Farouk Chi Flat Iron

Pros: Quick to warm up, safe, gentle flat iron
Cons: this iron stopped working for me

I probably would have broken down and tried the Chi Flat Iron someday, or so I'd like to think. Maybe not though. When I got most of my perm cut out and off in early April 2004 I decided I'd be brave and go for a straighter/flippy look. Problem ...

Pros: Beautiful straight, silky, smooth hair, no frizzies, simple to use, heats up fast
Cons: None! (Well, approx $90)

I’ve been battling with my hair for years. It takes work to get it just the way I want, which is straight and smooth. Recently, I considered cutting my hair off because I’m sick of what it takes to get mediocre results. My hair is wavy and ...

Pros: It actually works
Cons: Price

Many say it’s a blessing, but after years of dealing with it, I tend to lean towards curse more. Yes, naturally curly hair, something me and both my sisters are stuck with (thanks dad!). Mine, however, is about twice as thick as my sisters. In ...

Pros: Perfectly straight hair that lasts in minutes, ceramic iron, fast heat up
Cons: Can be damaging to hair

I have fine, wavy hair that I straighten. It looks awful worn wavy so I used to use a blow dryer and round brush to straighten it daily. When my hair was longer, that worked just fine. I recently got it chopped off however into a chin length, flippy la ...

Pros: saves time, smooths hair, straightens like no other, adds shine
Cons: can only iron smaller sections of hair, but still saves time

The CHI is my fourth straightener. I have had to replace the lower-price (lower quality) flat irons every 6 months or so. My most recent iron, one purchased at Sally's back in June, broke recently (the plates snapped in half). I was able to hold it ...

Pros: straightens and smoothes beautifully, beats humidity, quick
Cons: no auto-off, no comb

The Ceramic love I have mid length, bleached, very fine hair that is neither straight now curly. Not even wavy. Lumpy is the word. Until last summer, I had to rely on blow drying straight, scrunching curly or using a cheap metal straightening ...

Pros: beautiful hair--the legend is true!
Cons: no way to adjust heat setting

For all those times when you want your hair to look as perfectly straight as one of Cher's wigs ! If flat ironing hair ever becomes a religion (and in this vain, shallow society we live in, who knows??) the Chi is the iron I would follow. Long ...

Pros: Gets hair straight and smooth FAST. Stays STRAIGHT. Easy to use.
Cons: Expensive

If I would have known such a product existed, I would have bought this years ago! When I was still in high school... oh, 7 years old I had decided to cut my long hair into the "Jennifer Anniston" look. You know that look, lots of SMOOTH, straight, lay ...

Pros: heats up fast, straightens thick, curly hair fast!
Cons: It's hot! And a little pricey.

So, I have really thick, naturally curly hair. No - I mean THICK & CURLY hair...the closest thing to it is African-American hair (I have been told); I have the kind that you do not wash more than absolutely necessary (once a week is about right) or it ...

Pros: Straightening power, Quick heat-up time, Durability, Long cord
Cons: No temperature control, no automatic shut-off

I have really thick hair. It is curly and thick and impossible to manage. Even my hairdresser can't get it to look very well without straightening it. One day she pulled out her new hair straightener - something she referred to as "The Chi". My life ...

Pros: Smooths hair, keeps it shiny and free of frizzies
Cons: Not inexpensive. A bit hard to use if you are not dexterous.

When I was a kid, I used to iron my long hair before school. This was a fashion in the Sixties and my hair, though fine, tended to frizz or go wild in our humid climate. Now, fast-forward to today and my hair is getting grey. I actually like my grey ...

Pros: Silky smooth, perfectly straight hair in minutes! Fast heating & easy to use
Cons: A bit pricey

My hair is thick, naturally curly, and a little bit past my shoulders in length. It has never been color treated, but tends to be dry and a little bit frizzy. When I used to do the blow dryer/round brush routine to straighten my hair, it would take ...

Pros: Straightens! Fast heat up and cool down.
Cons: 110 dollars

I have always loved really straight hair and have always wanted my own hair to be very straight. When I was a young teenager, I had so many cheep flat irons, and they all kept breaking. Next to that, they didn't really straighten my hair like I wanted. ...

Pros: it straightens, it curls, and it's really fast
Cons: pricey- but it's worth it

I started using Chi a few years ago and I can't remember life without it. It probably wasn't good. I love it. If I ever go camping, this is the one thing that I truly miss. I have bangs and pretty unmanageable hair without a straightener, so I really ...

Pros: ceramic plates and coils, doens't damage the hair as a copper plated straightener
Cons: expensive

I first heard of this wonderful straightener from my best friend who just so happens to be a hairdresser. In the past I have fussed over my hair. It is already straight, but I am one that loves to mess with my hair, so I permed it. After perming it, ...
