Kathy H. –
My previous hair straightener was my ultimate favorite, so I wasn’t sure how much I was going to really like using my new CHI. I loooooooooooove it! It gets hot so quickly and straightens my crazy wavy hair, no problem! I do wish that there was a way to keep it closed when its not in use, but other than that, its easy to use and works great!

This works great and does not pull on your hair like many straighteners do! Heats up quickly and works great! Straightens hair quickly and you don’t have to do the same strand multiple times. I had one before this and it has lasted me years! Definitely worth it!

I purchased a Chi flat iron prior to this purchase and I love love love it. Unfortunately, I travel a lot and because of this, it caused a problem with the cord and I have to play with it to come on. But I also owned the previous one for years. Because of the reliability and the fact that there is only one setting which is the perfect amount of heat being emitted, I again made the choice of replacing my old Chi with a new one. Love it!!

When I read some of the comments online about the CHI flatiron, I thought some of them must be exaggerated…but lo and behold, the CHI actually does seem to lock in the moisture better. Maybe it’s an illusion (I’m still not taking any chances and take weekend airdrying breaks and moisturize regularly) but there’s not near as many flyaways, and my hair falls smoothly to my cheek with a healthy bounce and sheen. Another positive factor for this iron is that the bottom is slightly flat, so it’s easier to place on the counter when sectioning hair or waiting the scant seconds it takes to warm up. My Revlon iron always rocked precariously on is rounded botton. The swivel cord base also makes it easier to switch from one side to the next. At first I thought the smaller plates would increase the time it takes to get ready in the mornings, but I checked and I actually got ready faster than with the larger Revlon plates. I guess I made up the difference in having to only go over each section once versus two or three times. The smaller plates also make it easier to hit those hard-to-reach sections and makes it easier on your hands since the unit is lighter overall.
I just can’t say enough about this straightener. For once the hype was not fluff. Worth every penny to finally be able to reproduce the salon look at home.

This is my second Chi Pro 1″ ionic Tourmaline flat iron. The first one is many, many years old and still works perfectly. I bought this second one for our guest room bathroom, in case my daughter-in-law needs it when she visits. She is the one who introduced me to the Chi brand.

I recently re-purchased this flat iron because mine finally stopped working…after more than a decade. I used my old iron for 12 years through middle school, high school, college, and multiple moves. I find that it boasts a reasonable price point and has never damaged my hair like some other high-priced irons have. I have very thick (like very thick) curly to wavy hair and my CHI has made it so that I often receive compliments from women and men asking if I’ve just gotten a blowout or a haircut. All in all, I won’t use anything else.

Ik ben heel verdrietig en boos. Ik was me haar aan stijlen en vond het heel erg stinken. Het plastic was aan het smelten en me haar is verbrand en me punten zijn weggeschroeit. Ik kan wel janken. Gelukkig is het maar aan 1 kant en maar 1 grote pluk. Ik denk dat de temperatuur regelaar op hol is geslagen. Hij gaat nu ook niet meer aan.

I used to have a very expensive flat iron that I thought I loved. It died after 8 years and I decided to go with the CHI after reading the reviews. I regret not getting a CHI sooner! I LOVE this iron! It heats up quick and distributes the heat evenly. There is no pulling or snagging. And the ceramic is very smooth. This is better than my super expensive “better than the rest” iron. Highly recommend.

I bought this 2 weeks ago & i don’t know how I ever got by without it. I have fine fly away hair which is prone to breakage. CHI makes all those flyaways lay flat which is my reason for this review. Buy it, you won’t regret it. Worth every cent.

I have never been honored enough to own any of your products but when I was with my friend she used the CHI Original 1″ Ceramic Hairstyling Iron and left my hair so straight and smooth and not frizzy. I live in Nevada where my hair always feels gross from 120 degree heat but when she used your flat iron on my hair it was like no other normal iron and I was shocked

I got this as a gift Christmas of 2009. It’s traveled across the country with me and even gone off the continent and through the mail service. I.love.this.flat iron. This is the only flat iron you need in your life. As of 2019 I dropped it hard and it’s life is over(sad) but this is the best gift I’ve ever gotten and I will be getting another after I’m done grieving lol. Treat it right and it will treat you right. The day it died it worked the same as the first time I fired her up. Get one, it’s worth the price

Absolutely love this straightener. Such a good quality at a great price point. I bought one in high school and just bought another one this May. Definitely worth the buy. It straightens so effortlessly. Very durable.

I love CHI. I had my Original Chi Flat Iron for about 9 years! It works great with thick wavy hair. I highly recommend this is a really good purchase and bang for your buck. You will not be disappointed by the heat that this iron produces.

This straightener is amazing. A simple 1-2 press is all you need, even on thick curly hair like mine. Worth the money, I’m beyond happy. Just make sure to get some heat protectant while you’re at it!!

love it! just what I need! I had an old chi back from 2010-12 and it recently stop working for me x(. this Chi is a lot similar to my previous (just red) works well, I can do my curls, flip or simply straight. I highly recommend it. but of course only if your not considering on changing temperatures then this one would be good.

I am in love with this straightener! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I can’t get enough of it. It heats up fast, doesn’t pull my hair, and makes my hair feel SO soft!
