I wouldn't .. The CHI iron only has ceramic plates.. The Coppola iron has Titanium plates.. It's a better metal and the iron has to heat up to 450 degrees..

I'm not sure what you are actually asking but I am guessing that you are wondering if your chi will work in place of a keratin coppola straightener iron. The smoothing system works with any iron that heats up to 430 to 450 degrees,the plates are floating plates, titanium, and coated with ceramic. If the product is used correctly, then there is no concern for damaging your iron. Follow the manufacturers instructions to the letter, especially the towel blot and the 100% dry...when drying the hair. Good luck and I hope that helps.

You can use any flat iron that goes up to 150 degrees. Because that is the temperature you need to push the keratin into the inner cuticle.

You can definately use your chi, as long as it heats up to 450. The keratin requires 450 to complete the treatment. But after wipe it down because it will build up on your iron & smell everytime you use it on your other clients.

Hi! Im not sure what you mean by straightener... Do you have another keratine product that is not this brand? The product that is shown in the picture is Coppolla, but the product that arrived is not. It's still pretty good though. If you've straighten your hair before with chemicals that are not keratin or a Brazilian blowout you shouldn't buy this because it can cause serious damage to your hair to the point that it might start falling off. I hope this helps! If this is not what you meant, feel free to ask me again :)

I did not use the Coppola straightener and it did not ruin or damage my straightener. As long as its hot enough the straightener or the product will not be ruined

I use coppolla keratin twice and in each time I use different straightener (from babyliss) I did not face any problems

To be honest I used the keratin Coppola and it was good for 2weeks , I don't know if it's the humidity here in Florida but am a little disappointed .

I don't know if it is an imitation or not But it was good ,It change my thick ,curly (Asian) hair to soft and beautiful one . the salon treatments usually designed to be the strongest and they have to work in any condition with any person,i think coppola keratin that i used is not . It is good on my hair but i think in another type of hair such as black african hair it will be bad . if you use it before you already know that it is good on your hair weather it is imitation or not .actually i received 2 bottle the first one was good The second bottle was more liquid it is like chocolate milk may be it is expired or because of shipping anyway i applied the first one on my hair only (sorry for my English) I don't know if it is an imitation or not But it was good ,It change my thick ,curly (Asian) hair to soft and beautiful one . the salon treatments usually designed to be the strongest and they have to work in any condition with any person,i think coppola keratin that i used is not .

My hair is wavy and fine, and this product was too heavy for my hair. I think if your hair is thick and coarser than mine you could use it either way, but it probably would make more sense to use a product which is for blowing your hair out smooth. I also used a Ouidad product for my curls which was lighter weight, and was better for my hair.

hi, i just got a chi a little while ago and it works very well! i think it curls better than anything.. and i thought when i got it that i wouldnt get hot on the outside but it actually does.. stinks right? but i learned how to curl my hair very well without putting my fingers on that end of the straightener. i think you should get the chi anyways and just learn how to do it without touching it. its actually a lot easier than it seems.. and practice makes perfect... i did not go out in public the first time i curled it :P

No you don't. I originally just bought the keratin infusion and love how it feels on my hair. I have thicker wavy hair that can sometimes be hard to manage as it gets frizzy. The keratin infusion keeps the friz away without weighing it down and leaves it really soft. I decided to try the shampoo later. I think they work really well together as the shampoo eliminates buildup, but its optional. They both smell great and are sulfate free as well.

I spray it in my hair before straighten it...not alot though. Then my hairdresser said to spray it on after to give it more shine. I tried that and you can tell a difference. Just don't spray alot like it was hairspray. I just spray the top and a little on the sides. Great product have used it for 4 years.

my hair is thick and I first dry it with a normal hairdryer because it would take a very long time with the curler as it is not that high powered or hot. But, drying with the regular dryer I get it 95% dry then style with the curler. My hair is straight does not have any wave, kink, curl what-so-ever so the styler tames broken split ends....gives it shape, and a slight curl under. I do not believe it replaces a normal blow dryer...at least not for me

Hi I have straight hair and the curls came out really tight . So maybe you should make it straight before using . Or you can try it your way first if it don't work try it my way . Have a great day

The Infusion Therapy is more like a conditioner. The Complex Infusion is closer to a straightener. I use both. The Infusion therapy as my conditioner and the complex infusion, I apply to my hair wet and then blow dry straight. I have really curly hair. It is the best thing I have found to get my hair straight. Hope this helps

I bought mine months ago..like way before Thanksgiving and i still have it. I use mine all the time..usually when Im in my 5 week..I use it for just my part too. The little comb is great,..I use this after I blow dry my hair before i use the flat iron. with the comb held under you just 'color' the roots using the comb to protect your scalp. I totally love this product.. I cant express how awesome it is. SO much better then any 'mascara' type root touch up or the powder..this is the best Ive tried. Good luck!

No it does not...This is an exceptional product that works for me, I followed the directions exactly from the Coppola web-site. I use the Keratin Shampoo, Infusion product on wet hair, blow out, flat iron and go. Love it would recommend to anyone with fine wavy, summer firzzy, hair.

Yes! Just make sure that when you are doing the straightener, your get a very thin layer. I find that the straightener is the most important step.

Hi this is definitely not a straightener, it is a true keratin treatment that will decrease volume & frizz, make your hair manageable all while leaving your curl.. I've used this treatment approximately 3 or 4 times now this past year & my hair is growing in nice & healthy. While I do enjoy the results, I must say it takes a lot to do this procedure so make sure to have time on your hands on the day that you choose. Also, I have to be honest ... Not to crazy about the smell however a friend did tell me once shortly after a treatment I smelled good ...go figure lol. Let me know if you choose to buy it what you think...take care

My experience with the product, which I love, is that I have to use very little, and I do not let it sit in my hair. I mix it through and rinse immediately. I have found if I use too much, my hair seems to get dirtier faster. And yes, I think if you are trying to preserve your curls, this is not the conditioner for you. It does have a flattening/sleeking effect.

I had the keratin treatment done in the middle of September and also get my hair colored. I have used the colorproof line of products since then and have not had any problems. However, I would make sure which treatment you got because there is the keratin and then there is the Brazilian blowout. I have never done the Brazilian so if that is what you got then you might want to ask your hair dresser.

As far as I know, any straightener can be used to curl, but I do recommend this particular straightener because of the keratin plates on it, it keeps the hair healthier.

i wouldn't recomend this product ever,it has very harsh chemicals,like honestly i lost 1/3 of my hair because of it after just one use and i threw the rest of it ,,i tried this one after and it was much better it has no formaldehyde and gives u the straight look http://www.amazon.com/COCOCHOCO-Original-Brazilian-Straightening-Treatment/dp/B004GVZCAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1379368929&sr;=8-1&keywords;=cocochoco+brazilian+keratin+treatment it is enough for 3 times or more depends on the length of your hair :)
