I am by no means a hairstyling guru, but this product is easy and comfortable to use. It is quite large in size, complete with a comfort grip handle, so I don't expect those who travel lightly like I do to be packing it along for excursions. The temperature control is a definite asset, and ranges from 200-400 F. I typically set my iron to 400 F, a temperature reached in about two to three minutes -- no complaints! The tool maintains its heat evenly so that curls are uniform. I haven't encountered any problems with heat damage to my hair, either, although I do not curl my hair more than twice weekly. The one problem I do face when using this CHI curling iron is that the results do not last terribly long -- usually not more than six to eight hours (and consequently not overnight).

Holds a curl - not on your life. I bought this because my other 1 1/2" curling iron is starting to give up. The clip no longer "clips" which makes it the entire process take longer than it should. I was willing to spend a bit more on a curling iron for a better quality experience. And this just doesn't deliver. After about an hour, the curl is gone - completely gone. I've performed my own little experiment: one day the old curling iron, the next day the CHI. It's the CHI. I've used the highest heat setting, held the hair on the barrel until there's even a bit of discomforting smoke. Nothing. Don't buy this item. |
