Okay...I think I might need this for Christmas. I like my dryer but I can't stand actually blow-drying my hair. Your hair looks great in the concert pictures... what are you doing? Are you air drying or blowdrying and if you are blow-drying, are you blowing crazy until it's dry, or are you using the round brush and doing it "right"? How long does it take you to flat iron the whole thing? How often do you do it?

FWI, the lady at Trade Secret told me that CHI flat irons and blow dryers go on sale 50% off the day after Thanksgiving! I want a CHI blow dryer soooo bad.

Now, Jaye, you are worth your weight in gold for this tip! Do they only go on sale for 50% at Trade Secret? That's only in the mall, right? Maybe they have a website? I usually avoid the mall that day...but 50% off might get me out!

I have both the CHI blowdryer and flat iron - they are my life lines. I'm biracial, and my hair isn't quite curly - it's just out of control. I can literally blow dry my hair straight in minutes then I run over it with the flat iron. Both are well worth the money IMO.

Thanks Jen. I'll start off by saying my hair has a very annoying half curl, half wave. I can't let it air dry, it gets totally crazy if I do. For every day I blow dry, not crazy but not with a brush. I just run my fingers through to keep it as tame as possible and keep the general shape. After it's dry, I go over the top section with the iron so it all lays flat - 10 mins from wet to finished. For a special occasion, I clip all my hair up and let out one section at a time to iron. I make sure each section is straight and laying right before I start on the next section. From wet -done 20 mins max. I put a little shine stuff on afterwards to avoid the flyaways and that's it.

The CHI can get your hair straighter than how I wear mine. I like a litte more volume so I pull the iron up as I straighten the top section so it's not board-straight. But you can definately get your hair super straight with the CHI if it is the look you're going for.

I usually do it everyday if I'm leaving the house. It's still straight the next day but I have oily hair and have to wash every day. If you can go more than a day in between washings, you'd maybe just need a little touch up here and there.

Yes, Trade Secret is in the mall. I don't know if they have a website or not - if they do let me know! I don't usually go to the mall that day either, but for 50% off a CHI blowdryer I just might!

I just checked out their website. The dryers are 50% off the day after Thanksgiving. It doesn't look like the irons are
