DONT BUY Review by Briana

Overall

I used to use the cheap flat irons on my hair that i would from a local drug store, so i wanted to try out a "High Quality" flat iron so i purchased this flat iron and I hate it, it gives me split ends, makes my fly away super noticable and it does not completely straighten my hair at the tips its still a bit curved. DONT BUY THIS IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR HAIR! (Posted on 6/17/14)

You'd Never Know I Had Cury Hair! Review by Kristina Boston, MA

Overall

This iron straightens my hair! I have coarse, curly, bushy hair that only straightened with a large round brush and blowdryer. With this CHI flat iron I just wash, air dry then straigten. It doesnt pull off or break my hair and with just one stroke I have shiny, stick straight hair. It stays soft and shiny til I wash it. Ive tried everything else I even chemically straightened my hair but with this staightening iron I found that I didnt really need all of that to have shiny, straight hair. I love it!

Lasting Power Review by Wyn

Overall

I bought this about five years ago and it's still going strong. I straighten my hair once a week and it stays. A few times, I have forgotten to unplug it, came back a day later and the flat iron was still as hot as when I left it. It must be a safe one, because it didn't burn out or anything.
With my thick-coarse hair, I cannot do without it. It straightens beautifully in seconds. I will definitely buy another, since any product can only last so long when used as much as I've used this one. My hair iis healthy and straight thanks to this product and spray preps. (Posted on 3/22/12)

Chi Flat Iron Review by Lily Moy

Overall

Like many of the reviews said about the CHI it worked great in the beginning. Mine was good for about a year. And then the light started to flicker and not stay on all the time and then it would take longer to straighten. Now after having it for the second year the light doesnt come on at all and nothing happens. Otherwise it straightens well. Does anyone have an opinion on the Sedu iron? I am thinking of ordering that one (Posted on 10/27/11)

LOVE IT! Review by Sara

Overall

ive had my chi since 1 or 2 christmases ago and it recently stopped working out of nowhere. but in the time that it was working it was pretty good. it didnt give me to many split ends but when it did it was easily fixed with a deep conditioning treatment and some breakage to stregth shampoo/conditioner in one use. it took me about a half hour to an hour to straighten my hair but for the most part it did its job for a while and it worked!

The Chi GF 1000 hot iron we have for 2 years worked well until the cord shorted out and we could not find a replacement cord.. (Posted on 10/5/11)

Definitely Worth The Money! Take Care Of It And It Will Take Care Of You. Review by Maura D. California

Overall

My sister is a hair stylist and recommended I get a CHI. I've had it for almost 3 years now and it is just as wonderful today as it was the day I bought it. I absolutely love it! The only time my hair hasn't come out perfectly silky and flat is if I've gone too long without a haircut. That's my own fault, not the fault of the flat iron. I think a lot of people assume that if suddenly their hair isn't coming out as straight and silky as it used to that it's because the flat iron isn't working, when really the problem is that their hair needs a trim. For those of you who aren't happy with your flat iron (CHI or any other high quality brand), before you give up on it and start searching for a new one you might want to keep a few things in mind. First off, clean it every now and then. Make sure you store it properly so as not to damage the cord (or any other part of it for that matter). Make sure you're putting a high quality thermal protector in your hair before applying the heat of the iron, use a good conditioner and use it correctly.... and....get your hair trimmed regularly. Remember: Even the best styling tools in the world won't work properly if your hair isn't healthy! (Posted on 10/5/11)

Cheap And Poorly Built Review by Katherine S.

Overall

This flat iron is absolutely awful. It is not built well at all and it doesn't do a good job of straightening. I bought this to replace my 1-inch sedu, which I loved and which worked great. This thing is NOT worth the money. (Posted on 10/4/11)
