Features of CHI Turbo Flat Iron 1":

Ceramic Heat and Negative Ions - ceramic plates and coils to maintain even temperature all the time, seal the cuticle, repel humidity, lock in hair color and retard fading. Ceramic heat will ensure the penetration of the silk molecules to the hair.
Ergonomically Designed - 10-ft heavy duty, 360 degree swivel electrical cord to prevent tangling. Lightweight, On/Off switch on the inside to prevent accidental turn off.
Power - Flash Heating 150-180 degrees in 6-10 seconds, squeeze sensitive = tighter squeeze will direct more ceramic heat to the hair, saves energy - CHI only uses 20-25 watts of electricity.
Versatile - For straight looks, flips, curls, dreadlocks, crimping and to prepare dry hair cuts.
Safe - Circuit breaker for safety, space age installation = heat is only produced to the ceramic plates, exterior will be only warm, not hot.

Be Careful

Reviewer: Katy from Oklahoma on Sun, July 15, 2007

I got my Chi after my sister-in-law had one on our vacation to FL. I loved it. I've traveled the country with it, checked it on over 30 flights, driven over 35,000 miles and droped it plenty, plenty of times. Mine, now after all that is finally shorting out, about 2 years later. It's amazing! I will never own anything else. It won't last forever but it more than makes up for it with the performance. The difficult part is deciding which Chi I want.

I LOVE IT!

do not buy this product

Reviewer: sofia on Sun, July 1, 2007

this product worked great for about three months, then one day when i turned it on the light started to blink on and off. i felt it, and instead of being hot, it hadnt heated at all. now, it won't even turn on. this product is all talk, dont listen to any of it. you might as well buy a target straightener, it will probably satisfy your needs better then this cheap product.

works great - at first

Reviewer: Maggie on Sun, July 1, 2007

This is my second Chi flat iron. They do a great job of straightening my hair, leaving it silky and soft.

However, they do not last long. My last Chi shorted out in about 17 months. My Chi Turbo is about 7 months old and is already shorting out.

My next flat iron is NOT going to be a Chi.

I LOVE my chi!!!

Reviewer: Mia from California on Sun, February 11, 2007

Reviewer: Fiona mclaughlin from Toronto on Thu, November 30, 2006

I'm desperate to buy one, but I want the turbo, anyone know where to get a turbo in T.O. Thanks Fiona

Lucky that I bought CHI

Reviewer: Elaine from Huston on Tue, November 28, 2006

My friend got a wigo, and it was OK when i tried it on my hair. I was not sure if i would get it or something else. After I read the reviews in folica.com, I made up my mind and got this one. It is just amazing! My friend even want to swicth hers!

Goodbye kinky, curly, frizzy hair!

Reviewer: carmen from NY & MD on Sun, August 6, 2006

I love this product so much that I purchsed two! I have short, naturally curly hair. I'm always fighting nature for a smooth, sleek, straight look. Now, I've got it. This product produces so well, that I only relax my hair twice a year.
I wash my hair then blow dry with a rounded brush, using the Bio-ionic blow dryer. (I'd love to own a chi dryer, though.) Then I use Farouk Biosilk Silk therapy with the Chi Turbo Flat Iron. I flip my ends then section my hair and lift and volumize my roots with the Chi Marcel Curling Iron. Bam! With a one- two -punch, I achieve a knock-out modified bob in one hour.

I beat the heat and humidity with the best products on the market, worth every penny that I've Spent. No more cheap, useless flat irons.
Goodbye kinky, curly, frizzy hair!

Pretty Impressive!

Reviewer: Patty from NH on Wed, July 12, 2006

I have been using the Chi Turbo for about few months now and I would have to say I am pretty impressed with it. My hair does feel healthier and shinier than it did when using the cheaper flat irons. For the price, however, I don't really feel that it does THAT much better. I don't know that if I had it to do over again that I would purchase it.

Makes my hair looks healthier!

Reviewer: Helen from Portland on Wed, July 5, 2006

This flat iron gave me smooth, shiny, super straight hair. Rainy weather and even sleeping didn't affect the way my hair looked after, it stayed frizz-free and looking great no matter what the conditions. My friends used it and had to run out right away to get it for themselves. Once you've seen what it can do for your hair, you don't want to go a day without using it.

Very Professional!

Reviewer: carol from Columbus on Wed, June 28, 2006

Very very quick to heat, easy to use and light weight. I have used a lot of the top brands of hair straighteners ie, GHD Babyliss.... and can quite easily say that CHI Turbo 1" Flat Iron beats them hands down, quite obvious that these are professional straighteners.

NO.1 Flat Iron!

Reviewer: kelly from Dallas on Thu, June 15, 2006

I recently have worked with the CHI Flat Iron and it is just a dream come true. It handles hair so beautifully! My results are awesome and my clients keep coming back for more!It's really a No.1 flat iron i had ever seen!

It is impressed!

Reviewer: Susan from Ohio on Tue, June 6, 2006

Reviewer: Angelika from New hampshise on Tue, March 7, 2006

i am happy that i purchased my CHI. i can strighten my hair in 30 minutes now. it is light-weight, heats up fast, leaves hair shiny.

Best Choice!

Reviewer: Jone from L.A on Mon, February 13, 2006

I went with this and am happy i did. A friend of mine has the original and says she wishes her's had the settings like mine. It feels like my hair is healthier after I use it. It was the best choice for your hair!

Best Invented!

Reviewer: Christina from England on Wed, December 28, 2005

I used CHI Turbo Flat Iron on my shoulder length curly hair. It really worked very well. I was amazed on how straight and silky, and it didn't burn my hair.
