I have never had a problem wih frizz with this iron. It leaves the hair really sleek and smooth. I have nothing but compliments from clients. Also I have never used a chi hot tool before.

Hi. I have thicker curly hair and this straightener gets my hair bone straight. No need to set it on the highest heat because that could potentially burn your hair I set mine on 375 to 400 and it gets my hair straight. I think that this straightner is better than Chi.

I'm African American and have been using a CHI iron for the past 4 years. By using the CHI irons, I have vowed to stop using relaxers because the CHI iron produces better results. I have not had a relaxer since May 2007 and I'm loving my hair. People are amazed when I tell them that I do not use chemicals in my hair. Just condition your daughter's hair on a weekly basis and use a heat protectant before using the Chi's. I use Farouk Biosilk shampoo and Nexxus Hemectress as a conditioner. Good luck!

I have long and very thick hair. I have to divide my hair into small sections to iron it...but I have had to do this with every brand I've had. Works great on my hair.

I have thick curly/frizzy hair and have definitely used this product successfully. You will still need a heat protectant/ leave in moisturizer but I find that it doesn't fry my hair the way a normal hair dryer/flat iron would.

310-and it works WONDERFUL! I have very thick unmanageable hair and it worked great for me. Just remember to iron small amounts at a time.

I have super fine, super thick above the chin length hair. I kept getting my hair caught in the crevices of the tool and pulling it out. You have to use small sections, but it does curl tough I would try KISS Instawave Automatic Curler at Ulta if I had longer hair. The Hot Tools one did work, but due to my thick hair, I found hot rollers took less time.

Yes, it does a wonderful job. I have thick hair, but I use the low setting for styling as the high is too strong.

Yes it works really well on all hair types. I bought it for my teen daughter with thick hair but we also use in on my youngest with fine hair. I own a couple Chi straighteners and this one works almost as well as for the price. It's definitely worth it. I hope that helped.

My hair is fine, thin and straight - not frizzy. But it adds good thickness that lasts. Cannot comment about the frizzy part though...

It worked great on my nieces hair which is very thick and curly. It straightened it beautifully and in less than half the time it normally takes for her to straighten it with a regular dryer and round brush.

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.

I do not know the difference between the two. I do know that for someone with thick coarse hair this iron is not that great.

My daughter is biracial (black & white) with naturally curly hair. The Chi flat iron work wonders for her hair when she wants to wear it straight! Just make sure to use a heat protective product before applying the flat iron to her hair (Chi makes a good one). Less is more, meaning don't apply the heat any longer than you have to! Hope this helps!

They make a wet/dry Chi. Its really only for slightly damp hair though. But this particular one is only for completely dry hair.

I had no problem using a flat iron, it does not take much heat. I do not know what setting however, I own a CHI straightener and it is one setting and works really well with these hair extensions. I would recommend maybe moving the flat iron faster through the extension. Hope this helps.
