CHI flat irons

CHI flat irons are a very popular choice of hair straightener. The Farouk CHI flat iron was the first to have ceramic plates, making it a best seller. But are today’s CHI flat irons any good or have they been eclipsed by other brands of flat iron?

You can still buy the original CHI ceramic flat iron. It’s the cheapest model in the CHI range and falls into the medium priced category for flat irons. It comes with 1″ ceramic plates, heats in seconds and is still a very good hair styling tool. But if you’re thinking of buying a CHI flat iron then you might be best to buy a Farouk CHI Turbo flat iron. CHI Turbo flat irons come in 3 different plates sizes; 0.75″, 1″ and 2″. Choosing what size is best for you depends on your type of hair. Generally, the shorter or thinner your hair the narrower the plate size. Conversely, if you have long or coarse hair, then you’re best using a wider plate. The company claims that the ceramic used in the plates of their flat iron are made from NASA tested ceramic – though I’m not quite sure what this actually means. What follows are the pros and cons of the Farouk CHI Turbo flat iron.

What is good about the CHI Turbo flat iron?

CHI flat irons come with a 10 foot swivel cord. This may seem like a minor point, but many other flat irons come with only 8 feet of cord – and not all are swivel cords. Having that extra couple of feet can make using the CHI flat iron really easy, especially when reaching behind to straightening hair at the back.

The CHI Turbo hair straightener comes with a circuit break for safety.

The Turbo CHI only uses 20-25 watts of electricity; reducing your bills as well as the planet.

The CHI Turbo has one of the fastest heat-up times; just a few seconds.

CHI flat irons have nicely designed handles that are easy to grip. They are also light weight.
