I have never purchased Chi products. Do they have a strong fragrence? If so, what is the fragerence like?

It does have a fragrance, but in my opinion it is not over powering, it actually has a very pleasant scent. Depending on your hair type, you do not need a lot to get whatever you want done, so a small bottle will go along way.

It is not super strong but it is detectable. I would call it a sandlewood fragrance. It's pretty gender neutral.

No, there is minimal, if any, fragrance. I LOVE this product and have been using it for years. You only need a tiny bit, and the bottle will last a long time. Cheers!

I love the scent. I don't think I'd use sandalwood to describe it but it is subtle. It really makes your hair shine too, just be careful not to use too much b/c it weighs your hair down. Here's another benefit I heard it had which is why I bought it-it's supposed to prevent ukus (head lice!) so I put it on my kids' hair on school days!

Hi, I use the Silk Infusion when I flat iron my hair. I think this product has a very pleasant fragrance. I am very particular about fragrances because I think it says a lot about a person and I'm very sensitive to them. This one I wouldn't say is strong; I hardly notice it after I'm done w/my hair, unlike some products that can start to become nauseating as the day wears on. Hope that helps and is not TMI. : )

The fragrance is not overpowering; it is undeniably noticeable. It smells pleasant- somewhat like cologne.

I was introduced to this product by my hair stylist, who told me "You'll love this, it smells like a cute boy!" And it does!! I would agree with other posters that it light and pleasant, not overpowering, and it doesn't linger or bother you once it's on your hair. Unlike Biosilk, CHI has no alcohol, which dries out your hair. I use it after every wash, it helps keep my hair smooth and "seals" the hair shaft to prevent moisture and pollutants from entering. I have very long hair, but I still need only a little CHI each time, so a bottle this size lasts for months!

Ive had 2 chi. They both died within a year. Finally I bought this and not only does it straigten better but it leaves a healthy shine. And i can straighten it while damp..can't do that with a chi!! Plus..you can choose the temp. 350 for regular hair and 400 and up for african american hair. Cant do that with a chi either and its a fraction of the price. I will never spend a dime on anything else.

It gets pretty hot- has a 1-10 scale. But I've owned a bunch of these. The first one worked well. After about two years I replaced it with the exact same straightener. That one lasted half as long with sparing use. I replaced again- they are reasonably priced- and the next one didn't work at all! Not even once. My advice? Don't waste your money. They are hit or miss. Spend a little more and get a chi!

This straightener is fantastic. Much less expensive than CHI and, in my opinion, better. I got it about a month ago and it's hands down the best one I've ever used. I have thick, frizzy hair.

Chai ,being very complex ,because it is usually a family recipe.....can be overpowering in certain mixes....this particular one is not cinnamon overpowered ....try it ...you might like it !

100% normal with that brand. I switched to Raw Food World organic Yacun . It's way better , fresher without that hardening

Very much swrlling. i use chi with it. it has a conditioning agent in the developer that helps with not damaging the hair as much

This is the only thing anyone in my family has ever used (a parent is a Japanese immigrant). We use ours for countless years. I just replaced mine for the first time since early high school (now 26). It gets rougher after a couple uses, but it feels greater that way; otherwise out of the bag it feels kind of soft. We never put ours in the wash, though I think we all have after certain bouts of sicknesses. This brand may not have differentiating "roughness," but honestly, it depends on how firmly you pull it and how hard you scrub. For anybody that is highly allergic to poison oak or sumac, or get frequent bug bites, these feel GREAT! Getting these now for friends who are converting and one for travel.

I tested both (one on one wrist and the other on the other), and found Frache to be lighter and not as "complex" (in my opinion) as L'Homme. I also noted the amount of time the scent lasted before they can no longer be detected (which was the better part of 18 hours). Then when I received L'Homme from Amazon, I again timed the length of persistance of the scent and was satisfied that it lasted the same length of time - indicating to me that I had received the real "mccoy". I can not vouch for every distrubutor but look at user comments for each vendor - I have found this to be very reliable. Good Luck - and I hope I have helped you in your decision.

They've been a consistent size the last two times I have ordered from them. As for size=quality, I'm not sure nor have ever read anything. I hope you get the chia product you invision.

I have talked to my hairdresser and she said that since there are a lot of chi replicas out there that the original chi company is strict on replacing them. Origingal box, purchase receipt are necessary for replacement, then it is not a gaurantee. And even with that it will still take about a week.

I work in a salon. I bought my chi 5+ years ago and have used it for the past 5 years every day on several people a day.After all that use, it is just now acting up. Chi will fix it or replace it for $35. I did buy it from a reputable place though.I also have very coarse/curly hair. Yes, this is the best iron I have ever used. Also, try using Chi- Infra Texture spray when straightening ( or even curling). You will get even better results!! (absolutely no build up or tacky feeling) Awesome product.

I love this straightener.. I have med thickness hair and I use it everyday. My mom uses my straightener from time to time, she has thin hair. She likes it also.. I usually just adjust them temp on it so it's not as hot as it is when I do mine. And I love that it doesn't pull your hair.. The Chi's pull my hair bad! Hate the Chi's and refuse to ever buy one. Paul mitchell is the best by far to me! :)

Hi! Mine is certainly fragrant, although I wouldn't call it a strong fragrance. Also my batch tastes great, with a good strong vanilla taste - but I'm used to vanilla with no sugar added, so that may have something to do with it. I doubt you got an old batch, as this company seems pretty awesome. Perhaps there is a date code on the pouch. Myself, I love this vanilla and it has plenty of vanilla flavor and smell for me.

Hi Frank, The only thing I've ever used before the cubes was crappy smelling lighter fluid. Now all I use is the cube and a chimney starter. I have some hardwood coals but I haven't tried the cubes with them yet. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but I really do like those cubes!

@Carl D.I've had this blender for a couple of months now and I've used it to make smoothies (with ice) and for pesto a couple of times (pine nuts, almonds). I I like a smooth consistency, and I get that with this blender. Also, it's not noisy, which is an important factor especially in an apartment. The construction is solid, cleaning is quite easy as well. I rinse out the jar with regular dish soap and neither the jar nor the blades have any lingering, garlicky or other ingredient smells. Although if you need to make smoothies and such for large gatherings, you'll need a larger capacity. I'd say this blender is perfect for a family of four. @Carl D.I've had this blender for a couple of months now and I've used it to make smoothies (with ice) and for pesto a couple of times (pine nuts, almonds).
