My Chi straightener???

Does not cleaning my CHI Straightener changes the result of my hair straightening? Like. When I first used my chi. It stayed pin straight. Now it doesn't.

My Chi straightener???

As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons, including Sedu, HAI, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss GHD, T3, Kenta etc.

In terms of performance:

The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, GHD. These are top of the line professional brands

Above average: CHI, HAI, Paul Mitchell,

Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss

Worst: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, DO not buy them.

How long have you had it? I've actually been looking up straighteners cause I'm thinking about buying a new one, and I haven't heard good things about them. I've read that they'll work really good when you first get them but that after awhile they stop working or short out or something.

Possibly. Hair products and gunk might've baked onto the iron itself, whether it be ceramic or any other substance. Turn off your straighener, and make sure it is COMPLETELY cool, so it's normal to the touch. Take a cotton swab os nail polish remover, and make sure it does not leak inside, and then dry it off completely. Then, take a paper towel and soak it in water. Sqeeze the excess out, and wipe the iron clean. Let dry. Next time you use it, it should work out well.

Do NOT get CHI. my family went thru 5 CHI in 3 yrs. Chi breaks within a few months and you have to pay $35 plus shipping to get it fixed. Their warranty is worthless!

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission just announced a recall of Chi flat irons due to fire and burn hazards:
