Quick Tip

Back in high school I wanted my hair straighter than a stick with zero frizz. I'm embarrassed to say how often I flat ironed my hair to achieve this look. I went through many flat irons and finally bought myself a Chi.

Thankfully I've moved on from these hair days but still like to straighten my hair from time to time. Unfortunately my Chi bit the dust a while back. I've had it for over five years so I guess I got my money's worth out of it. I like to have nice things (especially when it comes to beauty products) but I have a lot of other things I'd like to spend $100 on, so I just stuck it out without my flat iron.

I was looking into a GHB straightener but still couldn't bite the bullet and I'm SO thankful I didn't.

A friend on twitter told me a quick tip that I wanted to pass along to you all.

Take your broken/outdated Chi to Bed Bath and Beyond and they will exchange it for free, no questions asked. I was a bit skeptical when she told me this because I didn't buy my Chi there so I didn't have a receipt. Plus it was totally beat up and I didn't have the box. It didn't matter though. I was in and out of the store in 5 minutes flat with a brand new straightener and an extra $100 to spend on something a lot more exciting (like jewelry or clothes or makeup!)

Have a blessed day, y'all!

Edit: I've gotten several questions about what I said when I went into BB&B. All I did was tell her there was a short in the cord and it would not stay heated so I would like to exchange it for one that did. She said that wasn't a problem, I went and picked out the new straightener, she rang it up for free and I walked out the door. I was worried that they would look at me like I was an idiot with such a request but there were no problems whatsoever. Good luck to everyone who said they would give it a try!
