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!

Hi Mercedes! I believe that's exactly what I used to use by Conair and it always dried out my hair. I'm no expert on blow dryers, but this Chi one seems pretty good. Alot more power to it. It seems to take a little longer to dry my hair but I use warm heat instead of hot. The hot is definitely that and too hot for me right now (maybe in the winter it won't burn me ;)). I would recommend something higher in quality than the ones we buy at Walmart or Target. Even check out what they have at a salon and then look for it on Amazon, you are sure to find the same product for a whole lot cheaper ;-)

Agreed to the others lol The difference is that kimchi one has kimchi stuff in it haha not too spicy at all.

I have had both a chi and non chi hairdryer in the 1875 and the chi dries faster and lasts longer than the non chi. It is important to have the 1875 if you have long and/or thick hair. You need the wattage and the chi dries more efficiently, therefore lasting longer. That has been my experience. I have thick and long hair and was buying a cheaper hair dryer every few months. With the chi, it dries faster and has lasted way longer.

I have been researching this for PCOS, and have read it is the Myo-Inosiltol you want on several sources...I'm now confused. Explanation for why I am reading it is Myo I want and have yet ran into D-chiro? Would like to save myself from buying the wrong one [in all truth, I'm out if it's something that costs 50 a month, no way I could afford that]. :(

yes, however I was not happy with this produce from the onset. It kept shutting itself off and I then bought a Chi and love it.

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.

The briquettes are pretty solid (dense). Compared to other brands like The Original Charcoal Company/Trader Joes they do not break apart easily. When comparing it to Kingsford Blue I would say that the Kingsford briquettes break easier.

I have thick hair and its curly like Julianne Margolis in her E.R. days - btw I'm Latina (Cuban, Puertorican, and Brazilian) and Japanese mix... I use it on 324 and it's straight with one pass - not bone straight but straight with volume... if I want bone straight I think the temp I use is 384 or something close to that but I rarely wear it bone straight... love that it doesn't burn or pull my hair.. I also use it to curl my hair as well... I've used chi but that burned and pulled my hair on the medium settings

Not sure if it is a knock off. It was not as sturdy or hot as my chi. So I will stick with the chi brand

That is awesome that you've been without chemicals that long. That is what I was going for when my friend tried the CHI iron on my hair. I am bi-racial as well(black, white) and am tired of having to relax my hair every couple of weeks. It worked wonders, it only took an hour to straighten it opposed to the 3 hours it takes to put a relaxer in my hair, blowdry and then press. I am buying a CHI today!

It is not heavy. It depends on your hair type. I have curly frizzy hair and it dries my hair in no time. I had chi rocket and i think i like the chi better.

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

Authentic CHI irons were manufactured in both the USA and China. If your CHI says made in Korea, it is probably a fake. The plastic of an authentic CHI should be matte black. If the black plastic on your original CHI is shiny, it is a fake. There are no stickers on an authentic CHI, although there should be a silver-colored ink stamp by the power switch which says LED. Your CHI should also be stamped GLOBAL BEAUTY NETWORK, INC. in silver on the handle. On authentic CHI irons, the ceramic should not chip or wear off. Cheap knockoffs are made with aluminum plates coated with ceramic. Also, the ceramic plates should "float". Press down on the plate and see if it moves. If the plate moves, or "floats", then you have the real deal. On the original model, there is an R, not TM, after CHI. If you have the owner's manual, it should say GF-1001 on the cover, with contact info for Farouk Systems at the bottom. The manual should be printed in English and should contain a one-year warranty. On the inside of the handle it should say: Farouk Systems, Inc, and below that should be a certification number (for example, Certified to: CSA-C222). Although newer models are 20-25 watts, older CHIs were 35 watts. The box your CHI came in should be printed in English, Spanish, and French. On the back of the box it should say: Manufactured for Farouk Systems, Inc. Houston TX 77090. Earlier this year, Farouk founder Farouk Shami issued a press release stating that he will be closing all overseas factories in an attempt to thwart counterfeiting. If you plan on buying a CHI in the future, make sure that it was made in the USA. Fake CHIs are common online, but have also been known to turn up in some salons and beauty supply stores. Never buy a CHI online, no matter how reputable the seller is. Farouk, like most professional manufacturers, only sells to authorized dealers!

It is very good quality for Chi Com - probably better than Baofeng. I have several and would highly recommend then. They come in other colors also.
