Product reviews of CHI 1" Original Ceramic Style Flat Iron by Farouk
Review: Really great product
Beauty product: 5 Stars
My hair isn't really curly or anything, sometimes it's dead straight. But when I have a few kinks and waves, it takes about 3 minutes to straighten out with this straightener. I love it! Review: Simple to use styling product!

The shipment arrived very quickly! And as soon as it arrived the CHI was put to use and I have to say I was completely satisfied with the results! This Iron which comes with pre-heated settings which takes the trouble of possibly damaging your hair by burning which sometimes happens if you adjust the heat settings too high on a self-adjusted iron. Thanks to this handy little setting, daily use of this iron won't damage your hair as other irons seem to do with excessive use. Due to it's size (I purchased the 1in Iron) it can take a while to straighten your hair if you have long hair like me, but due to its size it's actually the perfect tool for doing the top of your head which can be impossible to do or even reach if you're using wide-plates. It leaves your hair feeling soft and warm which is perfect for the winter months and it also leaves it natural looking as if you had gone to a salon to get your hair blow-dried. I must admit it does not leave your hair sleek and dead straight, so if this is the effect and style you were going for you may actually want to look into Remington styling products instead. However, I am a very satisfied customer and I can see myself possibly making another CHI purchase sometime in the future! Review: Stopped working after two days

This is one of the poorest products we have ever purchased on Amazon. We purchased it for my daughter's birthday. It worked great for two days then just stopped. It will not turn on. I suspect it's a knock off. I tried e-mailing the supplier - DiscountsJungle - and no response. So now I have to try to figure out how to get a refund. What a pain. Don't waste your time with this or with DiscountsJungle, they are both a big disappointment. Review: The love of my life...

What would i ever do without my CHI??? Ive had this straightening iron for almost 6 yrs now.. it has never failed me. I drop it pretty constantly and the only damage i think i have caused is that the light that tells you its on doesnt always come on when i flip the switch. this appears to be a problem with the power cord because i wiggle it a bit at the base of the iron and the light comes on. Again- its 7 yrs old and i am not all that gentle.
Pros: the plate is ceramic all the way through- unlike cheap irons that say they are ceramic but the plates are not 100% ceramic. This makes a big difference because cheaper plates do not heat evenly and can actually end up burning your hair :( also, the 1" plate is really versatile- you can curl your hair with it if you needed to since it is so thin, but on the downside if you have long hair it takes a bit longer. Ok
Cons: There is no temperature adjustment.. thats basically it.
So Yes i recommend this Iron if you want a good plain old ceramic iron- but, 6 yrs later there is better technology available and my next iron will be either titanium or tourmaline with variable temperature settings.. i love my chi... but tourmaline ceramic plates promise a shiny healthier finish that every girl wants :)
Review: Very happy with this iron

I've never owned a Chi prior to this one, but it is identical to what is sold at a well known beauty supply store. It heats up almost instantly. I use it on dry hair, divided into sections then iron 1" at a time. With my Goldplate & my Conair, I'd have to iron at least twice. With the Chi I only have to iron once. My son uses it and his hair looks ironed even after washing it. My straightend hair usually has to be protected against light rain + humidity, but when I use this iron my hair does not curl or frizz up.
