Farouk CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Hairstyling Iron

I got this product a few years ago at the advice of my good friend who is a hairstylist. Sure, it worked great...until my hair started to get damaged from it. There are no temperature settings, and it gets incredibly hot. Plus, it breaks easily if and when you drop it (one of the plates came off in my case). I really hate that there is no automatic shut-off on this iron, especially since I am quite OCD, and have had to come back home several times just to make sure that I unplugged the unit. I'm sure there are better flat irons out there that have these features and are better quality.

I would give it 10 STARS if I could! I can't believe how smooth, shiny and silky my hair is after using this product. The iron gets hot in 10 seconds and it's very easy to use even on your own hair! I can't say enough of this product. It's worth every penny of it. Great price on Amazon!

Great product. I have had cheaper straighteners and they worked but the Chi is so much better.

My friend has the exact flat iron and it gets much hotter than mine. She purchased her directly from a salon, so I think there is something wrong with the one I purchased online.

I have been using straighteners for awhile. Started with regular drugstore brands and finally bought a 2 inch chi turbo (purchased online). I've had the 2 inch chi turbo for over a year, and I still am very satisfied with it. Recently I had a short haircut, so decided to get a chi 1 inch. Initially I ordered the regular chi 1 inch. After receiving it and trying it a few time, I was pretty dissatisfied. The flat iron feels very cheaply made, the light flickers, the handle bars feel flimsy. I took out the turbo and compared the two closely. Turns out the regular chi is made in China vs. the Turbo version is made in Korea. All in all, I returned the chi 1 inch, and ended up finding a turbo chi 1 inch at Target. I would definitely recommend the turbo version, the quality is just different.
