Now...I have thick curly hair and I live humidity central...Florida! I've put the CHI to the test time and time again and it works just fine. Just like anything else out there, I'm sure there are lots of better products which you are more than welcome to recommend without putting down others' opinions.
I agree, geezz...
I replied to this thread earlier but have no idea what happened to my response! LOL

I have a chi turbo, it's over 2 years ago. Ive never had a problem with it, my salon is happy with them but my stylist did tell me to get a GHD when/if my CHI dies. I hope not for awhile though. I know that the CHI has zigzag heating elements so the plates don't heat as evenly as a GHD that has a screening under the plates that make the plates heat evenly.

I have done the Keretin treatment. I paid $150 for my shoulder length, very thick, very kinky curly hair. It did NOTHING for me. Be careful where you go for the treatment. Its expensive so make sure you get the treatment that STRAIGHTENS. I had NO idea that there is are different types of treatments, one called Brazilian Keretin Treatment and another called the Brazilian Blowout, which relaxes but does not straighten. It did nothing for my hair, it was supposed to take the frizz out, but it did not, at least not enough to have it done again. I will get the Keretin straitening treatment done one time at least though to try it and see the results. John Coppola treatment is a good one that should straighten your hair. I do use Pureology shampoo and conditioner since the treatment I got because you have to use sulfate free stuff to lengthen the time the product stays in your hair. Pureology is ok, but I don't like the smell much.


Anyways, good luck with your GHD. I think you will be very happy with it.
