this flat iron is really good but I still think that they can improve it a little bit more for girl with thick and big hair

It is very good but what I really like is that it does not have the control temperature.

A tad bit expensive... But worth it in the long run. This flat iron get the job done right and reduces frizz. My daughter has naturally curly hair and lots of frizz this is the only flat iron that will work on her hair, her hair will stay straight for days afterwards! Must have.

If you buy a CHI flat iron from a salon, it is definitely worth every penny. But if you buy a "CHI" flat iron from a department store or a drugstore, it will not be worth the money. The reason is because there are a HUGE amount of counterfeit "CHI" flat irons out there. Anyone who has purchased a flat iron from Walmart, Target, JcPenny's, etc....they are the unknowing owners of a low quality counterfeit. Which is why half the people tell you they love their CHI, and half the people will tell you they hate it and it is not worth the price. Actually, look up Farouk Sues Costco. Costco just lost over $300 million for getting caught selling counterfeit "CHI" products. The Farouk brand (owner of CHI) does NOT to business with any of those companies I named. Even though all of those companies sell a product with the name "CHI" on it. Farouk does business with professional hair companies (salons, and salon supply stores) Which is why you can only get the real thing at a salon. (Unless you have a Cosmetology license, then you can buy if for the wholesale price at a salon supply store.) The only model of CHI that really makes a difference is the new digital model. That one goes up to 430 degrees because it is designed purposely to use with the CHI Infra protein smoothing treatment and requires a higher temperature than the rest of the models. So I would go with the digital if you have really, really coarse and resistant hair. But I would only use the flat iron at up to 400 degrees, never higher than that. The ONLY reason it goes up to 430 is for the Infra treatment. If your hair isn't resistant, then go with the Original CHI. Overall, I would say the CHI straightener is a product worth spending money on, just be careful where* you invest your money.

My first Chi was a 2" and I absolutely loved it! I am now on my 2nd Chi, but am underwhelmed. This is a 1" model and I would give anything to have my 2" back (I have long thick hair). Also missing from this one is the ability to adjust the temperature. There are two settings...ON and OFF. I purchased the 2nd one at JC Penney and am now regretting it. Wish I would have spent the extra money to purchase one at a salon, or even eBay (which is where I got my first one from).

Perfect for straightening or curling! I love this I used my cousins and I've wanted my own ever since! The only flaw is the pricing

This has been the only flat iron that has worked on my hair. It's worth every penny. Even when my hair dresser uses her flat iron to straighten my hair, it kinks within hours. This keeps my hair straight all day.

Omg! I absolutely love this I use on my hair all the time!! It gets very hot which is a bad thing and there are no controls to fix with the temperature. But other than that it's lightweight and it's easy to carry and I love it

love straighting my hair

I have straight hair but I use CHI to make perfect curls that last the whole evening. It could come together with protection gloves to protect against burning while curling as you must press the straightener on both ends.

Worth the price. Really combats my frizz!

i have always been very fond of straight hair.. and this surely is the best solution i can get.

There are a lot of straightners to choose from now. Chi must have done some great marketing because you felt like you had the best when you got a chi. Mine worked well for a solid 3 years, until I had dropped it and the plate broke off. I have thick, naturally wavy hair and it did a great job straightening it without pulling my hair out (which some cheap straightners did). I didn't buy another Chi because I found a good deal on a Sedu, which I think works just as well. So it's a great straightner but I also think it's one of many now.

I have a pair of these flat irons myself and they get the job done. I love these flat irons and take them everywhere I go to get that flawless straight and shiny look. I'd definitely share these with close friends and relatives.

I absolutely loved my Chi! Unfortunately after 4 years it finally died.. I realize that's a good life for a flat iron, but being as it was my first big bathroom purchase, I was kind of disappointed it didn't last longer.
