Add to My Contacts Block User Best Answer - Chosen by Voters I personally believe that the other CHI models are a complete waste of money because the original is fantastic! I have had my for 2 years, and never had a problem…and I drop it all the time. What's nice about the CHI is that is can keep even the most stubborn of hair straight all day. If it does break, you can send it back in to the manufacturer and they will fix it or replace it for only $15 (as long as you keep the box). The second best CHI model is the Wet to Dry one. Your hair dries instantly! The original CHI runs about $149 and the Wet to Dry is about $199. The best sales on the CHI are at JcPenney, in fact on December 9th they go on sale for 20% off, and I can email you a coupon for an additional 20% off of anything in the salon.

I received it today in the mail so I will try it out tomorrow. I don't know about the CHI…I have read good and bad reviews about all of them. I guess its just a gamble you take. I think they basically all are good ( the cheaper ones I would shy away from) if you haven't been to the website folica you need to go there they have tons of reviews by users on all of the flat irons.

I personally have a Sedu (got it as a gift last Christmas). I have 2 younger nieces who share an Original CHI. They have had theirs for over a year now. They decided to buy one after having burned out 2 cheapie models that they got at a drugstore. That being said, there are some advances with the newer models. The Turbo models have a variable temperature setting. This means you can dial in the perfect temp for your hair type. If you have normal hair than this is not a big deal, but if you have fine or damaged hair, you will want to start off on the lower temperature settings. The nano is a strange one. It gets its name from nano technology. There is something special in the plastic housing that prevents bacteria from growing on it. Unless you work in a salon or germs are a concern, then its usually not a big deal. Also, the nano also comes in a digital model that means you can control the temp very precisely. The original, turbo and nano all have a 10 foot power cord that swivels 360 degrees. This helps prevent damage to the power cord and can make it easier to use (especially at the back of your head). All in all, at $80 the original CHI is quite a deal. The turbo goes for $110 and the nano starts at $130 I think. I would say pick your price range and go for one. They do amazing results.

I am a stylist and I have owned mine for about 7 years. I have ordered the new ones for my clients and there always seems to be something going wrong with them.

GHD are by far the best as a product although if not used correctly there are all bad, if you use a straightener regularly you will damage your hair, it will seal the cuticles (fibres) along your hair shaft, long term you will find your hair board stiff like. You will find a lot of breakage small or short hair’s sticking up. Try this look in the mirror with good lighting and you will see lots of short hairs, we hairdressers call it breakage and it takes years to fix. Unfortunately fashion rules although style last forever. Here is a thought, just because models with size 4 figures can wear hipsters doesn’t mean that it looks good on size 12, 14,16 etc. Same goes for your hair just because a lot of girls can wear it doesn’t mean it suites every girl, you need to take face shapes, body shapes and personalties into account. With all that said women will do what their want regardless if it stuffs their hair. And then will complain about the cost to fix it.
