I have a Hot Tools flat iron and for a while I knew something was up. It just was not getting hot enough. This morning, it died. (yeah - halfway through my head.) I have had it about 4 or 5 years. It maybe nearing 6. It has been dropped countless times.
My question to you is - do I get another cheapie straightener or do I splurge for a Chi? Will the Chi last me longer than 5 years? Is is REALLY worth it? P

As somebody that straightens her hair on almost a daily basis...I don't think CHI's are made like they used to be. My last one was a flop and I've read that from a few different reviews. I have a $30 flat iron that works great for me now. I think the brand is Hot Tools (and I'm way too lazy to go upstairs right now and check for sure heh) I got it at ULTA on sale about 2 years ago

I've had this one for at least five years (I don't remember when I started straightening my hair?). I love it. And it still works.

It's so funny that you started this thread b/c yesterday when I was straightening my hair I was thinking of what a great flat iron mine has been. I bought it 7 years ago and it's still working as good today as it did the day I got it...this is the one I have..
http://www.amazon.com/Solia-Tourmali...olia+flat+iron I've never had a Chi..but I do know my sister has gone through at least 2 Chi's since I bought my Solia.

I have a croc turbo ion and I have 2 FHI ones (different plate sizes). They're all amazing, but I use my Croc more often.
I always shop at Amazon for mine...soooo much cheaper than even what my stylist can get it for me at. Worth every penny! |

The Chi used to be made by infared and they sold out to farouk, they are now made cheaper and dont last near as long. I sell my customers the GHD it is by far the best flat iron there is. It is pricey but I sell it at my cost to my clients. I figure if I am doing their color and cuts on a regular basis I can help them out with a good flatiron. It is anywhere from $130-$150 my cost but they sell for around $250-$300 regular price.

I have GHD straighteners and love them. I really need to straighten my hair every day but I know that it is bad so try to cut it down to 4 or 5 times a week and I clip it up on the days I'm not straightening

I had a Solia like Nikki for about 8 years and it was awesome. Loved it. But the cord ended up breaking so I had to get a new one. I got a CHI and I really regret it.

I'm on my second CHI. The first one I replaced after 3 years because it wasn't getting as hot. I like mine but I don't think they last as long as they should and will probably go with something else next time.

I have one of the GVP ones from Sally's, I actually like it a lot. I use it to straighten and curl and it's worked like a charm. I haven't had it for years and years but it's beat all the others I've had hands down.

I second the GHD rec's...I have a Chi which I love but I recently bought the GHD and there is no comparison...NONE...I love that thing.
This is the one I have... http://www.amazon.com/GHD-Scarlet-Co...ghd+hair+irons

I wish I could! Unfortunately I'm one of those lucky ones who has neither curly nor straight hair..it's just super fine and if I don't straighten it then it's a frizzy hot mess..without a curl in sight

One of my best friends uses an InStyler. It is amazing. Kind of pricey, but it really does an amazing job. It is on my never-ending wishlist!
