Sedu(1.5 inch) or Chi(2 inch) Hair Straightener?

I have medium to long hair, that is very thick. Which one last longer? Better quality? Easier to use? Please give details, and where you purchased it from.

Sedu(1.5 inch) or Chi(2 inch) Hair Straightener?

CHI CHI CHI

I got my off of ebay...and it is the ONLY thing that has EVER worked for my hair. My hair is also medium to long and EXTREMELY thick. Your hair stays straight and smooth untiil you wash it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It cost me about $85, but it's soooooooo worth it. Everybody I work with has one. (I got the 2" Turbo Chi"

Also...if you use biosilk (also by Farouk), that only makes things a million times better for your hair.

Sedu(1.5 inch) or Chi(2 inch) Hair Straightener?

i like my chi, i have had it since december and it works well. i am not sure about the sedu. I bought mine from Ulta and it was on sale around the holidays!

Sedu(1.5 inch) or Chi(2 inch) Hair Straightener?

Get the CHI!

i bought mine off of ebay, two (or three) years ago (used it everyday for a year) , and it still works great!

Sedu(1.5 inch) or Chi(2 inch) Hair Straightener?

I purchased my 2" Chi off of ebay and I LOVE it! I have extremely thick, curly hair and I find that this straightener will do the job in just one run-through. I recommend Biosilk products as well. They make your hair ultra smooth and shiny, and will protect your hair against the extreme heat of the straightening iron.

Help straightening my hair?!?

I have really thick, poofy hair and it's hard to straighten. I've tried straightening in sections and layers but it still doesn't work very well. I don't know how to get my hair shiny and thin, like how they did it at the salon.

Also, I already have a really good flat iron, a pink Chi, so I don't think that's the problem.

Please help!!! Thanks :)

Help straightening my hair?!?

Chis are good :) but after my chi wore out i baught a good hair day straightener (ghd) and it worked alot better than a chi. When i used chi it made my hair have static. idk why though. lol. So at night takea little before you sleep, straighten your hair really good in sections. I spend alot of time doing it at night so it will look perfect. And when you get ready in the morning straighten over the parts that are wavy agian. :)

Help straightening my hair?!?

brush through your hair

then put heat protector on it

Help straightening my hair?!?

Try using straightening and smothing products before you straighten. Loreal has a good product, I think it's called Hot2Straight. Ask your stylist how they did your hair. If this is what your really want, buy the exact products they used and follow their instructions.

Help straightening my hair?!?

I ahve the same problem. i'm not really experienced with doing hair. I go to the Egyptians and get my hair done once a week or every two weeks. they use a blower that contains alot of heat and a roller brush. Plus it only costs $30 and you don't have to perm your hair.

Help straightening my hair?!?

blow dry your hair first, then use the flat iron. also try to find a straightening serum [i think john frieda makes one called "frizz ease"] and use that.

Help straightening my hair?!?

you could try a shampoo and conditioner for frizzy hair, then put heat protection spray/serum on. blow drying it straight before you straighten might make it less frizzy? the hair products at the salon probably made a huge difference so ask about them.

Help straightening my hair?!?

well ask the people at the salon i had the same primal but i try ed every thing so i cant tall you the name of the stuff to us but it comes i a Battle.

Help straightening my hair?!?

Me too- it'll take a miracle to make my hair completely straight.

When you find out, tell me!

Help straightening my hair?!?

i have similar hair and believe me when i say this..it will be your straighteners that you use! the straighteners that they use in salons are called GHD's...i have them now too and believe me..they work WONDERS on your hair..also about your straighteners..they might be to small...you should get larger ceramic straighteners for thicker hair... to make it shiny and soft use a coconut shampoo or even Head %26amp; Shoulders...when straightning your hair always use a heat protecting spray which prevents you losing hair and also gives you a nice shine...and finally a striaghtening tip... part your hair in the center and get 2 hair bobbles..take out a small section, replace the rest of hair in a bobble...striaghten over till straight then tie in a bobble..repeat until finished

hope i was helpful =] x

Help straightening my hair?!?

Always always use product. Especially when you use any type of heat on your hair. I have the same type of hair and am able to get in silky smooth with my CHI and some product. I use Pureology Super Straight, it has heat protection and relaxes any curl in my hair. Remember not to use to much of any product. I also recommend not buying anything over the counter. It is just bad for your hair. You can find all the product you need on ebay or amazon for reasonable prices.

Also I recommend using a round brush and blow dryer first before the iron. For your hair to come out super straight it has to be super dry. If it is not dry when you put the iron in it...the iron will do nothing. Any type of moisture will make you hair strand expand so all of your work will be for nothing. Also some thinning might help. Go hit up your local salon and ask them to remove some bulk from you hair. Also don't be afraid to ask your stylist for some pointers on what you can do to get what you are looking for.

Hope I helped.

Never towel dry ur hair, and when u shower, shampoo ur scalp not the end ( it will dry them) and conditioned ur ends and leave a shower cap for 10 mins before rinsing:

1. when ur hair is wet from a shower use a leave in shampoo to protect it (apply it at the ends of ur hair)

2. then apply a serum again to wet hair, distributing all around ur hair

3. part ur hairs in sections starting with the bottom part, blow dry it then using a fine toothed comb to comb through hair after its straight

4. work ur way up

5. If your hair is pin straight apply a pomade like garnier fructise

6. If its not, use ur straitening iron to give it the finishing touch

7. remember to add the pomade at the end

Can i use a CHI hair straightener when i go to india?

If i bought a chi hair straightener from US, can i use it in india too??

if YES..do i have to buy a specific kind of converter to use it?

if NO..y not? is there a way i could somehow make it work there? or do we have good straighteners in US tht can also be used in India?

Can i use a CHI hair straightener when i go to india?

You don't want to buy a cheap iron and have your hair not be as nice as you would like it period so here's a link that should be helpful for you to use your iron in a foreign outlet:

Can i use a CHI hair straightener when i go to india?

I wouldn't ask that question on here, and risk damage to my CHI!

Can i use a CHI hair straightener when i go to india?

you do need an adapter. do a quick search for adapters for small appliances for international use

Can i use a CHI hair straightener when i go to india?

most likely you're going to need a converter... if you're staying at a hotel, they will probably know and / or have what you need.

i'd buy a cheapo one for the trip, it's not worth all that money if you fry it.

Can i use a CHI hair straightener when i go to india?

You'll probably need a converter, but be careful you don't short circuit the iron. that happens sometimes with appliances. Get a conair iron or something like that for $20 at the drug store don't risk it.

Can i use a CHI hair straightener when i go to india?

hey, I am going to India and I am planning to take my Chi hair straightener. Wanted to ask you if yours worked there? Could you email me at e_kta@hotmail.com. Thanks!

CHI ceramic ionic hair dryer is only 1300watts.Is this powerful enough?

as a stylist i prefer higher watts but ive heard such great things about chi is it worth it

CHI ceramic ionic hair dryer is only 1300watts.Is this powerful enough?

a girl at my salon bought the chi blowdryer last year and she dont have it anymore. she said it wasn't powerful and it didnt last long, not even 6 months. so i would say no. i use the elchim 2001 and ive had it for 1 1/2 years and still going. i LOVE that blowdryer its powerful and gets hot, great for blowouts!

Better hair straighener than Chi (and similarly priced)?

I know that Chi works reeally well at straightening my hair, but I was wondering if there are any straighteners that are better overall-in terms of not damaging my hair from heat, etc., but still straighten quickly. (I have just-past-the-shoulder wavy hair and would like to use the flat iron every other day, or so.) Thanks!!!

Better hair straighener than Chi (and similarly priced)?

I have a Solia and I love it it is just like the Chi but the Solia works way better on my hair then the Chi. It heats up really fast and goes up to 450 you can control the temperature. It is pure ceramic and has ionic technology in it to help with the frizz and keep hair straight longer.It adds tons of shine to my hair. It was $88 tax and s%26amp;h free at www.folica.com

Better hair straighener than Chi (and similarly priced)?

"Bio Ionic" is actually a pretty great hair straightener. It leaves my hair really silky and smooth and it only takes like 5 seconds to heat up. I do recommend this one!

ps - my hair is curly/waivy, frizzy etc...so it does wonders on my hair.

Cheers!

Better hair straighener than Chi (and similarly priced)?

a straightener is going to have heat which means it is going to damage you hair but chi makes this stuff called iron guard (google chi iron guard) that is supposed to help your hair hold up better against the heat

PS i have a chi and you are right they work GREAT

Better hair straighener than Chi (and similarly priced)?

GHD.

Better hair straighener than Chi (and similarly priced)?

Solia hair straighteners

www.folia.com

i think theyre only like 85 bucks but they work almost better than a CHI

Better hair straighener than Chi (and similarly priced)?

Use an ionic flat iron. It will not curl back easly.

Solia makes a Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron.

According to the Solia flat iron website, "tourmaline,

a precious stone, is used to generate up to 6 times more

negative ions than traditional ceramic irons".( $75/85)

Ebay and Chi??

I went to Ebay, to look for Chi straighteners. They're too expensive in stores and stuff. So, I found a couple, and they're all brand-new. Many are as little as $50. Would it be a good idea to get a hair straightener for Ebay?

Ebay and Chi??

I am sure it would be fine, Chi's don't really break, trust me, my girlfriend and I have dropped hers countless times, it's still fine, and she has had it for about over a year, you're good, just make sure that if you do buy it off ebay, it's authentic.

Ebay and Chi??

No it would not be a good idea to get it from ebay beacuse if it were to break you would not be able to get a new one which they will give you if it breaks with in a year. You have to purchase it from a salon to get this deal from the Chi manufacture and make sure to keep your receipt or they will not let you return to get another one. Trade secret sells them for about $120-$130.

Ebay and Chi??

I wouldnt. is it worth it to spend 50 on something broken you cant use or 150 on something you can use everyday?

If I spiral perm my hair can I use the chi flat iron?

Spiral perm?

If I spiral perm my hair can I use the chi flat iron to straightened my hair for a differnt look so that I don't have to wear it curly all the the time.

If I spiral perm my hair can I use the chi flat iron?

are you sure you want to spiral perm your hair?

because you can just make it look naturally curly and THEN if you want spiral curls than you can use a curling iron. when your hair is curly/wavy, you can wear it natural, straighten it, or curl it MORE!

If I spiral perm my hair can I use the chi flat iron?

Yes....It should work! My sister has one and it works great!

If I spiral perm my hair can I use the chi flat iron?

Nope, nope, nope...Flat ironing your hair will progressively relax your perm and break off your hair.

Chi flat iron not working on hair....?

Recently, my chi flat iron hasn't been straightening my hair. It gets hot and everything its just that when I use it, my hair just poofs back. This started happening just recently. Is it my hair or the iron? If it's my hair, what can I do to help it?

Chi flat iron not working on hair....?

I would suggest trying some sleek hair serum so when you straighten it, it won't poof back up. Also try using a special shampoo for your hair. But you should go to a salon and ask them about it, they should know what to tell you.

Good Luck! :)

Chi flat iron not working on hair....?

To add, I think you should make sure that the straightener is clean. You should also try a serum on your hair.

Chi flat iron not working on hair....?

Yep what they said. Works for me every day!!!

The helen of troy hair straightener is on sale for 30 dollars and its a $119.99 value i m just wondering if its any good or any better than a CHI hair straightener, they are both almost the same price regular price of course but the helen of troy one is on sale for 30 dollars.. anyone know ? should i get it? oh and its a 1" ceramic flat iron .. any advice on whether or not its good to buy?

Helen of Troy or CHI hair straightener??? help plz?

CHI has a better reputation, but if you are strapped for cash, and don't have wild bush hair that needs taming- go for the deal with helen of troy.

A friend of mine with long curly hair uses helen, and she never complains.

If you don't like it- you can always get the CHI later.

Chi Hairstraightner Help~?

Believe it or not, I actually found it on New Years Eve at my local grocery store! Yep, you read this right, at the grocery store. The only reason I noticed it, is I use Chi products for my hair and was looking for something and there was not only the straightener, but other Chi products as well. I'd check at drug stores too. You'd be surprised what you can find. I know you don't want to buy on line, but I think that would be a good place, and if you don't want to pay full price, try ebay.com, they might carry what you want.

Target has it and you could always order it on-line and pick it up at the store. Is there a reason you don't want to order it on-line... if its the shipping, I am sure that it will be free as that chi your talking about is over $100 dollars. You could also try Sephora and Ulta.

Chi Hairstraightner Help~?

Target carries the Chi Straightner, now you have to figure out what Target is closest to you, if any.

I bought mine online, it was safe and easy, and it works awsome.

High end hair straighteners - Chi, GHD, etc..?

I have curly, super unruly hair.. It looks a lot better straightened, but I've gone through a couple straighteners and they didn't work too well. Even with some products in my hair, my hair would like get poofy and un-straight rather quickly...sometimes not even straightening after several glides. They were pretty cheap though, like $20 or less; the last one I got was $35: better but still not too good.

For people with super unruly/dry hair, do you think it would be a worthwhile investment buying an expensive straightener? I was thinking of buying one of those $100 Chis, but I'm not sure how much it would make a difference.

High end hair straighteners - Chi, GHD, etc..?

It doesn't really make much of a difference what brand you get when it comes to straighteners. The construction, weight and warranty are what changes from brand to brand. What you should be looking for is a flat iron that has tourmaline. Tourmaline is a precious stone that generates 6 times more negative ions through heating than a regular ceramic iron. The negative ions are very gentle and use far-infared heat. Meaning, it will give your hair the smooth, frizz-free look without any extra damage. Also, look for one that goes up to at least 400 degrees, depending on your hair type. Anything over 400 degrees has potential to seriously damage your hair. Also, try taking smaller sections, starting at your nape/neck area and go slowly from the root to end, this will give you less damage, and a MUCH sleeker look! Also, try to not touch or play with the hair until it is cooled. This is because when you heat up the hair, the cuticle opens and if you play with your hair, it will cause frizziness and then while it cools, the cuticle closes and remains frizzy. So you don't really have to drop $100 on a Chi, just look for tourmaline, great warranty and a high heat! I hope this helps your hair and your wallet!

High end hair straighteners - Chi, GHD, etc..?

I love Remington's wet/dry straightner (and its cheap). Works great on thick curly frizzy hair. Its the best.

High end hair straighteners - Chi, GHD, etc..?

I have really dry, poofy hair, naturally. A while back, I got this:

http://www.target.com/Revlon-Perfect-Pro...

And it works PERFECTLY for me - so much, my parents went back and bought another one. What you should do though is for to a hair product place, like Sally's, and but large hair clips - two or three. When you straighten your hair, divide it like most people do horozontally, but also vertically. How my hair is, we had to do divide my hair into six different 'ponytails' and than divide those ponytails into four different layers.

If you don't want to do this every time you shower though, go to a professional salon and ask if they do Straight Balms.

High end hair straighteners - Chi, GHD, etc..?

I just bought a Chi last week. Get a 2 inch one since your hair is curly and especially if it's thick. The main differences between the cheap $35 ones and a high end straightener is the temperature it reaches and whether it is ceramic. The high end straighteners get significantly hotter which is what you want to get that curl out and to get silky smooth hair. The ceramic inner portion of the straightener also helps to achieve that silky smoothness and helps in evenly distributing the heat which also helps prevent damage somewhat ( the heat itself is significant damage to the hair obviously...). In short...buy a high end straightener! It's a good investment. FOLICA.com has chi's slightly cheaper than stores around where i live. I wish i would have gone to that site before going out to the store and buying my chi

High end hair straighteners - Chi, GHD, etc..?

I have a Solano Sapphire Iron, it works great, and my hair is really poofy/curly/thick/frizzy.

High end hair straighteners - Chi, GHD, etc..?

get a chi. it works really really well,

get one from a salon, they usually have the best kinds, though they are a bit on the expensive side. But they do last a LOONG time

A particular way to curl hair with Chi straightening iron?

My straightening iron advertised it could do curls and such... but what is the proper technique to do this? My hair is fine, and I could use some body....

A particular way to curl hair with Chi straightening iron?

I have the Chi. Since it is so skinny; it can also be used as a curling iron. Use it the same way, just take a section which you want to curl, and take a small piece

take the chi and clamp the hair at the bottom and just curl the hair around it likeyou would a curling iron. putting a little gel/hairspray on the hair before you curl it will help keep the curl from coming undone. Hold the chi and the hair curled aorund it in place for about 30 sec

A particular way to curl hair with Chi straightening iron?

I'm not sure, but it should. I don't use Chi, I think my mom gave her Revlon one.

A particular way to curl hair with Chi straightening iron?

I don't really know if you can curl hair with a straight iron, how do you like the iron so far??? I almost bought one today.

A particular way to curl hair with Chi straightening iron?

I have fine hair too and I love to take about a 1-2 inch section of hair starting about 2 inches from the root. Put the hair in the Chi iron and rotate the iron as you pull it straight down through your hair to the tip. (You aren't starting at the tips and rolling up like you would a normal curling iron.) This will give loose pretty waves and a ton of volume. I figured this out by just trying different things with mine. Much to my surprise I have finally found a look I love!

A particular way to curl hair with Chi straightening iron?

The Chi is awesome at curling! As a stylist, I sell just as many flat irons to straight hair people (for curling) as I do for straightening. There are many different curls you can accomplish with it. It just takes a little practice. Depending on the length of your hair, place the flat iron at the midshaft of the hair, clasp the iron shut and twist and slide in one fluid motion, continuing all the way down until the end of the hair slides through. If you stop or pause, you can end up with weird creases or lines. Experiment with larger or smaller sections of hair, but guaranteed the Chi will be your new best friend. Also, experiment with starting near the scalp or use it to just bump the ends.

Im in a kind of price range _-150

Ok kind of a dumb one I know. But has anyone ever used the Chi hair straightener. Is it good? The Maxiglide?

The CHI works great! 80-100 dollars ive heard its the best. But ive never heard of a maxiglide

Ok kind of a dumb one I know. But has anyone ever used the Chi hair straightener. Is it good? The Maxiglide?

The maxi glide works wonders for me, I am Multiracial and have very thick corkscrew hair, and this gets my hair pin straight with no chemicals. The detangling pins is what really helps those other flat irons just flatton the hair not straughten it.

Ok kind of a dumb one I know. But has anyone ever used the Chi hair straightener. Is it good? The Maxiglide?

I use the maxiglide..as a woman of color it did the job of straighting out my hair i just dont like the steamer part of it because i draws my hair back up so i dont use that part...

Anyone know where in OTTAWA they sell CHI silk infusion for hair?? is at WALMART and others?

i have no idea. but i know where im from we only have ONE store that carries CHI products %26amp;it is a professional store that you must have your license to buy. It is a new store that just opened up called Cosmo Prof. All of the other professional supply stores here dont carry it.

Anyone know where in OTTAWA they sell CHI silk infusion for hair?? is at WALMART and others?

Look to see if you have an Ulta in the area, they sell it. Also be wary about buying salon name products from walmart and such because none of those are the real deal product. Most have been watered down or something totally different. Also check with your local salons, make a few phone calls they should either have it or know where to get it.

Anyone know where in OTTAWA they sell CHI silk infusion for hair?? is at WALMART and others?

st-Laurent mall there's a Lil booth in the mall they sell good ones there

Where can I get Chi hair products?

I looooooooove Chi hair products, but the only place I know that sells them (not online) is Trade Secret, but the nearest Trade Secret is 20 minutes away and I'm runing out of Silk Fusion and I don't have time to go to Trade Secret. Does anyone know any other stores that sell Chi products, or how I can look up salons that might sell them? Or does anyone know if ULTA carries Chi products?

Where can I get Chi hair products?

Ulta does carry Chi products. That is where I get mine. I love them.

Where can I get Chi hair products?

Yes, ULTA salons do carry CHI products-call your local ULTA to see how extensive their selections are.

Where can I get Chi hair products?

I live in Texas and I have gotten all my CHI stuff at HEB. they have the straightning irons and all the products to go along with it and they are cheaper than at any salon.

Does CHI SILK INFUSION PRO HAIR SERUM work?

I have VERY dry hair and i was wondering if any of you have tried it. If so, did it work well for you?

Does CHI SILK INFUSION PRO HAIR SERUM work?

I have the product, and I have tried it before, but honestly, the differenct that I noticed wasn't that great. I've read so many reviews about it that claim it's a miracle worker when it's really not that great. The bottle I bought was tinyyy, and it cost 14 dollars. Save your money, and just go for serums sold in drugstores. They work just as well, if not better.

Has anyone tried the chi hair treatments?

My hair is very curly and frizzy. I've been looking into trying the chi hair straightening treatments.

Before I do it, I was looking for some feedback maybe by people who have had it. Like, do you think it's worth the money? Did it stay straight even when it gets wet? Can you have it done more than once without severely damaging your hair?

Has anyone tried the chi hair treatments?

Farouk's CHI hair system is only to be used by people who've NEVER had their hair permed, relaxed or dyed. If your hair has been through any of these procedures, the chemicals used in the CHI process will seriously damage it. I know of one person who ended up losing all her hair after it became brittle from the process.

Many salons will tell you that it's safe to have the CHI process done on any type of hair so long as you use a pre-processing system - also sold by Farouk - to improve its condition. This is rarely true. After more than twenty years working with hair, my stylist can tell you the odds are pretty bad. She even took the CHI course with Farouk, and told me it's really not worth it.

After your hair has been straightened - which takes about six hours of processing - you need to keep up the work by using CHI-brand shampoo, conditioner, oils, dryer and straight-iron. (Yes, they actually sell a straight-iron even though the process is supposed to let you forget about them). Also, you'll need a touch-up on your roots as the hair grows.

Finally...yes, it does look straighter than your natural hair, even after letting it air-dry, but as far as I've seen, it DOES NOT look like the hair on the commercials or ads.

Has anyone tried the chi hair treatments?

i have the chi...but it messes up alot...i'm on my 5th one from 2 years.....so i don't know.....plus i barely use a straightner

Bleaching dead hair!?

about a month ago i died my hair dark dark brown (almost black) but it is a dark brown now. (no where near black) anyways, is it too early to bleach my hair?

i use a chi straitener daily but i use all the chi iron protection for when i blowdry my hair and straiten it so its not totally fried but still...

what do you thinK? am i ready!?

Bleaching dead hair!?

You need to take it easy with the heat styling for a while and use some strengthening treaments on your hair.....and a Deep Condtioner once a week...and possibly a trim.

I recomend this Aphogee treatment as shown below. When you get the bottle read and follow the directions carefully before you buy it. Also use it once every 6 weeks. It it's the best

Take good care of your hair and wait another 4 to 6 weeks. To lighten it.

Bleaching dead hair!?

Yesss don't even bleach it for a while. If you hair is dead its dead. Theres no way to get rid of damaged hair. I don't know why you want to dye you rhair back so soon...

Bleaching dead hair!?

no...u definately shouldnt.....ur hair will just get much worse if u bleach it. I think you should make sure you use special moisture shampoo, conditioner, and weekly treatments and then maybe consider bleaching it in about 1 month or so......hope i helped and good luck :)

Bleaching dead hair!?

Or you could just get a haircolor removing product, instead of bleaching. Hair's dead to begin with, but you don't want to damage it anyway. Sally's has a product called "one'n only colorfix by jheri redding", that doesn't contain ammonia, bleach, or formaldehyde, and it's non damaging. i've used it and it works pretty well. and you can use it no matter how long it's been since you dyed your hair. if that doesn't interest you, then you're okay to bleach it. but use a warm dryer to help speed up the process, otherwise it's gonna take forever for that dye to come out.

I get split ends from my chi straightener?

well i have VERY FRIZZY wavyish/ curlyish hair is so ugly and wild

i have to straighten my hair everyday for school because if not i look like a lion. I have been using a chi straightener for about 3 years

and i have so many split end its so gross

i pick them and they keep comming back

in summer its really humid so i cant do anything with my hair

i use the chi serum that was like 50 bucks its not really working i cant find anything else that works. my hair is oily

and it looks greasy if i put any thing else in it

i was wondering if there are any straighteners out there that dont give you split ends AND WORK?

I get split ends from my chi straightener?

You're not supposed to pick split ends. That's causing even more damage to your hair. You need to get your hair trimmed every 6 weeks. Also, use some sort of heat protection on your hair daily. All heat products will give split ends if used too much.

I get split ends from my chi straightener?

Just turn down the heat setting.

I get split ends from my chi straightener?

Ditch the chi's and by GHD straighteners ! I got mine aroud a month ago and before it took ages to straighten my hair and it always went a bit frizzy and now it hardly takes any time at all and it always stays perfect, with no split ends, GHD's are a bit expensive but soooooo worth it !

I get split ends from my chi straightener?

Try the Chi 44 Iron Guard....the serum is for thicker/coarser/dryer hair. Whoever sold that to you was misinformed. As for the split ends, get a hair cut.

I get split ends from my chi straightener?

my hair is the eact same and i have spent forever trying all this stuff out and this is the best

-first use matrix biolage smooth therapie i no it is pricie but it is the best stuff ever and i love it sometimes they have a sale at utla and i buy like 10 bottles of the shampoo and conditioner

-then put in bed head after party again pricie but it works wonders and it last for ever cuz you use so little with out it making your hair greasy

-tresemme heat tamer protective spray use it always before heat

-then straighten i have a solia one inch it was 99 bucks and works so much better than a chi cuz i tried my friends it sucked

-finally to keep it like that during the summer spray in some tres two by tresemme and comb it through it will stay all day long

btw DONT PICK YOU DEAD ENDS it maked them deader and thats not a word but you get my point just get a hair cut

I get split ends from my chi straightener?

Heat styling products cause split ends. All you can do is take better care of your hair. You need to get your hair trimmed EVERY 6 weeks. You need to deep condition. Before using the flat iron, try blowing your hair out first, this way you aren't frying your hair as much. Also, wrap your hair up at night and cover with a stocking cap. This will keep your hair straight and prevent breakage while you sleep. And you won't need to iron your hair in the morning, since it will be straight. Try to only iron your hair when you wash it (only wash twice a week if you can manage).

I get split ends from my chi straightener?

john frieda hair serum in the orange bottle for heat tools. i have a CHI too , and ive used it for 2 yrs and my hair is ALL split ends, because like you, i straighten it 6 times a week, every week . i cut my split ends off myself, but you should probably get a trim. theres no way your not going to have NO split ends , because your killing your hair, so your going to have some. use a hair masque every week. (deep conditioner)

Where else, like a store, do they sell the Chi hair straightner, other than in beauty salons?

I know Sally's doesn't carry it. Any suggestions?

Where else, like a store, do they sell the Chi hair straightner, other than in beauty salons?

Most places don't carry CHI, you can get them from your hair dresser though.. They should be able to order them for you, maybe even at a discounted price being a professional.

Where else, like a store, do they sell the Chi hair straightner, other than in beauty salons?

Try Amazon and Folica.

Good luck! :)

I have a beauty license and can purchase them from Armstrong McCall but actually got one cheaper by bidding on it on Ebay. Even with the shipping it was less. When looking you can enter Chi Bling and it will bring up the ones they had at Christmas, but you have to watch because the do have some that come with Chi products but are not really Chi irons just the product.

Frizzy Hair Question.?

Ok, my hair is naturally frizzy and what I was told was to use CHI Flat Iron on my hair and then use CHI Silk Fusion after I'm done to keep my hair from drying out. But my thing is what if you can't afford all of that. Because I was looking online and all of this will cost me $159.00 and I really cant afford that right now. So is there anything out there that is cheaper that works just as good?

Frizzy Hair Question.?

The maxiglide flat iron and frizz ease serum is just as good. Bed Bath and beyond carries these items. The maxiglide is 80 bucks, but I got it for 65 with a Bed Bath and beyond 20% off coupon. Bed Bath and Beyond also accpets expired coupons and coupons from other competetors such as Linen's N things. Bed Bath and Beyond also sells the Chi and you can use the coupon on that item too. Seriously, when purchasing a quality ceramic iron you will need to spend at least 70 bucks. There are cheaper ceramic coated irons, but these will burn out your hair. Save up some money and get what will preserve your hair in the end. Sally beauty supply cells a Chi Knock off for 60 bucks. I've never tried it, but if u go to the store and ask for their generic Chi, they'll know what u need.

Frizzy Hair Question.?

Nope look at Target by the hair supplies.Maybe Bed-Head can help.:o) Oh and that's what it's called.

Frizzy Hair Question.?

Chi flat iron are the best. I tried an inexpensive iron when my CHI broke, it was terrible and it fried my hair. It is worth the 110.00 for the iron. You can get Matrix flat iron spray to protect your hair befor using iron $13. Don't waste $ on a $20 iron. they don't work!

Frizzy Hair Question.?

Ok well i went to my hair salon and they have this CHI spray for shine fusion and it also controls naturally frizzy hair (i have frizz too) and i bought it for only $12, but i would not use a $100 flat iron unless your hair is SUPER messed up, its just a waste of money, u should try the spray its awsome...or i also read in Seventeen magazine that u can buy John Freida Frizz Ease hairspray that doesnt make your hair stiff but it just controls frizz and fly aways. hope i helped.

=)Ashleyy

Frizzy Hair Question.?

Go to Sally Beauty Supply and buy a ceramic iron. As for products try Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Line. This Product actually shrinks the hair, so the frizz is under control. the serum is the best. its a leave n conditioner and locks out humidity.

Frizzy Hair Question.?

I thought I had naturally frizzy hair, until I discovered that it was pretty curly.

I have a couple of options for you:

1.) Next time you are in the shower after putting conditioner in, comb through your hair completely. Then when you get out of the shower, dry your hair and then put gel or mousee in it and srunch it with your hands. Then you can either dry it with a diffuser which does not cost much at all or you can just let it air dry.

2.) If you want straight hair, use a white conair flat iron. But if you do that. . .make sure that you condition very well frequently, so it won't dry out your hair.

Frizzy Hair Question.?

My sisters hair is sooooooo frizzy she tried everything for years. She is now 24 and has started using John Fredia's Frizz Ease. Hope that this helps you it helped her.

Frizzy Hair Question.?

Go to Sally's Beauty Supplies and the prices are just right. Also, I have heard that the Suave conditioner that is for smoothing the hair does wonders as a conditioner. It is only $1.50.

Where is the best place to buy a CHI hair straightener for an affordable price?

Where is the best place to buy a CHI hair straightener for an affordable price?

Well, it depends what you consider an "affordable" price, because CHI irons are very expensive. I got my CHI iron at Ulta, its this really big beauty supply store, for about $100. And even though they're expensive i think they're definately worth it. I've had the same one for 3 years now and its still as good as new, not to mention it falls off the sink constantly.

How do you curl your hair with a chi? my hair is really long?

-Blow dry your hair straight using a blow drier or a nice flat iron

-Divide your hair into thin sections ans spray each section with curl activator like TREsemme curl activator.

-Using a large barrel hot curling iron, curl each section and repeat until your full hair is done.

-Separate the curls with your fingers and spray them with a good holding spray to keep them in place and control them form becoming poofy.

-For more shine u can spray TREsemme hair shine spray.

Chi flat irons / hair straighteners?

I'm thinking about buying one, so I have a few questions:

1) how much did you pay for yours or what's the general price range? (USD please)

2) where can I buy one for a decent price? (In the US)

3) is it true that it protects your hair from humidity?

4) is there more then one type of CHI brand iron? If so which one is the best, or what are the diffrences?

5) If not CHI - what is another brand of flat iron that preforms just as well/better and how much would it cost (USD) and where can I find it?

Chi flat irons / hair straighteners?

1. $130

2. just about any hair salon

3. yes, i live in georgia, trust me, that is a huge yes

4.don't know; get a 1" so you can get close to the roots

5.only a chi

good luck. i love mine

Chi flat irons / hair straighteners?

well to be honest with you a friend of mine had a chi and i bought a 50$ ceramic iron at my local sally's and mine worked better. just make sure whatever iron u buy has a temp control on it. one that can go as high as 400 degrees i truly believe that temp has alot ot do with it. the ceramic just smooths better, they both fry your hair so dont get fooled into thinking that a more expensive iron wont. it will. also look for a smaller iron (slim) about 1 inch wide try to stay away from wide flat irons they are harder to control. good luck!! sally's also sells a generic version of the chi! site below

Chi flat irons / hair straighteners?

GHD'S are just as good as chi they use them in nearly every hair salon, chi are good aswell tho, i payed 105 pound for my GHD'S. and you can buy them in any hair salon

Does the Chi Straightening Iron work on short thick hair?

I am considering buying one, but I wanted to ask this before I spent all that money. I have shoulder-length layered hair that is thick and naturally wavy. Cheaper straightening irons work on it, but it tends to start flipping outward on the ends after several hours, especially if I'm outside and it's windy. It frizzes up a bit too. Will the Chi work better on my hair? Is it worth the money?

Also, where are they available? Can they be found at places like Target or Wal-Mart?

Does the Chi Straightening Iron work on short thick hair?

No you cant buy CHI at Wal-Mart or Target types of stores, but you can buy them at higher end Spas or Salons, even online(you might be able to find one on ebay NIB if your lucky)!

I bought my CHI at a Spa 3 years ago and its purple with little crystals that spell out CHI on it, I love it not only because it gets super hot but i have very thick hair so this is good for getting all my hair sleek and straight. No matter how many times I have dropped its never cracked, or even lost its color for that fact!! Its long lasting thats for sure!

Now most people dont understand how to use a CHI and then they get upset because their hair is like they used a cheap flat iron (not knocking the cheap ones)! So you want to put your hair up in sections (like up in a ponytail or clip) then take some hair starting at the bottom of your head working up to the top of the head, take about 1 or maybe 2 inches of your at a time and slowly and tightly drag the CHI from root to tip. Make sure your hair is combed nice so you dont get those crinkly pieces! Do section by section until your finished at the top of your head. I know this sounds like alot but you will get the hang of it and be able to do it in about 20 min and i do mine every other day!

Does the Chi Straightening Iron work on short thick hair?

i have one and it was totally worth the money. my hair is a little past my shoulders layered and thick. this straightener leaves it straight and silky. i bought mine at j.c penny. but they have them at target too. not wal-mart they dont have them there

Does the Chi Straightening Iron work on short thick hair?

defintely works on all hair. its amazing. buy it at ulta. if you get a coupon from there then its a pretty solid deal.

Does the Chi Straightening Iron work on short thick hair?

yeah well i dont have thick hair kind of but not that much but it is really wavy and well the chi does work it keeps it super straight all day and u can even do curl when u straighten it. they come out super pretty and it only takes me 20min and it looks like 1hr hair do but if u ask me i think its worth it my sister has super curly thick hair and it even works for her it doesnt get that straight but it still looks nice!! so i think its worth it!! but it does get a little wavy from the back just a little on when i like put my hood one for a long time it does get wavy but only the back and very little but other than that its worth it i got mine at HEB for $119 the black on!!

Does the Chi Straightening Iron work on short thick hair?

STOP! Do not get a CHI!

Get a Sedu, I've had both it is amazing!

Does the Chi Straightening Iron work on short thick hair?

In my experience, CHI isn't that great. Doesn't get hot enough to really be efficient for thick hair. You need something that can go up to about 450 degrees, and CHI's highest setting is somewhere in the 300's. Fine for normal hair, but thick hair needs something hotter. Solia's good (that's what I use now), and Sedu is good too. None of these things can be purchased at cheap stores, though. If you want a good price, try folica.com or even eBay.

SEDU or CHI?!?

i want to get a hair straightener but before i buy one, i want to investigate. soo im going to ask you guys some questions! first off, my hair is just a little below my sholders, its wavy and i wouldn't say my hair is thick, but its not thin, either.

so which hair straightener is better, chi or sedu?

whats the difference? which one is more expensive? do they burn hair easily? which type do you recomend? if you have/had either one, did you like it?

thank you for your time. *best answer will be chosen*

SEDU or CHI?!?

Sedu. I have curly hair and had been using a cheap flat iron. It was giving me hair breakage and drying my hair out. I bought the Sedu hair straightener a few months ago. It is easy to use, leaves my hair shiny and "dead straight" within 5 minutes of use (after blow drying).

SEDU or CHI?!?

those ones suck and i have curly hair! i use the ION that has many many temp settings! and i freakn love it!!!!! and it was like $40 with a life time warrenty!

SEDU or CHI?!?

I highly suggest the CHI!

SEDU or CHI?!?

Chi works well when it works. There have been a lot of issues with it lately, the most recent being a recall on them. I have no experience with the SEDU but Metropolis and the Bio ionic are amazing! I would forget about the CHI until they fix there flubs

SEDU or CHI?!?

chi for sure.

SEDU or CHI?!?

This Chi is a great straightner.

Wheres the cheapest place to buy a CHI Hair Straightener?

I know that at Bed,Bath,and Beyond its 169.99 and I was wondering if any place else has it cheaper. Maybe Target.
