Farouk CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Hairstyling Iron

I bought this because the one my daughter has works so well. This one works ok but it doesn't feel as solid as hers which is the same model. The hinge is loose and slides side to side when using it. I almost feel it may have been refurbished. It straightens my hair, but I think it lacks top quality.

I had tried to order many other chi irons from different vendors and this was soo easy! They didnt lie or cheat you out of anything and everything that they said was true and the product was brand new unlike a few other places i tried before!

I bought a Farouk CHI 1 inch ceramic flat hairstyling iron a little over a year ago from Amazon.com. I use this iron almost every day and I absolutely love it! Farouk flat irons are a higher end model for hairstyling devices so they can be pretty expensive, sometimes running as high as $200! But, I found a more affordable one online at Amazon. When originally looking for a high quality flat iron, I soon learned that Farouk flat irons are one of the best brands in the market! Through my search, I learned quickly that Farouk's flat irons are used at most beauty salons and have earned them an impressive reputation. Through my use, I have noticed that they are extremely durable hairstyling devices. I have dropped my flat iron several times and it has always avoided damage. Also, I have accidently left my flat iron on for several hours without it becoming damaged or anything near it. But, it is not due to human error why Farouk's have a great reputation. Farouk have earned a high reputation because the irons have a ceramic coating which prevents extreme heat from damaging the hair, which is great since most women straighten their hair almost every day! Also, this iron takes only one time to flatten a section of hair. This is unlike most other hairstyling devices because usually it takes three to four times to straighten a section. This can be extremely damaging to the hair due to the repeated heat. When using the Farouk flat iron, I recommend using the Farouk Heat Protection Spray which coats the hair with a protective agent. I have a noticed a significant difference in the amount of damage since using the spray with this flat iron! My only complaint is with amazon.com, the flat iron was originally to be mailed within a few days but instead took several weeks.

I always went to the salon named Bubbles where I lived and always left happy with long straight hair and a fresh new haircut. My old straightening iron did NO justice against this beautiful Chi iron. It takes not much time at all to do your hair and leaves it beautifully straight for days (might get a little wave here and there but its an easy fix). I love this straightening iron with all my heart and can't live without it!

i've always wanted a chi but could never find one at an affordable price. i decided to get one because i've gone through like 5 different flat irons and they just DON'T work!!!! this straightener is AMAZING and I LOVE IT! definitely a must have! :)
