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

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!

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!!

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.

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.

A pretty average straightener, as others have said it doesn't have a way to adjust temperature but its been fine for me personally...People have said it doesn't turn off automatically, which is true, but I've never expected any straightener to. My stove and oven doesn't turn itself off either....The cord is really long! Which can be annoying but also helpful in some situations....but all in all a good straightener. I just needed to replace mine that I had for over a decade that was a hand me down, and this does the trick!

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.

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.

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