Although I am now a homemaker, I graduated from cosmetology school. CHI is the only flat iron I will use. I have had the same one for 5 years now and I recently just purchased a new one. It wasn't because my old one stopped working, it was because I was ready for a new one personally. My sister is currently using my old one. The one thing with CHI is to make sure you get a good quality iron. Usually the patterned ones they sell at -for example JC Pennys salon- are made for them to sell. Your best bet is to stick with the original black. Some people may disagree with this, but you get what you pay for when it comes to CHI's.

Works great

I have had my Chi for 7 years and I use it 3-4 times a week! It still works great and I have never had any problems with it! It was a little pricey, but you definitely get every penny that you pay for!

Love it! Heats just as quick as in a second

I super-big-puffy-heart LOVE my CHI straightening iron!!!! I have honestly had mine going on 10 years and it still works like a dream!! Now that is quality! I love to also use it to curl my hair, or make waves, rather, as I like to use it to make beach waves, it's great for that too! There are tons of tutorials for curling hair with a flat iron.

I have owned many flat irons and was never 100% satisfied until I owned a CHI. They are flawless and I will never use another kind. I find that the regualar original black ones work the best rather than the designs and stuff. I'm not sure why that is but seems that way to me. i've owned two the first one was one with designs and it lasted 2-2 1/2 years and for the past 5 years I've had the original black one and no problems at all. They are well worth the money and dont damage hair nearly as bad as other flat irons I have previously used.

I really like my chi flat iron's,some have been better than other's but this is another can't live without items for myself.

My aunt used this to straighten my hair. I have afro type hair and it straightened it so well that it looked like I had a relaxer in my hair. I wrapped my hair in a silk scarf and the straightening lasted almost a month. Even with a weekly wash! This item is excellent

keeps my hair shiny soft straight and smooth

The best hair straightener out there. Heats up fast, and works great. I can also curl my hair with this tool. Well worth the price.

It has a 4.6 for a reason , I seriously love this but of course i wouldn't recommend it unless you buy a iron defense spray. It always helps me quickly get through my thick long length hair in no less than 25 minutes.

This is my a route straightener by far. I have had others but nothing compares to this. The iron is very smooth and doesn't break your hair. It can get very hot but I need that since my hair is very curly naturally. I will continue to have one of these

I have had mine for over 7 years and it still works like the day I got it! I absolutely love it and it is totally worth the money to get it because they last forever.

I love this flat iron. It takes only one to two swipes to get pin straight hair. Also, you could always use it as a curling iron.

I'm forever loyal to this straighter. It comes at a great price and gets the job quickly. With any heated hair tool I would recommend using a heat defense spray. But, my hair is always silky and shiny after using my Chi. It only takes about 10 minutes to finish my hair which is a huge plus on a busy morning.
