- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024My dad has an Afro and my mom has straight hair, so I have a balance of both, being very wavy too extremely curly on any given day.
This thing works great, even with very thick hair!
I am shock as I’ve always used larger plates on hair straighteners I have purchased in the past. I was a little hesitant because I was reading the reviews and some of them were saying that it’s a fake item or that the cord gets tangled easily. The product works great for hair, straightening as well as curling. I’ve never been able to curl my hair with a hair straightener, EVER! I looked up a YouTube tutorial of how to do it with a 1 inch plate, like this item has, and as I followed the tutorial, it was super easy to achieve the perfect curl, and I was literally gasping in the mirror as the curl dropped. 360° swivel cord makes curling super easy! I don’t think it’s necessary to buy a heat glove, since the tips of this hair straightener definitely do get hot, the 360° swivel cord makes it so you can just turn the hair straightener with your right or left hand without using both to achieve the perfect curl.
Totally recommend this product even if you have very thick hair! My hair is also colored and I use product in my hair and I didn’t notice anything on the plates after I was done. Once it cooled down, I did wipe down the plates with some vinegar, just to make sure that I’m not leaving product on the plates themselves. I had to get a new hair straightener, which is why I purchased this one, because I didn’t clean the last one good enough and my hair always smell burnt. There is only one heat setting ~ Which in this case is not a bad thing. I believe it said it would goes up to 375°, my other one had a couple different temperature settings the maximum 450 or 475°. Even with very thick hair straightener heats up to the amount that I need for my hair to become straighten, smooth or curly and smooth.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2024This flat iron is a classic for a reason – it just works. It heats up quickly (in under a minute), glides smoothly over my hair, and leaves it sleek without frying it. I’ve had less breakage since switching to this.
Pros:
• Fast heat-up time
• Smooth, shiny finish without snagging
• Sturdy and feels like it will last for years
Cons:
• No adjustable temperature – it’s one heat fits all
• Basic design (no digital display or fancy features)
If you want a simple, reliable flat iron that does the job well, this is it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025It gets extremely hot which is good especially for my curly hair, I’ve tried plenty of other flat irons and this is the only one that leaves my hair looking shiny and in a good way.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024CHI is a good, dependable brand and their products reflect that. This flat iron does have some downsides-not being able to see the heat that it's at and no way to adjust it is a big one-but for it's price, it makes up with quality. The heated ceramic plates don't pull on the hair and leaves it smooth and straight. I'd recommend this if you're on a budget.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2025I will only buy Chi flat irons. They are legit products and last a long time. The one inch plates are perfect for how I style my hair. They glide smoothly through my hair and never get tangled or knot up my hair. At first I wasn’t sure I’d like this one because of not being able to adjust the temperature, but it’s actually perfect for my texture.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024As a mom of three daughters, I can confidently say that the CHI Original Ceramic Flat Iron is a lifesaver in our household! The importance of a good straightener cannot be overstated—it can truly make or break our day. I’ve purchased many less expensive brands over the years, but they never work as well or last as long as this CHI flat iron. It heats up quickly, glides smoothly through hair without snagging, and delivers a sleek, professional finish every time.
With three daughters, we deal with a variety of hair textures, and this flat iron works beautifully on all of them. Whether we’re smoothing out thick, wavy hair or taming flyaways on fine hair, it gets the job done.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2024Only one temperature? Weird. Cord is super long and stiff material. I had to curl it up and tie it so isn’t all over the floor. Appears cheaply made. It straightens your hair, that’s all. I don’t understand the good ratings.

4.0 out of 5 stars One heat level only
I really enjoy this flat iron. Gets the job done. I wish it had different heat levels to choose from. Sometimes my hair will also catch in the plates at the top. However, I’ve never had one that didn’t do that. Love that it has a long chord on it and I’ve had stylists suggest this brand as well!!
