Customer Reviews

Good - but not as good as I expected
After hearing by word of mouth how great the CHI iron is and reading the rave reviews on Amazon I had high hopes for this iron. My hair is long, very thick, and very curly. I was using a cheapie Revlon straightener that got hot enough for me, but it would lose heat and I had to go over sections of my hair several times to straighten it. It didn't cause me enough trouble that I wanted to buy another straighter though. Until I found out it's bad to wrap the cord around the iron because it messes up the cord. One morning my old iron sparked at me so I realized it was time for a new one. On a recommendation from my cousin/stylist, my mom, co-workers, etc I was told it was worth it to buy the CHI. So I bought it here expecting to be blown away. Don't get me wrong, it is a good iron, and it does hold it's heat (unlike ANY cheapie irons, even the ones that say they don't lose heat) but I still have to straighten my unruly hair in sections and I still have to go over some sections more than once. So I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. I also now have to blow dry all my hair first and then straigten it all instead of blow drying a section and then straigtening a section because my blow drier and this straigtener both have big plugs. That being said, it does work better than my old straigtener because it doesn't lose heat. I also love the little velcro strap that came on the cord that way I can wrap it up without wrapping it around the iron. Is it worth the money? I guess so because it doesn't lose heat, but it's not the miracle product the rave reviews on here claim it to be. At least not for my hair.
