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

I used a cheap hot hair straightener and after 30 still wasn't straight! I used my sister's and 7 minutes it was done! I took a picture of it and looked it up and bought this one immediately! Now this one gets HOT and does the job in minutes! So easy to use, it's pretty light weight, and straighten my hair with ease! Excellent product, I love it and highly recommend it!! It's worth the price!!

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.

I had the same hair iron for 12 years. When the old one finally broke, I decided to order it again. It works well and is easy to use. I dry my hair first, then divide it into sections and straighten my wavy hair in 15–20 minutes. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a durable, quality hair iron.

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.

I was looking for a new straightener -- simple, compact, and easy to use. It heats up quickly and glides like butter making my hair smooth and shiny. My hair straightens easily, but I have also used this to curl my hair and it holds nicely! It does NOT have a temperature dial- which isn't a problem for me as I usually keep it at the same setting, but something to consider if you prefer to be able to adjust. The on/off switch is on the inside which is nice as I've used some before that are on the outside and have accidentally turned it on/off before, but not a problem with this one! It's high quality, sturdy, travel-friendly, and feels like it'll last me a long time!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love it. It is old school but does its job. Ceramic is the way to go

This iron heats up fast. Design could be better. My hair gets stuck under the plates sometimes and pull quite a bit. Does a good enough job straightening but I have to do quite a view passes. I hate that there’s no heat control too. It does seem fairly durable though.
