CHI Original Ceramic Flat Iron, Hair Straightener For A Smooth Finish, Floating Plates, Quick Heat Up, Analog On/Off Switch, 1" Styling Tool, Black

The media could not be loaded. Woa! I thought I already did a review for this. I'm so sorry to find out that I did not, as this product is one of the best that I've purchased on Amazon and it deserves some credit.First, let me address the fact that the one I purchased a few years ago that I still use today had a set temperature setting. That is why I love this tool. It keeps my hair in good health because it does not reach the point where it will burn your hair. Ladies, if it has to be spelled out: THIS IS A GOOD THING. So before I re-started my straightening routine, I had my husband cut my hair VERY short into a bob to get rid of the bad ends that had too much product and hard water from FL that I could not get out. The bob was cute and I didn't mind because it's just hair...it grows back. It always grows nicely when I cut it. So, after cutting it, I started to grow it back out. I don't use any chemicals on my hair except Revlon blue/black hair dye. I wash once a week and try to keep my scalp very clean as it starts to build oil the day after washing although I have curly hair. After washing with Kenra clarifying shampoo, I just follow with cheap V05 conditioner that I get from the Dollar Tree. The reason I use the V05 is because it doesn't have a lot of "dirty" stuff in it aside from the Red33. I use the strawberry moisture milk. It's paraben free and has all of the vitamins that my hair needs. I do not put the conditioner close to my scalp. Since my hair is thick it is so hard to get the conditioner off of my scalp. After conditioning I put a little Pantene miracle 10 in 1 on the ends, not even spraying it directly onto my hair. I spray one pump on my fingertips and apply to the ends. Then I just blow dry it with a round brush. Then, I straighten with the Chi. I've been doing this for the past few years and it works for me. I have never gone wrong with this Chi. Just make sure you clean it with alcohol before using so the tool is clean. The reason flat irons tend to stink up your whole house is because there's product burned onto it, so make sure you keep it clean.Last but not least, I love this iron because it costs $150 less than the other one that I used that did not keep my hair as healthy. So, the price is right. I keep my hair clean and healthy with this routine. I've been doing this the past few years and since I like to leave well enough alone, I will continue. I hope this works for you. I made a video for you ladies. Please excuse my awkward movements. I was trying not to go out of frame.

My hair is very thick and curly. I have a collection of flat irons because none of them really have worked that great. I have wanted to buy a chi and finally decided on this one. I'm REALLY impressed because it does a fantastic job with my hair. It's silky and straight with very little product. My only regret so far is that I hadn't purchased this sooner. I would definitely recommend this.... especially to people with more ethnic type hair like mine.Added a picture to show the difference and how well it works.

My dad has an Afro and my mom has straight hair, so I have a balance of both, being very wavy too extremely curly on any given day.This thing works great, even with very thick hair!I am shock as I’ve always used larger plates on hair straighteners I have purchased in the past. I was a little hesitant because I was reading the reviews and some of them were saying that it’s a fake item or that the cord gets tangled easily. The product works great for hair, straightening as well as curling. I’ve never been able to curl my hair with a hair straightener, EVER! I looked up a YouTube tutorial of how to do it with a 1 inch plate, like this item has, and as I followed the tutorial, it was super easy to achieve the perfect curl, and I was literally gasping in the mirror as the curl dropped. 360° swivel cord makes curling super easy! I don’t think it’s necessary to buy a heat glove, since the tips of this hair straightener definitely do get hot, the 360° swivel cord makes it so you can just turn the hair straightener with your right or left hand without using both to achieve the perfect curl.Totally recommend this product even if you have very thick hair! My hair is also colored and I use product in my hair and I didn’t notice anything on the plates after I was done. Once it cooled down, I did wipe down the plates with some vinegar, just to make sure that I’m not leaving product on the plates themselves. I had to get a new hair straightener, which is why I purchased this one, because I didn’t clean the last one good enough and my hair always smell burnt. There is only one heat setting ~ Which in this case is not a bad thing. I believe it said it would goes up to 375°, my other one had a couple different temperature settings the maximum 450 or 475°. Even with very thick hair straightener heats up to the amount that I need for my hair to become straighten, smooth or curly and smooth.

Heats ip very fast, heat is distributed evenly. Design is average. Smooths the hair cuticle well in Chi's usual fashion. This all allows you to do hair quicker. To curl the hair onlybtakes 1-2 passes. Extra long cord is great. There is no heat controls on these flat irons, so the temperature is the temperature, and you cannot adjust it.

Es súper buena, es de excelente calidad hace muy bien su trabajo la recomiendo

I love my Chi straightener. I have bought others and they are never as good and always break. The ease of use with this tool is amazing... I can use it in a few mins and my hair looks amazing.

I do not have an actual review of this product's performance because I didn't try it. When I discovered (to my surprise) that there is no temperature control, I was leery of trying it out on my hair. Nor was there any mention in the instructions of what temperature was reached on the iron - just turn on, turn off. I have thin, fine hair, and it is important to me to be able to regulate the temperature, to avoid damaging my hair. Just want potential customers to be aware of this before purchasing!
