I LOOOOOVE it!! I have it for what like 6 years now and still going strong! My hair stay put for days after use. Just love it!!

I bought my Chi on Amazon for around $70, and I have had it for.... about 2 years now. It has been one of the best investments I've made. I have tried a lot of other straighteners which damaged my hair and didn't straighten it well. The Chi gets very, very hot but somehow I don't have any split ends. I had BILLIONS of split ends when I was using cheaper straighteners. The Chi will get my hair straight in less than half the time and leave my hair undamaged. I don't understand how one company designs their product differently from another so that it works so much better (it seems like such a simple concept - hot ceramic plates).

This is a fabulous product. It heats up amazingly fast, has a cord that completely swivels around, and -most importantly- gives you straight and sleek hair. I have thick and slightly wavy hair so I have to straighten it sections at a time and it works much better than the less expensive flat iron I had purchased several years earlier. Be sure to use a heat protectant.

This product is worth the price!

The thing was wonderful at first. It made my INCREDIBLY curly [slightly kinky, VERY frizzy] hair stick straight, sleek and shiny and the best part is, it stays straight for days after use. The cord is all swivelly and pretty awesome, it heats up very quickly and it has done things for my hair that no other straightener could do.

However, due to the fact that there is no temperature setting, I'm not sure exactly how hot this thing gets, but it has literally fried the ends of my once healthy hair.

I guess if you don't use it very often, it's a great buy. But for people who really need to straighten their hair before they face the public, I'd recommend something that has a temperature setting because really, that's my only gripe since it gets so hot.

at first i loved this product until it dropped on the floor and just stopped working? I've had many other flat irons before and it never broke like that before. I didn't even have the iron for a year yet. I will not repurchase again.

I got my Chi Straightner from a free cycle site. The girl didn't want hers anymore because she got a pink one. And I absolutly love it! I got a very good deal with this. I feel kinda bad about not having the exact same experience as everyone else with buying one. But my review is all about the results. My hair is a little above my shoulders and super curly. You can do so many things with this straightnwe. From straightning, curling, flipping, to smoothing. It really makes your hair feel wonderful.
I gave it a 4 on overall rating because i have not tried a whole lot of different straightners, maybe 3 or 4 before this Chi.
I gave it a 4 on price becuase I have seen many straightners that are much more expensive than the Chi.
I know the black one i have is about $60-70 now. And if mine were to break, I would certainly go buy one. : )

Best straightener ever and yes, you do need to get it. It will live up to all the hype.

This is the best straightener I have ever used or owned, while it worked. I loved this product when i got it, until it stopped working, the swivel cord keeps shorting out. Too bad the manufacturer will only warranty units purchased at retail stores, got mine from folica and apparently I'm SOL.

I got one that "fell off the back of a truck" 2 years ago for $60 (i love you, new york city) and it's still going strong...love it...snags my ends once in a while, but what can you do...but i recently had a discussion about it with two hairstylists and they say it's overrated...they said any ceramic iron that gets as hot as the CHI does will do just fine and there's no reason to pay so much money for it, so for that reason i'd say i wouldn't buy it again...glad i got my discount ;)

I love, love, loveeee the Chi flat iron. Its actually the best flat iron that I've used. I only have to iron my hair once and its straight. And it only takes a few seconds for it to heat up, which is very ideal when I'm rushing and I want to straighten my hair real quick. The price is expensive but I was luckily able to purchase it at a very, veryyy low price. Let's just say..its the cashiers mistake for reading bar codes incorrectly. As fortunate as I was, my Chi flat iron has sadly stopped turning on. The button thing to turn it on has locked and it has been switched to off for days and I've only had it for a year or so. Overall, the Chi flat iron makes wonders with my hair as I can either curl or straighten it but has only done so for a year or so. However, for the price that I got for it, I'd say its done a very good job.
