It also came with a free bag to put it in if you're traveling and it's still warm or you can use it as a mat to set it on while you're using it. My hair used to be almost to my butt and it's what I used and now my hairs to right under my chin and I still use it. It makes my hair feel so soft and I don't even use a heat product or anything. I really recommend it.

My dtr wanted a Pink Chi (of course) for xmas but that didn't happen. Luckily, KMart had the ConAir Infinity and it works miracles. It's a ceramic with many degree choices. Thank goodness I have a discount card there .

Thanks!!!! Did you get the 1 1/2 inch one? The one labeled best seller?

oh Yes, about the Chi. I was over my best friend's house, and she uses a Chi, her hair is beautiful, but the thing is not helping it. She doesn't have hair that is too thick or long or anything, but it takes her half an hour to straighten her hair effectively. and also I was over there one morning, and while she was straightening her hair, the cord sparked and ruined the outlet. =/

People have to use heat protectant spray/flatiron spray on their hair before flatironing. On every section. Its ESSENTIAL to not drying out your hair!

There is a proper method to use when flatironing.....

I just bought my daughter a CHI, also. It is AWESOME!!! It is two hundred, but I got it on Ebay brand new for 80 and like 7 in shipping. Big difference. I use it to, it makes your hair like silk!!!

Not necessarily, I've never used it and my hair is in decent shape. However, at school I always use it on clients and friends but it's really not for me, it just makes my hair look gross.

I think that's how big mine is, I'm not sure. Mine may be 1 inch, it was like $100 something whenever we got it but that was like a year ago. My mom wishes she had a bigger one because her hairs so long but whenever my hair was longer it was like I had more control with the smaller one.

Which ever straightener you get make sure its ceramic !!

Right, but for most people, yes you have to use it.

I use the Sedu 1" Pro. It's $120 on Folica.com, and it's amazing. Way better than my old CHI.

My neice got a new one for xmas, I don't know the brand or how good it is, but it was bought at Sally's Beauty Supply and came with a holder which I thought was cool, cuz I never know where to put mine when its hot. I'd love a holder. It had a suction cup to stick it to your wall.

So whats the BEST straightner out there for long hair???

Here is the link to the one I'm currently using:

I didn't read this entire thread, but I wanted to tell you what I use. It's a Conair blow dryer with a straightening attachment. It is AWESOME!! I didn't know if I wanted to spend over $65 for a blow dryer, but let me tell you, it is the best purchase I have ever made for my hair. My sister is a cosmetologist and thinks it's the best straightening tool she has ever used. I bought mine at Target. http://www.conair-store.com/product_...N+208&HDR=HAIR
