Author's Review
OK guys, I know this is kind of cliche, but the CHI 1" True Ceramic Hair Straightener really does work wonders! I've had mine for a little over a year and it still amazes me to this day how b-e-a-utiful my hair can be!
As the youngest of six sisters, I was introduced to the world of hair straightening at a very young age. I do believe I've seen it all.. From chemically damaging -i mean! ..straightening, to laying down on the floor, towel under head, and the assistance of a fellow sister repeatedly running the flat iron over the same chunk of hair, hoping to straighten out the kinks and curls, now there's an easier, not to mention safer way to straighten hair.
FAST 'N EASY!
Growing up with six girls in the house, you can imagine how many beauty products filled the bathroom and let me tell you, I don't remember anything working as well as the CHI 1" True Ceramic Hair Straightener.
I've become quite familiar with straightening my hair and it still takes me about half an hour to do. With the CHI, I can give my hair the do none of my other hair products can in ten minutes! That's less than half the time it used to take me! Since I'm a girl with a head full of long, curly, and, at times, unmanageable hair, I'd say that was amazing. I can only imagine how much easier it would be for someone with less frizz!
The thing is is that you don't have to sit there and run the iron five or six times through until it's straight. One to two strokes is all it takes. It really depends on the look you want. For example, if I want my hair pin-straight, I'll run it once or twice, slowly through my hair. If I want it semi-straight with a little bit of volume, I'll quickly run it down once, cutting my time even shorter and still getting the look I love!
DAMAGE FREE
Don't get me wrong, I completely love my natural curls. I just like changing it up every once in a while. That's why one of the most awesome things about the CHI 1" True Ceramic Hair Straightener is that it's made of ceramic plates and coils that keeps the moisture in and protects your hair from serious damage. You know what that means! At the end of the day when I wash my hair out, it keeps my hair from losing its curl and it doesn't dry it out like most other hair straighteners. That's why when you use the CHI, your hair still feels soft and looks shiny, giving it a more natural look.
VERSATILE
You'd think that because it's a hair straightener, it'd be directed toward those with non-straight hair, but that's the beauty of it! The CHI 1" True Ceramic Hair Straightener is so versatile, it not only straightens but can also curl and flip your hair as well! One of my very best friends, Keala, has the straightest, thinnest hair you could possibly imagine. Before we go out, she'll run in my bathroom, flip the ends of her hair (you do this by turning the CHI out or inwards at the ends of your hair), and three minutes later we'll be out the door.
FLASH HEATING
With the flash heating, the CHI heats from zero to 370 degrees within seconds! It's a big time saver compared to my previous straighteners which literally took minutes to heat up. This really comes in handy when you accidentally sleep-in Monday morning and you only have 15 minutes to get ready for your MATH 1050 class. TRUST ME!!
At this point you're probably thinking it must take up a lot of electricity to heat up that fast; that's where you're wrong. The CHI actually saves energy by using only 35 watts of electricity. That's less than your microwave oven which uses approximately 1,500 watts of electricity.
HEAT PROOF POUCH/MAT
Accompanied with the CHI 1" True Ceramic Hair Straightener is its very own pouch/mat. Because it's heat proof, you can put the CHI down without leaving burn marks on your carpet. You also don't have to wait for it to cool down (which doesn't take long either). When you're done using the CHI you can just slide it back into the pouch and back into the bathroom drawer! It's as easy as that!
It's true I've heard a few people complain about their CHI not working after a couple of months, but i beg to differ. I've had mine for a little over a year now and it's still kickin'! If you don't believe me, get a CHI 1" True Ceramic Hair Straightener of your own and see for yourself! I bought mine online and it was cheaper than what some of my other friends bought theirs for, but in the end we all agreed that it really does work wonders!
