I have had a CHI before, and I ended up not liking it because I keep highlights in my hair year round. It always dried my hair out. After awhile I heard some good things about the Sedu flat iron, so I bought it almost 2 years ago, and it's still going strong. It makes my hair shiny and so soft, and never dries it out. (I sound like a sales rep!) Actually my sister has the worst, natural curly hair ever, and it's soooo thick! So I bought her one for Christmas, and the difference that it makes in her hair is amazing. I will never own another brand again. I bought mine off of folica...
