Generally, the Farouk chi ceramic flat iron fares well in customer reviews. Users praise the product for its ease of use, simple design and quick results. Many women report that the chi iron dramatically reduces the time they need to spend styling their hair. For those who have particularly dry, coarse, thick hair, and do not want to leave the house in the morning before doing something to make it more smooth and glossy, the timesaving feature is a real plus. Nobody wants to spend hours styling their hair every single day. Modern hair appliances should make it quick and easy to create the look you want.
The majority of users report that their hair, whether straight or curled with the chi iron, holds the style all day long. Different models and colors are available, including hot pink, black and gold. A specially designed breast cancer awareness edition is available. Models range from 0.5 inches to 2 inches wide; the slimmest model is ideal for very short hair and men while the wider one is best suited to particularly long or thick hair. Like all quality flat irons, the chi will reduce frizz, eliminate static and create a variety of styles including waves, curls and a completely poker-straight finish.
It is worth pointing out that the basic chi ceramic flat iron model does not have certain features that other comparable flat irons have. There is no automatic shut off and no temperature control. This tends to be reflected in the price; the chi ceramic hair straightener is one of the more affordable of the so-called "designer" irons (rather than the cheap, $40 models). If you are not interested in any additional features, however, the absence of these extras will not affect your overall chi experience. No automatic shut off means you simply have to be more vigilant when you are using the appliance and make sure you do not forget to turn it off when you have finished using it. Although the lack of temperature control does mean that the iron can seem extremely hot, there are special heat-protection products you can apply to your hair before using it to prevent damaging the follicles. If it is important to you that your iron has a temperature control and an automatic shut off, go for the chi turbo digital iron, which has these features and also styles the hair quickly and easily.
Average prices for the chi irons range from around $100 to $300, but many online retailers offer highly discounted models, meaning you can get a bargain if you look for it.
