CHI Spin N Curl

I have very thick, slightly wavy hair (see before and after pictures) and the CHI Spin N Curl makes styling so much faster and easier compared to traditional curling irons. The curls come out smooth and consistent, and it heats up quickly. Ive been using it for years and each time I’ve had another baby it has helped me get out of my slump of just wearing my hair up — I actually enjoy doing my hair again! The only thing is you need to figure out the right hair section size to avoid tangles, but once you get it, it’s a game-changer.

I really like this chi spin N curl. It's good quality so easy to use. It makes my hair look shiny & look and feel soft. It works well and doesn't take me near as long to curl my hair as with a normal curling iron. The button placement is perfect when you're holding it if your hair gets caught, you just push the bottom button for a second and it releases your hair. This is my second one because I left my first one at My Daughter's and they liked it so I let them keep it.

Short version: I LOVE this CHI curler! I'm selling the Dyson. Long version: I have Dyson Airwrap but never really liked it. It takes a long time to use, somehow some wispy hairs never make it properly around the barrel, and the barrel switching circus and timing are cumbersome. The hairdryer attachment somehow seems to make my fine hair look greasy fast, and I don't have use for any of the other attachments. But I spent crazy money on it so I really tried to like it, but mostly I just ended up skipping any curling. I recently decided to try curling again, so I bought this and the T3 hot roller set. The hot rollers burn my scalp but produce lovely voluminous waves and fullness at the root, so I'm going to keep them and use them for special occasions. But this CHI changed my daily hair game! I have very fine, shoulder length hair that has slight wave/loose curl naturally, especially in wet weather. The ends are damaged so they tend to hang straight, but they look much better and healthier with a little wave. I can now give my lenths loose wave/curl in 5 minutes flat! I hated switching the Dyson barrels, the whole switch operation and figuring out which barrel to use on which side was tedious. This device is so easy, I just place the curler in my hair and make sure the section I want to curl is placed in the "fork", and press the button that is further back/closer to the back of my head. The buttons are slightly raised and placed symmetrically, so I can press the correct button without even looking. It's easy and intuitive and blows the Dyson barrel circus out of the water. I also love the timer! I hated having to count in my head with the Dyson, trying to guess how much time has elapsed. I have the timer set at 15 seconds. I love the simple protocol. Place wand, press button, see hair disappear into the device, wait for the beep, release. No fiddling or counting, I'm free to daydream at the same time. Since my hair is very fine, I use the lowest temperature setting (180F) for the shortest time (15 seconds). It still gives me clear, well defined curls that are too tight for my liking, so I let them relax to have the style I like. I haven't tried it but I'm sure I could preserve the tight curls by using more styling products, pinning the curl up for a while, using hairspray etc. if I wanted to. If anything, the curl is almost too tight for my taste, so I ordered the 1.25 barrel too. I'm so excited to have beautiful hair every day now!

I recently decided to attempt to learn to curl my hair. I have naturally think and wavy hair, but wanted more definite in my curls. I bought several different types of curling irons, and this one has been the winner for me! I purchased a used one and have no issues with the quality of the machine, heat level, or packaging. So far I have tried 400f temp with a 17s hold. The 17s seems like a very long time (lol). I will try the 15s next. The curls held well and came out very defined. My hair does have some what of a “heat” smell too it, but that usual anytime I use heated items. The learning curve is pretty easy, I just followed the included directions. However, I did have an issue with the hair becoming tangled often and the iron needing to be reset. I suspect this is somewhat user error and I am using to thick of sections at a time or holding them too “tightly”. It may just be a me thing, but it was annoying. Overall, this curler works well and is easier to use than other options I have tried. The curls held well all day! Compared to a traditional iron, this curler is a clear winner!

I really like this curling iron! It’s very easy to use, especially if you’re not experienced with styling your hair. The rotating feature helps a lot and saves time. It creates nice, soft curls that last for hours without looking too tight or unnatural.

I researched this type of product, evaluating carefully what might be nice, and then bought this one. I want to say, I am TERRIBLE at fixing my own hair. I’ve had the same style for years and just straighten it. I bought this but was very skeptical I could do as nicely as the demo girls. Let’s just say, I am STUNNED! I can fix my hair with this. I now curl it several times a week and my hair gets COMPLIMENTS! Really! I had someone think I’d just left the salon the other day. If you are skeptical too, just buy it! It honestly works! The quality is great and the curls stay!

My 15 year old granddaughter loves to spin and curl her hair. She told me that it beeps to let you know if hair is tangled. Very easy to use. Has a automatic turn off feature.

Me encantó este producto es muy útil, de buena calidad y a buen precio y además es muy lindo!

Thought it would be a UK plug, it's some weird flat plug. The photo's show + sprays but no hair sprays given!!! I couldn't use the curler, soo sad! :(

This is simply amazing. I have thin, straight shoulder-length Asian hair that doesn't hold curls at all (I tried digital perm which was supposed to last between 3 - 6 months but which came undone for me at the end of two months) but with this beauty, heat protection spray and curl spray, I get WONDERFUL curls that still look all crisp and bouncy after two days. There's definitely a learning curve - at first, I tangled my hair a lot while curling it - but it took me only three uses to get the hang of it. I also want to mention that I bought this as a dupe for Dyson Airwrap but with the amazing result and completely hassle-free use, I don't think I'll ever get that $700 bulky styler! I've found that the 15s, 370F option works best for my hair. I haven't noticed any deterioration of my hair quality, but my hair does get a bit dry if I use it on the same sections repeatedly. So, make sure not to use it on hair that's too damp!

I love this product! Before I had this, curling my hair has been such a hassle. I burned my hands with the wand, the curls never held, it took forever and the back was challenging. I have lots of hair and this product works like a charm! It’s so quick, easy and I get compliments. It’s the first time I can do my hair so it looks like I left the salon. Game changer!

I just purchased this product recently, so this is an early review. I really like the curls it produces. However, I think users should beware of the temperature of the unit. I am in my 60s, and have light grey hair, which I have never coloured. At 410 degs heat, the curler has turned the ends of my hair (the bottom 4-5 inches) a light gold colour because it has singed it. There is no removing that gold tint now, because the hair has basically been damaged by the high heat. This would not have happened to darker hair, and may not have discoloured blond hair, but grey and white hair is at risk of turning a strange yellow/gold colour. Now I will have to wait for my hair to grow out before I can cut those damaged parts off.
