Overview
CHI builds this flat iron around ceramic plates that float for an easy glide, with far infrared heating meant to calm frizz and static. A simple analog switch turns it on and off.
Straightening, curling and flipping all fall under the one tool the brand describes, and the ceramic surface is the reason it glides. The limit is control, since the switch is plain on and off and no temperature steps are listed.
Who it's for
A bathroom counter routine of straightening or flipping hair, from straight to curly, suits this iron. Those who want a digital display or a range of heat settings should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Ceramic plates and heater surface
- Floating plates for easy glide
- Far infrared heating
- Corded, so no battery to charge
- No adjustable heat settings listed
- Analog switch, no digital display
- Corded, needs an outlet
Performance notes
Ceramic plates spread heat across the hair as they pass, and the far infrared heating is described as a way to reduce frizz and static. Floating plates move with the hair thickness, so pressure varies less from root to tip. With one on and off switch, the result depends on how slowly the iron moves and how many passes are made.
