Fix A Chi Hair Straightener

Chi Ceramic Flat Iron


Chi is a major brand of ceramic flat irons. Flat irons are used to straighten hair. Here's what to do if your Chi Ceramic Flat Iron malfunctions and, more importantly, prevent it from breaking in the first place.


Instructions


Prevention


1. Take care of your Chi Ceramic Flat Iron. Don't immerse it in water. Keep the cord clear of sharp objects. Never dangle the flat iron by the cord.


2. Avoid misuse. Warranties generally don't cover damage that is not the result of manufacturing defects. Think before you drop that Chi Ceramic Flat Iron on the floor or use it to dry anything besides hair.


3. Use the Chi Ceramic Flat Iron as the manufacturer directs.


Repair


4. Don't try to fix the Chi Ceramic Flat Iron yourself. It's dangerous to mess with electrical repairs, especially on a product that creates heat. Attempting self-repair could also void your warranty.


5. Check the warranty. All Chi Ceramic Flat Irons have one.


6. If the Chi Ceramic Flat Iron is still under warranty, you have two options: 1) Return it to the manufacturer, Farouk Systems of Houston, Texas, or 2) Take it back to the vendor who sold it to you and let the vendor deal with the manufacturer.


7. If the Chi Ceramic Flat Iron is not still under warranty or the damage to it is the result of misuse, you will have to pay repair costs. It may be more cost-effective to buy a new unit.
