There is the humongous thread over at beauty buzz regarding this CHI Flat Iron. This iron cost over $120.00 but the strange thing about it is that it has no temp control and it doesn’t list the temperature that the iron reaches. I posted a question in the thread to the person who raved the most about this particular iron and asked if she knew about the temperature of this iron, no answer. Do any of you ladies know anything about this iron? I am personally trying to stay away from heat but they were raving like mad on this iron so the raves are making everyone want to try one or, question its components. Does it seem strange that no temperature is available on this iron, or, is that normal? There is a $349.00 iron (ADST EX, comes with a lifetime warranty) that I looked into and it gave a temperature range between 170-410 degrees so, it can not be that it is a professional item and thus the information is not available.
I personally would not purchase something with limited information. I called two companies that are selling this iron and they both said that information is not provided, neither on the box or papers inside the box. That sounds strange to me. Any ideals? After reading all of their raves on that iron and the raves that were on this board regarding the Jilbere, I decided to purchase the Jilbere because it has a temperature control and it lets you know how hot the iron will get for 1/3 of the price of the CHI. Additionally, the Jilbere has a 2-year warranty whereas the CHI only has a one-year warranty. The Jilbere worked fine on my hair, I have about one and a half inches of new growth (haven’t relaxed since September) and with it set on about 12 it made my waves very smooth. I have seen times when I would have run out to get that CHI, I guess that I have tried so many recommendations from that board and none of them has lived up to the raves thus far. I could not risk $124.00 (plus $14 for shipping) on a couple of raves with limited information.
Here’s the famous iron:
