- Q
I'm planning to apply the Argan Oil Plus Moringa Oil first, then the Silk Infusion Silk Reconstructing Complex, and finally the Keratin Mist Leave-In Treatment. Does it make sense to use the Total Protect as well or is that too much products each time?
- Asked by Cee
- Official Answer By CHI - Brand EngageWe recommend applying the Keratin Mist on damp hair first, then apply the Total Protect to clean, towel-dried hair. Following application, dry your hair completely. Style with your CHI tools as usual and finish with the Argan Oil Plus Moringa Oil to dry hair in sections, particularly on your ends. Depending on your specific hair type and needs, you may have to play with how much product works best for your hair type.Was this answer helpful to you

My New Go-To for Blowouts
I'm usually a Redken fiend and after trying their version of a blow dry primer I was sadly disappointed. I stumbled upon this product through the Ulta website and decided to give it a try. OHMYGOD I'M IN LOVE. I don't think I've ever tried a CHI product before, but honestly I may switch brands now. ...

Not what I was hoping for
I really prefer a lotion over a spray to protect my hair from heat styling tools such as a curling iron or flat iron. There are not a lot of choices that come in the lotion form. I had been using Redken's silk 02, but it's not really designed for this use. So when I saw that Chi had come out with th...

I've found it!
I've been looking for a heat protector that also helps with styling. I was hesitant because its a lotion type of application but it doesnt leave residue like other products I've tried. I feel like it keeps my hair looking fresher longer and I stretch my wash days.
Works great on my thin, fine hair
I have been using this product for a long time and it's still my go to when it comes to hair protection. I have thin fine hair so I do have to be careful when applying it to make sure that I don't apply too much. With thin hair it's more prone to get damaged and I do believe this product definitely helps protect my hair from the curling iron that I use 2 to 3 times a week and helps tame the frizz. It also has a really great smell.
Very disappointed - good straightner, not multi use
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
This straightner is good for straightening. It does however snag my hair which sucks. I reallly was looking for a good straightner i could use to curl my hair. It snags my hair way too much. I like the sleek design, and long cord. I did return it. :(
Not worth the money
Okay I've been on a hunt for a great flat iron for my natural Type 4 hair and my multiple wigs. I picked this up because of the great ratings but i just don't feel like this Chi flat iron is worth the money. I love how long it is, how fast it heats up, the digital setting to let you know it's ready, and the lightweight feeling. This doesn't leave a shiny look or feeling, it makes the hair soft but not what I expected for the price unfortunately.
great product!
love love love! makes my hair look so sleek and is a heat protectant! the only thing is you have to apply it when your hair is wet, but thats pretty standard.
