3.00 out of 5 stars The quality is not good
Reviewed by Marina, Aug 19th, 2010
Most of my friends used Chi flat iron. I was told it was worth every penny for its great work. Without hesitating, I purchased this chi flat iron. It really leaves my coarse hair shiny and smooth. But it only worked for about eight months then stopped heating.Worth the money? I don't think so.

Reviewed by Gigi from LA, Jul 14th, 2010
This is the flat iron which i exactly wanted. I was always worried about my thick and frizzy hair. It took me much time to take care of it every day.But chi flat iron changed everything.Now I can have a shiny,silky and frizz-free hair look easily though the results can't stay for the whole day. Anyway, this chi flat iron is great.

I have now had 3 CHI flat irons and every single one of them has shorted out on me after 1yr of use. Just called Customer Service to find out that I am 2 weeks out of my warranty and have to pay $35 to replace it. I will never purchase another CHI iron again!!

How time flies, it has been 2 year since i bought my CHI original model flat iron, it's very nice to have it work amazingly for me. I had very frizzy hair before i started to straighten it and do some medical treatment on it(not frequently), but this flat iron did big favor, it made amazing result that looked so silky and perfectly straight, my life had changed from then on. I'm really grateful to my stylist who recommend this chi flat iron to me, that's a good stuff.

5.00 out of 5 stars i love my chi flat iron so much
Reviewed by Janny Lincon from Texas, Jan 31st, 2010
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.

1.00 out of 5 stars These flat irons are pieces of crap
Reviewed by will from murfreesboro, tn, Dec 23rd, 2009

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.

5.00 out of 5 stars It issssss amazing!

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.

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.

4.00 out of 5 stars CHI flat iron, the best flat iron!
Reviewed by Clair from Cleveland, Oct 28th, 2009

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.

5.00 out of 5 stars CHI FLAT IRON IS AWESOME!!!!

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
