It’s a sad day, ladies. My flat iron's dying a slow but sure death.
I’ve had the same straightener since the beginning of time college and needless to say I am very attached to it. That flat iron and I have been through it all. And finally, it's time to say goodbye.
And so yesterday I began my hunt for the perfect flat iron and I am completely overwhelmed with way too many options! So, I need YOUR help! I know that you ladies have gorgeous, gorgeous hair!
If you have a flat iron that you love, please leave me a comment and tell me all about it.
So far I have looked into a Sedu, Solia and HAI and they all seem to have great reviews and the same features. So, I’m torn. Please help me out.
My hair will thank you for it.
I have the CHI turbo and love it! Before that I had only owned cheap $25 irons and I'm so glad I finally splurged on a nice one. The turbo version has this little velvet cover where you hold on to it so you're less likely to burn yourself (though I'm clumsy and still manage to sometimes). It also heats up SO quickly-- we're talking like a minute and a half till it's ready to go. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI like my chi. Granted, I've had it forever as well, but it does the job.
ReplyDeleteI have the pink Chi Ceramic flat iron and it's the best one I've ever had, I got it 3 years ago and it still works like it's brand new. It's perfect, I'll never buy another brand! I would definitely look into one of those :)
ReplyDeleteI have the Sedu 1 1/2" and I absolutely love it! It's ceramic of course, and straightens my hair smooth and fast... Plus I've had it for two years and its still going strong. LOVE love lovee it. Highly recommended
ReplyDeleteI had the Chi for about 3 or 4 years. Last year I got a Paul Mitchell Pro Tools flat iron and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI am a chi girl myself. I am on my second chi and wouldn't switch to anything else. I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI had a kioseki (sp?) that lasted about 6 months but I did love it. Now I've had a Chi for about 2 years and love it even more. I'm definately a Chi lover!
ReplyDeleteI have the Solia and it is the best flat iron I've ever had. I had the Chi Ceramic for years until it shorted out & then I got an exact replica. Three years later, it shorted out too. I decided to go with the Solia after I heard great reviews from Chloe of the Chloe Conspiracy... and it works WONDERS! I have naturally thick curly hair and it makes it pin straight. I like that it has temperature gauge on it, whereas the Chi didn't. I ordered mine from Folica.com and they have free shipping. I ordered it on a Thursday with the standard free shipping and it was on my doorstep THE VERY NEXT DAY! Only wonderful things to say about both the Solia & Folica! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have the same dilemma !! My flat iron is dying and I can't decide between a Chi, a HAI or a Sedu ! Let us know which one you go for !!
ReplyDeleteI love love love my CHI and they come with a super great warranty
ReplyDeleteA Chi is essential to my life!
ReplyDeletei have the pink CHI flat iron. I swear by it and would never buy anything else. I have been through 2 of them (i dropped the other one way too many times) and I'm very pleased with CHI. while you are at it, CHI makes a GREAT hair dryer too. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a chi. Been having it for forever & I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have a silver gem studded chi. It's amazing and I will never have anything else! It's fabulous! If u look for them at JCpennys they have sales all the time plus if u get it there it usually comes with a safety bag!
ReplyDeleteLove my CHI! I have really think and curly hair and it works magic! I found mine on Ebay, never used, still in the box and packaged up and it was cheap!
ReplyDeletei use paul mitchells and I love it :) i am on my second one..the first one I had for a good 5 years :)
ReplyDeleteI am a hairstylist and swear by my CHI!!
ReplyDeleteI have had the Pink FHI (brother of the CHI) for about two years. I really like it but it only has one temperature setting. It works pretty well. Before I have had the Conair wet/dry flat iron but the FHI is waaaay better. Good luck with your search!
ReplyDeleteI have a HAI one and love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I will love reading these answer...I need a new flat iron too!!!
ReplyDeleteI use the Paul Mitchels one, but now I wish I had the chi!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a CHI and it was okay, but I have a lot of hair and it seemed to take a long time to flat iron my hair and I went through two of them in like 1 year. so I got a "Paul Mitchell Pro Tools Express Ion Style Hair Straightener". It is AMAZING!! I love it!! It's a bit pricey but I've had it for almost 2 years and no problems and no sign of quitting. Good luck on your hunt for a new flat iron! =)
ReplyDeleteChi all the way!
ReplyDeleteI love my straightener, but I don't know what it's called. I am no help.
ReplyDeleteI have a pink FHI and I LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteI've had my Chi FOREVER...but my stylist has been trying to sell meon the FHI!
ReplyDeleteYou should try the Japanese Thermal Straightening that you can get at the salon and it keeps your hair straight for 6-9 months with none of the fuss and time commitment. For touchups I use the CHI.
ReplyDeleteI've had the same Chi iron for about 10 years now. It's still working...lets not jinx it, ha!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog... so cute! :) I recently joined the expensive straightener club... my Chi is my new best friend!! You can't go wrong! I have also heard amazing things about the GHD, and I really liked it when I borrowed my friend's once. Hope this helps!
