Whats the difference between a Chi hair straightener and other flat irons??

Do NOT get CHI. 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.



U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission just announced a recall of Chi flat irons due to fire and burn hazards:

chi- 75% ceramic, 25% metal- so it still burns your hair

As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons, including Sedu, HAI, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss GHD, T3, Kenta etc.



In terms of performance:



The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, GHD. These are top of the line professional brands



Above average: CHI, HAI, Paul Mitchell,



Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss



Worst: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, DO not buy them.
A Chi is a better straightener by far! But if you have straight hair to begin with then there is no reason for you to have a Chi. It is more expensive. On the other hand if you have curly/wavy hair it might be worth it... If you go to Ulta.. ask them there what the next best step up to the chi is... any stylest at your salon would know also!
A chi gets hotter and heats up faster and it is usually thin so you can flip the ends of your hair out.
about $75 haha no but most chi's only go to about 400 degree's. my remington goes up to 425 degree's and it was only $25 . just mainly. ones a salon name brand ( chi) . therefore it cost more. Some times they have better plates. dont get the cheap ( yellow or red usually. ) ones.
