i need a chi.. i cant find a good one anywhere. I still use my crappy metal plate one that takes forever and a daaaaaaaaaay to heat up and even longer to straighten.

never herd of a chi?!? they are the best straighteners out there
and they are alot healthier for your hair than a reg. hair flat iron which can really damage your hair after a while

they come in all kinds and all colors

mine has interchangeable plates
some are just plain ceramic

and they work GREAT
you dont have to go over the same area of your hair a bazillion times to get it straight

I've heard of them before, but don't know anything about them. Mine works fine. It's got the ceramic plates.....it was only like $23 at wal-mart (I think) I don't have a ton of time to wait for my hair to dry (I can't use a hair dryer) so I only have time to jump in and out of the shower and throw my hair into a ponytail and go on my way.

Eh.....I don't care how good any iron is, you shouldn't use it on wet hair. I sure wouldn't. My moms cousin owns her own salon, and she said that was a big no no, cuz the one I have is meant for wet hair too...and I was telling her about it. My hair is so thick and curly, I just don't want to deal with it so the pony tail is a lifesaver for me

Yeah, the one I had before this was called "wet 2 style" or something like that, so it had levels you could put it on incase you used it on your wet hair, and it seriously sounded like it was frying my hair, it wasn't a pleasant sound, I only did that a few times. I need to get my hair cut sooo bad, I feel so ugly right now because of it lol I've been doing the SAME hair style for like a month now, pulling the middle part back, and clipping it and letting the rest go loose. Im tired of doing the same thing.
