I think so! plus everything I've heard about them makes them seem put on a pedestal!
I used mine for the first time this morning because I was bored, and I instantly noticed the difference between this one and my mom's straightener. I've got some really hard to straighten pieces in my hair that just naturally tend to curl, as does my hair in general, and it gets really ugly waves just randomly in the middle of the hair so it looks stupid. Well this one gave me a good straighten! It even straightened those ones that my mom's straightener never would. I figured they were probably more of an American thing, but they're really nice!!

They probably are! In England it's all about GHD's, they're probably the equivalent to chi hair straighteners, but idk :P

My hair is naturally curly too. When I was younger old ladies used to "aww" at me saying I should be happy I have curly hair naturally.

I'm not, I'm considering straightening it!

Permanent or just for the day? If you use straightners once you wash it - it'll just go back curly? :P

so i'm like the only person in the world that loves my natural hair. mine is wavy so i can make it curlier by scrunching it or if i brush it wet it's straight.
anywayyyy yeah my hairdresser uses chi and they're so much better than ghds. i feel like ghds do much more damage (well obv all straighteners do) i was gonna get a pair but i don't bother straightening anymore

i love my natural hair but it depends on my mood. i always nick my sisters ghds but i have some generic straighteners from sainsburys that are lethal

I hate my hair yuk. Anyway I read about chi straighteners on the internet and people say they are better than ghds. I might be getting a pair soon :)

i prefer chi's over ghd's. they're also cheaper to buy here usually depending on where you get them. mine was on sale for $80 at a makeup store and ghd's here usually cost about $200 - $250 so its about a $120 - $170 difference :P i would definitely recommend a chi.

I like my hair, well kinda. I'm not one to fuss over my hair, on holiday my mum usually forces me to wear a bobble or straightens my hair for me.

Is chi like vibe (the vibrating straighteners)?

My sister has vibe a got GHD's for christmas and she said theres a difference.

I have never heard of chi before, but as you recommend them they must be good ;).

i've never used a vibrating hair straightener! but no, a chi doesn't vibrate. what's so special is that i guess it has lots of springs, so it holds your hair a lot firmer and it allows the hair to pass through easier and tighter so you get a better straighten :P

i quite like them :) i have naturally very very wavy hair that waves in the stupidest places and it will straighten my whole head. it also is good for curling the ends in and apparently you can actually curl as well, although i haven't tried that yet as i assume it'll be kind of difficult :P

i got chis like 5 years ago, and they never ever kept my hair straight for very long so they were a waste of money for me.

ive had my ghds for 4 years now and theyre brilliant :)
