Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

Ok I use a Chi and after while I can smell my hair and it smells very burnt and stinky after I straighten it.

No I don't over straighten it but ever since I started using a Chi it really has a fried scent to it.

What can I do about this?

Don't say stop using a Chi because I just spend tons on it and it works my hair just has a bad odor after I flat iron it and yes I shampoo and condition.

Should I spray like body spray on it or what!?

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

I use Chi too and I know exactly what you mean. First thing you need to make sure that you have some sort of product in your hair (i.e. mousse, straightening gel). This will help protect your hair from the heat damage. Secondly, most straighteners have some sort of dial to change how hot the thing gets. Make sure that this is not on high. The high setting is for people with extremely coarse, and curly hair. Turn this dial to the middle or set it to medium. That is what I do and it prevents the stinky smell and the frying of the hair. I love Chi and I hope this info helps!

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

Did you just buy the chi? If so, it is normal to have an odor and even smoke the first few times you use it. That will eventually stop with use. Also, are you using any heavy products on your hair prior to straightening it? You should shampoo and condition and then blow dry your hair (unless it is a chi wet-to-dry). After it's dry, you should apply a thermal protective spray and flat iron it. Save all other products, including hairspray, until after you are done with the iron, otherwise you could cause that "fried" smell.

Good Luck!
