QuoteReplyTopic: Best ceramic hair straightener? Posted: September 29 2006 at 2:03pm
I came across this comparison web page on the different hair straighteners out there. I have been thinking about a CHI but after looking at this I don't know.
Sedu and Solia are the best! I myself own a Sedu for two years now and I love it. I have tried them all, even the $398 Bio-Ionic which was a piece of crap and didn't come close to my Sedu. I also tried my friend's Solia and it was great.
Whatever you do, don't get a Chi. They are only ceramic coated, not real ceramic. At the bigining your hair will look great, but eventually you will notice it gets dryer and dryer. With time it will also stop heating up properly and will take longer to heat up. It has no temperature control. And the worst part about it is that they have a tendency to short out quickly. Usually within 7-9 months.
Do yourself and your hair a favor and go to Folica.com and get either a Solia or Sedu. They have great customer service and fast delivery. They also have a 30 day money back guarantee. So you have nothing to loose.
Much love, Shary

I am a professional hair stylist and have been doing hair for over 20 years.
I know you have been given advice not to purchase a CHI iron, but I have NEVER had any problems with the irons, I have owned several and NONE of them have shorted out, or damaged anyones hair.
I love them and would recommend them to anyone.
By the way, the reason I have owned several is that I give them away, sometimes to my children (grown) and also to clients. I like to get the new colors so I pass the older colors on to others. They love the irons and they are all going strong.
My years of experience, using the CHI flat iron every day at work, speaks for itself.

SOLIA SOLIA SOLIA!
That thing is amazing! It had a one year warranty and it's cheaper than
both the Sedu and Chi! I've heard that the Chi busts out after like
what? Three months or soemthing liek that... My old straightner was a
piece of crap...like forty bucks and it PULLED my hair.. I didn't know
straighteners were supposed to glide! Hahaha...plus the iron keeps my
hair soft and straight throughout the day..which has NEVER EVER happend
to me

They short out in about 5 months and are expensive. Get a Solia, you won´t be sorry.
And also don´t get a Chi. It is great that Denise has been so lucky, but many, many people complain about the same problems with it. I doubt any hair stylist would damage anyone´s hair by using the Chi on their clients hair once a week or less. But for regular users the thing sucks! and it is cheaply made. Not worth it at all.
