Chi Flat Iron Review Summary

Everywhere you go, you'll hear the same thing. The Chi Flat Iron is the bomb! Our reviewers adore this pricey flat iron-- priced at over $100. Users say the Chi straightening iron has high heat, does no damage and that their hair keeps the style for days. The silk infusion system makes hair silky, shiny, and frizz free but could weigh very fine or oily hair down a bit. The original chi iron does not offer an automatic shut off feature or temperature setting. The Chi Turbo, however, does provide a temperature setting and some safety features. Regardless of the model, stylists and consumers alike say the Chi iron is the best flat iron. Not ready to commit to the Chi? Compare all of our flat iron reviews.

The Chi Flat Iron is flat out the best flat iron on the market

I am the proud owner of hair that hates humidity. My hair gets wavy and frizzy and drives me nuts during the summer months! In the past (primarily when I was pregnant), I had so little time to do my hair that I opted for a Japanese hair straightening process called Thermal Reconditioning. The… read full review »

Good result, bad warranty!

I really like how this product works, it straightens the hair great. Because it's thinner than most hair straighteners it allows for it to get close to the scalp and really straighten. I have naturally curly hair that used to take me up to 2 hours to straighten but with the Chi it has… read full review »

If you want your hair to be straight and soft--BUY this product!

Have thick hair, a person with long hair, Need reliable product, trying to take good care of my hair

DEC

2007

The Chi iron was an expensive purchase ($115) when I bought it. But for a product that I've used at least 5 times a week for the past two years, it was worth it. I always used to straighten my hair with a blow dryer and round brush, but it never looked as sleek and soft as I wanted it to look. I tried all different kinds of flat irons (the maxiglide, and mostly just inexpensive flat irons from shopping centers, but they never gave me the look I wanted.) The Chi iron straightens your hair fast and easy. My hair comes down to about the middle of my back, and it takes me about 15 to 20… read full review »

Still the best one out there for the price!

This product work great for what seems like all air types. He heats up fast and leaves hair silky. It even does curls and flips very well. It fit in your hand nicely and doesn't hurt your wrist to use it. I would not use it everyday but that would be the case with any hot tool wheter ceramic tourmaline ionic, etc. it is still not good to use all the time. Givve hair a break once in a while and then it will not bet damages or broken. I use almost every day but just on front pieces of hair but they are breaking. It is so quick to use that I let my… read full review »

Words can't describe what i would do if i had no chi iron. My hair isn't curly; it isn't even really wavy, but how the chi makes my hair shine and look ten times better after using it makes this one of those have-to-have items. I only really use it on the weekends when i have some big plans to go out dancing or something of the sort. Thus, one of the drawbacks: hair damages from heat. There are several products out there made by chi that may be used in conjunction with the iron to help protect from heat damage, so i recommend those also. Yes, it is a little… read full review »

I purchased my chi over a year and a half ago and it still works just as well as it did when i first used it. I have thick, wavy hair and it takes me about 10-15 minutes to make my hair straight. Which is super, cause who has the time to stand around in the bathroom all day trying to achieve perfectly straight hair? Make sure to use a heat protector on your hair before using the Chi, or any other heat styling product for that matter. — You are also supposed to be able to use it like a curling iron, and I've actually seen people do this, but I have had no personal luck with this… read full review »

— I use this tourmaline ceramic flat iron almost daily in my salon & it is worth the extra bucks. — I need a professional tool like this that not only will stand up to multi daily use on clients, but works quickly & efficiently.I also use it to add curl to hair,it works quite well in this capacity also. — I've had it for over 2 years & have had NO problems with it;I highly recommend this product for those who are willing to pay extra for something that DOES deliver as promised! —… read full review »

Need I say more? I have very fine hair and should probably be using the turbo for temp. control, but I use Aveda Brilliant Damage Control and it minimizes any damage caused by the heat. — — I've heard people say that they fall apart after a year or so, but I've had mine for 4 years. As long as you don't beat it around or mistreat it, it will last a LONG time. If yours is falling apart, it's because you're not taking care of it. —… read full review »

My daughter got a Chi flat iron for Christmas and it works great. She and I both use it daily. It makes my life easier. It does the job quick. It really gets hair straight. It smooths the frizzes. We both really love it! It does get very hot so I wouldn't recommend it for small children. It is also pricey, but a really good investment. Worth the… read full review »

chi flat iron: really works!!!

I got long and dry hair and it makes me sick knowing it becomes so dry after washing. Though I use conditioner to make it soft & manageable (as they use to say) but it's still dry & looks ugly. I love having long hair so I can do anything under the sun but having dry hair is not good. Then a friend recommend to use flat iron to make it manageable and look good. I had a second thought about buying one but when she let me use hers, the result was amazing! I went online to try buying one and I got my chi flat iron at beauty basic supply for only $82.99 and free shipping. They send it to… read full review »

33 years of bad hair days finally come to an end

APR

2008

This is the best product I have ever purchased. It actually gave me back 3-5 hours per week! Prior to Chi, I had to spend 45 minutes each day trying to tame my hair (neither curly nor straight and super thick) into something that ended up looking.... frizzy. The Chi gave me slick, straight hair that lasts up to 3 days. Every third day, I shampoo, blow dry and use the Chi. The next two days, I simply brush and go. It is amazing. For the first time in 33 years, I actually love the way my hair looks. It takes about 15 minutes to straighten and my hair is very, very thick and shoulder length so… read full review »

A great investment for straightening hair without a relaxer

FEB

2008

The Chi flat iron is a great tool. While it is a little pricey, it is worth every penny. I have naturally curly hair and when I try to blow dry it straight, the blow dryer alone just doesnt cut it! I have used many flat irons in the past (the old gold plate style included) and there is no comparison. — Pros: Straightens the first time it touches the hair, and helps prevent frizz — Heats up very fast (within a minute or 2) — Cons: No temperature setting — … read full review »
