I had used continuously the old CHI for 3 years until it stopped working. I really like to use it, and want to purchase another CHI to take the place of it, but a friend of mine recommended a FHI flat iron - she had one and said it could straighten her hair. I liked the way her hair looked and the price of the FHI, so I went and bought one, despite a tiny little flaw, I'm really satisfied with my purchase.
Really, my hair isn't the thickest or the longest, my old 1" ceramic CHI flat iron did straighten my hair. But, there was only one criticism that it didn't have variable temperature control; sometimes I just wanted to 'touch up' my hair and didn't really need a very hot iron.
But after 3 years, I needed a replacement, and fast. My friend, Stephanie, had just bought a new hair straightener and I really liked that her hair was looking of late, so I gave her a call. I'd never heard of the FHI flat iron, so I wanted to know more, I called to visit her home and tested out her iron.
I really liked it. It was lighter than my old CHI flat iron, just felt easier to use and did a great job of straightening my hair. However, I was still going to buy another CHI, but Stephanie told me how much she paid for her FHI flat iron; it was only a part of the price of a CHI.
After checking things out, I decided to buy a FHI flat iron. However, I chose a different model to Stephanie's - she has the 1" ceramic, model 205 RFI, which doesn't have temperature control. I bought the 1" ceramic with variable control - model 302 RVI. It cost $90 - $30 more than the 302 RVI - but I'm glad I paid the additional for variable control. By the way, the CHI model I would have bought costs around $140 - so I saved myself quite a bit.
I've been using it now for 6 months and it straightens perfectly my hair every time. It's really impressively me is that it heats up just 10 seconds. My old one took a minute, but I know newer models all seem to heat up quicker now. Besides, it's also a very hot iron, its temperature range is 140F - 450F (60C - 232C). I never use it at maximum temperature of 356F - way too hot for my hair.
As with I said, I'm really happy that it become my new option, but after just a few of months of using it, the logo stucked on at the hinge fell off. which is a minor point, but I hope other bits aren't going to start falling off. In a word, my FHI flat iron works just great, I just hope it as last the same as my old one did.
