Chi 1" True Ceramic Hair Straightener Review

I first learned what an Ultra Chi was from my boyfriend's 16-year old daughter.  I thought that hair a straightener was a hair straightener.  I rarely even tried to straighten my wavy hair because it always took way too long.  I'm like most of you....busy, busy, busy. 

The Ultra Chiis a quality product that can straighten my long, wavy hair in 15 -20 mins. (I'm no pro) compared to my other off-brand straightener which took a minimum of 1 hour!  No kidding!!

I bought our first Ultra Chi from the local Ulta Beauty Storeat Christmas time, for my pre-teen daughter, when it was on sale.  I think that they normally cost around $179 and I got ours on sale for $149 (plus it came with a free carrying pouch and matching watch - all in pink of course!).  After Christmas I was depressed because they went on sale again, this time for $99!!!  Yeeeeoow that's a big difference! 

The Ultra Chi comes in a few different sizes (width of the straightener).  I chose the 1-inch.  They now have a Turbo Chi for about $200.  I've heard (from my boyfriend's daughter again) that the Turbo Chi is "way awesome" and straightens even quicker than the Ultra Chi.  I can't bring myself to even think about buying another one because we're talking about a lot of money.

The store representative did tell me that the Ultra Chi should last a minimum of 3 years.  I'm counting on it.  The time that it saves you in front of the mirror is worth it to me.

Advice:  Always use a styling cream (such as Biosilk) before you use the straightener so that it will prevent damage to your hair over time.
