I also have tried some of the CHI products. I have the CHI Transformation Treatment shampoo and conditioner. It is a thermal protecting treatment. I also have the CHI silk infusion. That you put in your hair before straightening. I like the shampoo and conditioner A LOT! It really does help protect my hair from heat damage. The only thing I don't like about the silk infusion is that if you use to much your hair feels like an oil slick.. I just use less than a dime size amount, more like a pea size amount. I think they are great products.
