old cheapie flat iron stopped heating any more. I do think this CHI flat iron is the best flat iron ever made. My hair is hard to manage, and I used to blow dry my hair and then immediately flatten it in case of having nasty hair. But now I don’t have to blow dry the hair immediately, I can flatten it after it’s air dried, and the result is shiny & super straight, and still perfect. This is the best one I’ve ever used, and I’ll highly recommend it.

Once I had tried a cheapie hair flat iron to straighten my natural curly hair, but I bit the bullet after that, my hair was burnt so bad. I finally decided to get this popular CHI flat iron which was also kinda pricy as a hair tool. But it's absolutely worth my money and I love it! My hair is about shoulder length, I blow it dry first every time before straightening, so it makes the hair easy to be straightened in about 10 minutes! Its fast finish doesn't affect the nice result, the straightened hair is very shiny and smooth, and looks really attractive. It's so good to have the straight hair I'm dreaming about. This is an awesome hair flat iron.

OK girls...first of all...i have owned 3 diffrent chi's..with the "original" being the best..i payed about $120 for mine about 2 years ago...i personaly think that the chi is deinatly one of the best iron's out there..or GHD is probibly a little bit better but then you are going to be paying over $200...i hear girls complaining about paying about $70-$80 on a flat iron and i have to laugh at you all...i think that is a great price on somthing that is as wonderfull as the chi...if you wanna go and pay $20 for a crappy little flat iron your gonna get crappy $20 looking hair...chi beats the rest..put your money up for it..you wont regret it..and the people who are having problems with it just dont know how to flat iron hair properly...practice makes perfect...keep trying and you will get good results in the end...if sombody gave it a bad result for performence talking about oh my hair fell out or it didnt work write then its not the iron with the problem its you and your hair lol....i get complements on my hair almost every day...the easyest way to do it is...

1) part your hair in whatever way you wear the part of your hair then part it all the way to the nape of your neck and put one half in a pony tail while leaving the other half loose so you can work with it.

2)take a section from the underneath and then put the rest of the hair in a clip or you can tie it up so it makes it alot easyer to work with the hair underneath.

3)brush the section of hair with a comb and put the flat iron as close as you can get it to the root and pull downwards not slow but not fast and repeat about 3 times...then comb it then go over it with the flat iron about 2 more times untill it creates your desired straightness(some hair might require more staightening or less depending on your hair type)

4)then take the top part of hair that you had clipped up and take another section out and repeat what you did again untill you work your way to the top ( i usualy get this done in 3 or 4 sections depending on my mood lol)

5) then repeat what you did on the other side of your hair and that should create even straightness through the whole head of hair...i have really really long hair and it usually takes me about 8-10 minutes to straighten it...if your starting out it will take you longer untill you get used to it and you can just go with the flow..anyway i really hope this helps sombody...good luck xoxox

They brake so easily the cord always goes on them Im on my 5th chi and they continue to break the same ways. My lase one i only had for 3 months in it broke. This is my last Chi I will ever buy. They are garbage and are to expensive to be breaking all the time.

Great flat iron, one of the best flat irons that i have ever used. It gives the hair a nice healthy sheen, and it also doesn't cause any breakage. I am african american with thick coarse textured hair, and this iron straighens my hair perfectly.

My CHI flat iron is the only one I trust to use on my hair. Different form the previous two cheap irons, my CHI does no damage to my hair but gives very sheeny result which makes the hair look healthy. Trust me, my friend, DO NOT buy cheap flat irons, or you'll pay the price! This CHI flat iron is a good product which I wanna sincerely recommend, it will get hair problems solved.

I have used it for 2 weeks, it works so great. I was about to buy a Solia Pink hair straightener which was recommended by my friend, but finally I chose this CHI original model, coz I saw so many friends use this model and I also envy their sheeny straight hair. I'm very sure I have picked the right tool for my hair, this CHI original model is exactly the good product that should be recommended.

That's a good news for me that my original CHI has worked for over 2 years, and it does make me pleased cuz it has never done harm to my hair. It obviously differs from my old flat iron which had badly seared my hair with very bad smell, and I had thrown that metallic iron away without hesitation. Listen, do not buy metallic irons, they hurt!! This CHI is a good one to purchase, and the Pink Solia is also very good, it's my friend Kathy's favorite, but I still love my ORIGINAL CHI FLAT IRON!

I love straight hair of course, and I have paid 80 bucks on this CHI ORIGINAL MODEL, but I just don't know how to straighten my hair to get the shiny finish that others have. I thought it was simple and I am asking for help now...
share your experience with me, please!

CHI Original flat iron, it impressed me with it's nice finish on my hair, and all I wanna say about it is just one word, terrific! It did convince me that my hair would not be damaged by the hot iron, but created beautiful smooth straight hair to me instead when the first time I used it to straightened my curly hair in my life. I promise I had never thought that straight hair could look so sexy, but it was changed radically when I found myself really own that sexy straight hair. I do feel happy that I have such a terrific flat iron along with me.

People are talking so hot about CHI Original flat iron, and I don't know how great job it can do, coz I have no experience on straightening hair. I just wanna have a try and wanna get a new look on hairstyle, I believe it will do something for me ^-^

I dont want to get permanent straight hair, so my friend had advised me to buy a flat iron and get straight hair at home, so I took her advice. This CHI flat iron means so much to a black female with very curly hair, I do love to straighten my hair twice a week, additionally and importantly I can do straightening whenever I want to. Every time the super straight hair it creates for me perfectly meets my expectation, I love this CHI flat iron beyond all doubt!

My Original CHI flat iron has worked miracle on my hair.
I remembered that my hair is very frizzy and unmanageable, so I burst an idea of straightening my hair in order to make it fine.
Yes, the first thing I had to learn was straightening, coz I didn’t want to get a permanent straight hair in hair salon, I just wanted to get changes between straight and curling. This flat iron is very easy to use, I can get very beautiful straight hair easily with it. I do like it, and thanks for its help.

My CHI had worked for more than 15 months, but it just stopped working last Friday. I'm gonna buy a new one, but this time I will choose a a little cheaper one, and hope it to work longer for me.

This flat iron perfectly meets my need, I do not want to have my hair straightened every day, but I do love the change between straight and curling hair sometimes, so I don't have to go to salon, but do it myself at home instead at anytime i want to. and it had not let me down, it's able to create a very straight perfect hair for me instantly, really very effective!
