To give you are summary, although the CHI is the first ceramic flat iron on the market and the most popular still today, it is not the best. The Chi is the most well known and it does produce beautiful results sometimes but complaints of it turning a users black hair brown b/c of heat damage, have turned me off from it somewhat.

I do believe that the Babyliss Diamond Pro would be better for you to get. The reviews are amazing and the quality of the flat iron is also good.

Be sure to go to both of those links to get more information because it can't all be covered here and it provides info that you won't find anywhere else.

Hope that Helps!

i grow to be pondering a Chi, yet they do no longer have a warmth placing. I talked to those women individuals at a community beauty grant shop and they opened my eyes and made me comprehend truly why I shouldn't get the Chi. human beings have had themes with them after time...! i do not learn about the Babyliss. Get a positive flat iron, regardless. make sure it has a warmth placing, and that you're not any further putting direct metals on your hair! attempt to get solid CERAMIC PLATES on your hair. ensure the individuals promoting them are being straightforward, too... Pay for the forged CERAMIC quite of purely PLATED CERAMIC. I truly have a Sally's GVP flat iron. it really is appealing... it really is white and has peacocks on it with studs! it truly is so very similar to the Chi, in spite of the indisputable fact that it has the nice and cozy temperature placing with it. i have had solid journey with this! The plates are blue, too, so it really is truly fantastically. i recognize Sally's has some tremendous thoughts, and it truly is a positive form. solid success looking the dream flat iron! remember, if one would not artwork, you are able to continually attempt yet another. attempt with diverse irons, per chance from a salon or from a buddy's abode, and observe what you want!

I recommend a better flat iron for you, it's the Karmin G3 Salon Pro, it heats up to 450f with temperature control, dual voltage, tourmaline ceramic plates with rounded edges which makes it great for also curling your hair. Also has a 3 year warranty. You can buy from http://myhairstylingtools.com/ or if you are in Canada you can buy at http://www.rylees.ca/ . Or check out the reviews at http://flatironsreviews.com/ . It works pretty good with any type of hair, I use it and it keeps my hair soft, shiny and very straight. I hope this helps.
