Farouk CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Hairstyling Iron

I loved using the CHI, and it worked wonderfully on my thick hair, but it stopped working after 6 months of light to moderate use! My previous straightener lasted 2-3 years, and at 1/4 of the price of the CHI. While the quality of this product is far superior to any others I've used, I would not purchase again.

Be very careful purchasing from non-Amazon sources like third party sellers as you may well be buying a knock off. A friend of mine attended a beauty show in China last winter and the fakes were all over the place. They even had the same box and UPCs.

I've been using this straightener for over a year now, and it's awesome! It leaves my hair super soft and smooth, and heats up quickly. It also doesn't cause any damage to my hair (I use a heat protectant with it, which probably helps). Even in fog, mist, and wind, which usually make my straightened hair really frizzy, it stays nice and straight. The price is pretty high, but if you're going to be using it more than once a week, I really think its worth it.

This is truly the best hair straightener I have ever used. It heats up quickly and does a great job straightening my curly hair. It lasts all day, even in humid weather. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a straightener.

CHI products are amazing and really do a great job. The only straightener I will buy!
