Chi Hair Straighteners

Whether you’re a salon professional or a do-it-yourself home user, finding the best hair straightener can prove, well, hair-raising. Luckily, CHI straighteners, made by Farouk Systems, can take the guesswork out of your quest. The company, which is operated by a team of top hairdressers, sells some of the highest quality and best selling flat irons on the market today. Here, we review four of Farouk’s most popular and sought-after CHI hair straighteners that are not only durable, but will style your hair beautifully – in no time flat.

1. The CHI Turbo Ceramic Flat Iron Hair Straightener – which heats up evenly and instantly – has two-inch ceramic paddles with curved edges ideal not only for styling thick, curly hair but also for straightening, and achieving hair twists and flips. By utilizing ceramic paddles – rather than copper-plated paddles, which can damage and dry the hair – the Turbo allows moisture and infrared heat to protect the hair and seal in its color. The result is frizz-free, shiny hair.

In addition, the Turbo boasts both an extra-long, 360-degree, swiveling and tangle-resistant cord for ease of use, and an ergonomically-designed grip which allows for a comfortable hold. This iron is also an energy-saver, using only 20 to 25 watts of electricity but still managing temperature settings ranging from 175 to 356 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. The Farouk CHI GF1001 1” Ceramic Ionic Hair Straightener is great for straightening and curling hair, and even creating flips, waves and crimps. Like the Turbo, this tool features ceramic-coated paddles, which not only eliminate the possibility of burning the hair but also minimize any product build-up in the hair. The GF1001 also has a long, tangle-resistant swivel cord with 360-degree maneuverability for user friendliness.

This straightener's ionic technology utilizes negative rather than damaging positive ions, which promotes healthy hair. Able to heat up in less than ten seconds, the CHI GF1001’s temperature settings range from 302 to 356 degrees Fahrenheit, while a contoured grip and slim handle lets the user easily catch all sections of the hair.

3. The Farouk CHI GF1001N 1” Ceramic Hairstyling Iron with Nano Technology will no doubt make life easier for professional hair stylists. That's because this iron's Nano technology effectively obliterates any bacteria on the iron and in the hair. This technology – by eliminating germs – benefits hair stylists and their clients alike.

Like the Turbo and the GF1001, the GF1001N has ceramic plates that produce infrared heat and ionic emissions. The result? Less damage to the hair. The GF1001N also has a long, 360-degree swivel cord that resists tangling, along with a comfortable grip.

4. The Farouk CHI Pink GF1001P Limited Edition 1” Hair Straightener gives new meaning to the term ‘pretty in pink’. It features the same impressive technology as the Turbo, the GF1001 and the GF1001N but comes in a pretty pink hue. Its pink color is more than just a style statement, though: it represents Farouk CHI’s commitment to the fight against breast cancer, which donates a portion of the straightener’s sales to breast cancer research.

Like the Turbo, the GF1001 and the GF1001N, the Pink GF1001P is ceramic, has a 360-degree, tangle-free swivel cord and heats instantly. This tool is Ideal for fashioning straight looks, flips, curls and crimps. Pretty in pink, indeed.
