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

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!

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.

Chi is an amazing brand and this lived up to its reputation. It straightens my hair quickly and without damage. It heats up fast and has setting dial that allows you to control the temperature. I’m able to turn the heat down for hair that is less stubborn and up for the hair that really takes more effort to get straight.

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.

absolutely love would never get a different straightener!perfect to also curl my hair. It’s the perfect width. the cord is super long which isnt needed but its nice incase!

Absolutely love this product...my hair look like a professional did it...

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.

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.
