CHI TURBO DIGITAL CERAMIC FLAT IRON 1 1/2" GF1539D

Comment: This Chi works extremely well on those bad hair days. I like the wider width too because it speeds up the whole hair straightening process, yet does not damage my hair.

Comment: Way better than your average, run-of-the-mill hair straightener. Came just as described with no problems.

Comment: don't waste your money buying other flat irons. I have spent a small fortune purchasing others,finally broke down 6 yrs ago and purchased the CHI. I need a new one because my Daughter uses mine and she dropped it and knocked the plate loose. Don't know whether to purchase another or try to get it fixed. The prices here are excellant!

Comment: This is the third CHI flat iron I have bought and I love them. I love the digital thermometer to tell you the current heat. I had bought a beverly hills salon named flat iron, only to realize it was not as heavy duty as I needed. I have THICK CURLY hair, and it takes about an hour to get it dry/straight, and the CHI flat irons are the only ones I rely on. I recomend this to anybody that desires straight, smooth hair!

Comment: After my girlfriend casually mentioned needing a hair straightener on numerous occasions, I finally decided to pull the trigger and just get her one. I did what most men would do and referred immediately to the reviews of said straighteners. After a good bit of research I settled on the "Remington S-8400 2 1/4" TStudio Tourmaline Ceramic Straightener." Reviews for this straightener were awesome, plus it was roughly $60 less than the Chi. Not having any experience with these things, I assumed this was good enough. I think most men would be with me on this equation: we read that other people liked it + it isn't unnecessarily expensive = it would make her happy, thus scoring me points. What a fool....

After informing my gf of the purchase, she gave me the "Oh that was so nice of you." Those of us perceptive enough to pick up on this know that really means "You should have had me with you/consulted me before making this purchase." After a thorough explanation that informed me that by paying 3 times as much for a brand I'd never heard of (Remington made a sweet face razor I used for like 6 years), I would be virtually guaranteeing the straightener to work FOREVER and she'll never have to buy one again.

I bought the CHI, completely ignoring my rational/logical instincts. After we received it, she was overjoyed mentioning time and again how well it worked. The straightener worked great (she has medium thickness hair, not real curly) for 3 and 1/2 weeks. Then, it just stopped working, all together. No lights, no heat, no straightener, no money back. After just explaining to her that I was writing this review, she said, "Oh yeah, i really need a new one. I found a good price on the same one online the other day." I nearly lost it. DO NOT BUY - OVERPRICED JUNK.
