Anyone else have an issue where their hair smells burnt afterwards? No matter what kind of product I use prior to curling, my hair smells burnt.

wife says that normally ...no. but if she leaves it on too long, it may smell that way. i have never smelt her hair smell burnt. she only uses a conditioner, nothing particularly for heat. daily she just curls bangs, hope someone else has a better answer.

Have you tried to turn the heat down? I haven't had this issue but thought about the heat settings and it could be too high for your hair type.

Nope, only smelled burnt the first time I used it, I'm sure cuz the product had "new" smell. Also I don't use any prodcuct on my hair. If you are using the curling iron on damp hair or just after applying the product and the hair is damp, then the hair probably is burning.

Hahah! To be honest I haven't used it since my 3rd attempt of trying to create normal waves. My hair texture is a strange one. With that to be said, I tried it on my friends hair and I've discovered that it works better when you blow dry you hair first. But, no body got time for that. So, i just have mine under my counter.

Yes I curled mine on the highest heat setting, and then straightned it again, but like any normal hair im sure if you left it on for to long it will burn, i left my heat iron on my counter for to long and it burned that. It gets staticy though so use a light mist spray bottle to keep it down. But to answer your question yes! :)

Well everyone is different and I have allergies. The faint rubbery smell did not bother me at all,,...as far as the result, my hair is long and I wear it up a lot...the curls were wonderful..I did use gel with them...so ran into no problem at all...

Not sure why it is burning. I do not have that problem. You might have an allergy to one of the ingredients. When I first used it, I did notice an odd sensation but no burning. If you check with the manufacturer they may be able to help you. Their website is www.duri.com. Perhaps they can assist you.

It's normal for it to smell a bit burnt and I actually noticed it more when I use it on wet hair. The temp drops a few times after so often but it doesn't take long for it to come back to the temp that you set it for.

I agree with ayana. The product leaves my hair really stiff after. It's hard for me to style my hair after. I usually only use this if I know I am going to put my hair in a bun or mix it with my deva curl one conditioner.

I didn't have any problem with this product. I used all its setting, works fine for me and makes my hair shiny. I will suggest to use heat protector mousse or spray before on your hair if you want to protect your hair from any heating products.

Mine isn't exactly heat-resistant. After washing, I was unsure if the curls would bounce back but they did. There were a few that seemed....flat, so I tried out my curling iron on its lowest setting and it didn't go so well. It didn't flat out melt, but it did somewhat heat it into a tangled clump.

It sounds like you had a defective product in both cases. My product was thin like a serum, but I have never had the experience that you had with it. I have used it over a year, do 4 or 5 pumps to cover my short curly hair after shampooing and conditioning my hair. But I also use other products with it. If you don't like this product, I think you should try others to see whether you get a better response. As for me, I am staying with it--keeps my hair from getting frizzy.

Great product :) i like the curls even better on the second day, if you like messy bed head curls. Only issue is I don't care for the glove. I suffered a few burns but I learned how to use it without the glove eventually.

I do not use heat for these. I use a curling mousse and sleep when them overnight. I have tried to curl my hair about 4 hours prior to an event and it has worked but it is not as curly as if I were to sleep overnight in them.

I'm wondering the same thing. I don't want to straighten my hair, just defrizz and loosen curls a bit. Has anyone tried it and cut out some steps? e.g. keeping in hair for less than 48 hours or cutting the blow dry/flat iron?

I work in a salon. I bought my chi 5+ years ago and have used it for the past 5 years every day on several people a day.After all that use, it is just now acting up. Chi will fix it or replace it for $35. I did buy it from a reputable place though.I also have very coarse/curly hair. Yes, this is the best iron I have ever used. Also, try using Chi- Infra Texture spray when straightening ( or even curling). You will get even better results!! (absolutely no build up or tacky feeling) Awesome product.

Bought it for my wife and she loves it. She says it is a good hair.Concerning the curl, she says she uses other techniques like the flexi rods and curlers at low temperature to keep the curl.She says she used it once and is yet to reuse it.Good luck.D

I think it will leave residue on the curling iron if you don't let the product dry. That said, if you let the product dry for a few minutes, I'm sure you'll still get the texture if you use a curling iron afterwards.

My hair fell out while using ultrax. I'm having a lot of luck with the Bosley revive 3 pack and minoxidil. Give it a shot!
