Product Details of Farouk CHI GF1001 1 Inch Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron Hair Straightener

Description

Chi Original 1" Farouk CHI Ceramic Flat Iron Model GF-1001 The CHI can be considered one of the most versatile Hairstyling Irons on the market today. The CHI's ergonomic design allows the user to flip hair up or curl it under with a twist of the wrist. The CHI is ideal for straightening and smoothing the hair while the ceramic plates seal in natural moisture. It's great to use prior to a Dry Haircut. The ceramic coated paddles help prevent scorching hair color and helps reduce styling product build-up. Featuring an extra long swivel cord to prevent tangling, the CHI has a concealed on-off switch inside the handle to prevent accidentally turning the unit off when in use. The heat paddles are recessed from the edges to prevent skin burns. Will automatically heat up in less than 10 seconds. Temperature is preset at 150-180 degrees Celsius(302-356 degrees Fahrenheit)

Farouk CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Hairstyling Iron

Strengths: fast heat time

Weakness: none

I really had a hard time in the beginning with jagged edges it left in my hair...it heats up so fast that you cannot hesitate when you roll your hair. But of course, like everything else, with practice it turned out to be a nice iron.

Really good straightener

Strengths: Fast, convenient, good quality

Weakness: No temperature control

I am very satisfied with this hair straightener. It works very well. It does not take a long time for it to heat up (less than 2 minutes). I have medium/shoulder lenght hair and it takes me 5-8 minutes to straighten. It saves me a lot of time in the morning. The hair stays straight for the whole day (more than 10 hours). This model is better than the others because the hair does not get struck in...

Amazing!!

Strengths: Super Fast, Super Straight

Weakness: Price

I don't actually own one, but I had to perform somewhere and we had to have our hair straight. So I used my straightener (from a clearance bin), put loads of product in it, and it took 20 minutes, plus a touch up in the morning. When I got to the performance, it was frizzy again! So someone used this CHI on my hair as a touch up that literally took less than a minute and it was fabulous! Straight...

If you need to tell people you use a CHI...

Strengths: You get to tell people you use a CHI !

Weakness: Price is too high. Quality is too low. Features? What features ????

This is rated very high on some sites. Since the warranty is only valid through salons, I can only think that the salons must be "stuffing the votes" on this item. It is basically your no-frills drug-store straightener that is being marked up dramatically somewhere along the line (salons?) It's a cord, a switch, and two heating elements in a cheap housing. For the price, the quality is low, it...

CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Iron Hair Straightener

Strengths: Heats up quickly

Weakness: Overrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read review after review that raved about how well this product worked before purchasing it. I was so completely sold and excited that I purchased two, one for my daughter and one for myself. I received them quite quickly to my surprise but at the first glide through our hair, immediately knew that it was highly overrated! Trust me, it works no better than other less expensive Flat Irons that...

Chi iron

Strengths: heats up fast

Weakness: none that I've found

I have owned the same Chi iron for several years and purchased this one for my daughter. We both love this straightener! It heats up very fast and not only straightens your hair but can make other styles as well.

Best flat iron...short life span

Strengths: quick hair styling; smooth silky hair

Weakness: short life span

Bought the original Chi in a salon for $150 in 2005 and it worked great. It suddenly "broke" down in May 2009 - maybe because forgot to unplug and turn off after three hours! I was heartbroken. It was the best flat iron ever! I heard others tell me their Chi stops working after so many years. Not bad I guess, but next time I'll buy one for much less money.

Hands Down! The Best Straightener Out There!

Strengths: Does a fantastic job of what it is intended for.

Weakness: Does not have a automatic shut-off.

I have owned a CHI for 3 years, used it almost every day, and have had no problems. This purchase was due to a recent trip to europe where my converter failed and literally melted the mechanism from the inside out. I purchased a replacement on Price Grabber while in Europe, so I would have one when I arrived home. Yes, it is literally something I use and need that much. It not only straightens my...
