Are Chis really the BEST straightener?

Ive been using a conair straightener for like3 months.

and its totally damaged my hair.

Its all dry.

And the ends are broke or burnt or watever.lol

It totally just ruined my healthy hair.

And and i have my hair bleached platinume blonde on top, and dyed brown on bottom, but it WAS NOT DAMAGED AFTER I GOT IT DONE.

It was damaged AFTER i started using that straightener.

It got more and more damaged.

And now its just awful.

Ive heard that chis are the BEST.

But I don't want 2 be 1 of those people that switch straighteners like they do hair styles and shampoos.

Im 1 of those peeps that use a lot of diff hair products, i switch mooses, jells,etc.

I want 2 make sure if im going 2 spend a lot of money or watever, i want 2 use that and be fully satisfied.

I mean is it the BEST straightener?Are Chis really the BEST straightener?
Edit:

Well that's a plus. Think about the positive, imagine what your hair would look like if you didn't use the protection spray? Maybe you should use a bit more, especially since your hair has a lot of color in it. My stylist sprays my whole head with a Paul Mitchell heat protection spray prior to straightening since I too have tons of color in my hair.





Well did you use a heat block spray/gel when you straightened your hair? If not, then that's your problem. Always use a heat block/guard when applying ANY type of heat to your hair. Even if you do get a Chi, without a heat guard spray, your hair is doomed.



Now, the Chi is great, I own one and love it. It heats up fast, curls my hair really well (even though it's a straightner, I found a way to make curls) and doesn't get dangerously hot like other straighteners in the non-heat adjustable straightener category. However, it's far from the best out there. I believe that the best straighteners out there are made by Paul Mitchell. Look him up. Also, Paul Mitchell products could only be bought in a salon, so if you see it being sold at like CVS or something, then it's a knockoff (Yes, CVS and other stores do sell knock off Paul Mitchell products legally. Don't ask me how that works out with the law system, but it does. O.o) Good luck and don't forget that heat guard!



P.S. Any brand of heat guard should work fine. As long as there is something protecting your hair!Are Chis really the BEST straightener?
no ,, i mean the chi does make ur hair straight , But it damages ur hair A LOT because u cant adjust the temperature =)

so its not worth the money



right now i have a jilbere de paris it makes my hair really straight and its only 20 bucks in sallys ,, and i wear the heat protection spray from herbal essencees ,,



ive been straightening my hair for 2 years and its not that damaged

hope this helps :)
i had a chi hair straightener and it worked pretty bomb for the first 2 years. Then it broke on me, but i didnt take care of it. But i mean all straighteners are going to damage your hair. before you straighten your hair use a serum on the ends, and that should kinda help.
Defiantly invest in one!

The tiles on them are infused with oils and junk

so they don't damage your hair.

i had a corilosise it worked alright and then i got

my chi and it was ten times better.

i strongly recomend chis.
If you are asking if conair is the best straightner no. CHI Straightener is the bomb because it heats up in like 2 minutes doesn't damage your hair and makes it hecka straight. If you do get CHI get the pink Flat Iron.
the chi works good, but I also LOVE the flat iron I have, and personally, it works better than the chi.

Uhhhh~



The reason your hair broke is because it's damaged. Try a heat protection spray next time you straighten.



Chis are really good; I use Croc as well, but they get even hotter which is not what your hair needs, obviously.
no matter what all straightners are going to damage your hair.



i went to ulta and they said i should get a chi it's the most recommended, it works great for me



everybody has different opinions
yeah i have really curly hair and i have a chi it works really good but just make sure you put in some heat spary or cream so that your hair stays healthy
As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons/hair straighteners, including Sedu, Hai, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc. You should get a Professional hair straightener, they style much better and faster, and most importantly, they protect your hair.



In terms of performance:



The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, Ghd and Chameleon. These are top of the line professional brands



Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell,



Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss



Below Average: Conair, Remington, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap drugstore brands that tend to cause hair damages. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.



=== Flat Iron Hair Straighteners FAQ ======



Q: What size should I choose?



A: For most people, 1';, 1-1/4'; or 1.5'; are all good choices. If you have very thick, coarse, long or ethic hair, bigger size (1.5'; or 2';) will save you some time. If you have thin, fine hair, get a smaller one (1'; or 3/4';).



Q: What temperature should I should on my hair?



A: Based on my expereince, 380F is the average temperature to use. If you hair is thick and coarse, bump it up a bit, if you hair is fine or overprocessed, start it at somewhere 300F, and try it. If the setting does not work well for you, increase a bit until you get a setting that works well for you but does not burn your hair. Trial and error.

chis are really expensive and not worth it, i have a revlon one i got at walmart for under 20 bucks and it works great. but the only thing that really matters is how hot your straightener gets you can get a really good one for around 40 bucks all sally's or any beauty product store. and as far as damage goes it doesnt matter what kind you get, heat is bad for your hair but its probally your own hair or you just straighten it too much, try putting hate protectant spray or cream in your hair while its damp then when its dry it'll be fien and you wont have as much damage
