Chi Flat Iron Sucks?

Question

My friend introduced it to me around 7 months ago, promising me that it was a great iron. when i tried it, even with protection serum, it fried! It doesn't even have a temperature setting! That is why it fries, you don't even know how high the temp is, and you can't use it on your bangs!

my friend's broke within 4 months.=[

Did you have the same problem with Chi?

Answer 1

my family went thru 5 CHI in 3 yrs. Chi breaks within a few months and you have to pay $35 plus shipping to get it fixed.

Chi is being recalled now due to fire hazards. see:

Yes, CHI sucks!

Answer 2

I absolutely love my chi I've had it for over a year and it still works well. Its never fried my hair, you probobly just use crappy protecting serum. Also you just shouldn't let it get to hot. It heats up within seconds so you shouldn't leave it running all day. And yes you can straighten bangs with a CHI, I straighten mine damn near everyday with mine.

Answer 3

I have no problem with mine. I got one for my 2 daughters and 2 of my friends. They love it. I also have a Coroliss and it's just as good. I bought it because it was purple and is only 1/2 inch and it's great for the bangs. Don't leave the iron on your hair for long, that's what frys your hair and don't do it every single day. You should wrap the cord around it either or that will break the iron. 2D

Answer 4

mine broke but i found out later that if when you put your chi up you roll the cord around the straighter it will break so make sure you don't do that!.. also do you use the protection serum that is made by chi?

Answer 5
