um no that's moisture escaping..most irons which straighten hair wet are ceramic so they aren't 'frying' ur hair...its just drying ur hair at a rapid rate which releases steam

Thats the one I have.

She might even be talking about the Maxiglide flatiron it has a steam feature also but its definately not 200 its more like 80 or so

I think those kind of irons must totally take a huge toll on the hair folicle.

For the record, using Chi's on wet hair = bad idea. Even damp hair. The heat that Chi's get up to will damage hair (if the person isn't using a heat protectorant of some sort) that is dry as it is, never mind when hair is wet and in its most fragile state. Ceramic plates or not, they're not meant to be used on wet or damp hair.

Not to mention Chi's aren't suppose to be sold at CVS anyway, that's the huge issue with distributors making extra money by selling them to places that aren't allowed to have them. The Guaranteed Real Campaign can tell you more about that though.

I have the Remington's Wet2Straight
also. It is pretty good for a low grade flat iron. <3

I work in a salon, we sell a brand that was manufactured for our company. Honestly I wouldn't recommend using it for styling damp hair.

We use them at our salons when the stylists are pressed for time because it cuts down, it's more likely to damage it though if you were to use it on your own at home.

There's other good brands, but it all depends on the thickness and health of your hair - as well as how often you use it.

I recommend going to a salon and asking someone who works there what would be best for your hair.

lol People should try the Croc for wet to dry

yea as stated above i STRONGLY recommend you NEVER flat iron wet hair.. its going to be boiling your hair.. burning it.. and it creates LOTS OF SPLIT ENDS.. the only way your hair can get better from that is plenty of conditioner & a cut @ that point.. please dont do this
