Attention: Ceramic Flat Iron Shoppers

Selecting the Perfect CHI Flat Iron is Easy Once You Know Which Straightener Works With Your Hair Type

The CHI Flat Iron is an amazing hair styling tool. Women all over rave about the fabulous results that you will be able to produce once you own one. But there is a small problem. Farouk, the makers of the CHI ceramic flat iron have quite a few models to choose from. 

Now, choice is always good, but too much choice or not knowing what to choose can be a problem. For example, CHI makes models ranging from 0.5" to 2". How do you know what size straightener you should get? There are 3 product lines as well. There is the Original series, the CHI Turbo and the CHI Nano. So which one is perfect for you? Some CHI hair straighteners have a fixed temperature and others have a variable temperature. Which one is the better choice?

There are a couple of factors you need to know about your own hair before you can decide which CHI flat iron is best for you. They are very easy but if you don't know about them you might end up picking the wrong model. Before you select the perfect flat iron, you need to know your hair length and what the condition of your hair is.

CHI Turbo Value Pack

  • You can get any of the above models in a Value Pack bundle. That means you will get the CHI straightener and a $20 heat pouch/mat for storing your CHI flat iron and to protect your counter. 



Regardless of the model or value pack you choose, here is a summary of the guidelines that you can use to pick the proper model for you.

1. Length of hair determines the thickness of the ceramic plates on your CHI flat iron
  • short hair can use a straightener that is 0.7" or 1" wide
  • long hair should use a flat iron that is 1.25" or 2" wide (the reason is that because thinner plates can lose their heat when styling long hair, which means poor results on the first pass, which leads to overstyling and eventual heat damage)
2. Hair Condition
  • thin, weak, fragile, damaged, bleached, etc hair is more likely to be damaged by heat exposure. This means you should always test at the lowest temperature setting possible. That means you need a hair straightener that provides a variable heat setting
  • normal, coase, thick, ethnic, etc hair is more likely to need higher temperatures to style well. This means that you can either use fixed temperature or variable temperature flat irons
