Our take on the CHI Air Classic Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron

The CHI Air Classic is a 1-inch tourmaline ceramic flat iron that also works as a curling iron. It heats in about 30 seconds, has multiple temperature settings up to 410°F, ionic technology, dual voltage and auto shut-off, and ships with a thermal mat. It is a mainstream, widely sold iron rather than a pro salon model, and its price tends to sit in the mid-range for 1-inch ceramic irons.

Questions and answers

Is the CHI Air Classic worth it?
For a 1-inch ceramic iron at a mid-range price, yes. It heats fast, adds shine and doubles as a curler. If you need 450°F for very thick hair, look at a higher-temperature model.
How is it different from the original CHI?
The Air Classic adds multiple adjustable heat settings and a thermal mat. The original CHI ran at a fixed high temperature, so the Air Classic gives more control for fine or color-treated hair.
What temperature does it reach?
It tops out at 410°F with multiple settings below that. That is enough for most hair types but below the 450°F some coarse or relaxed hair needs.
Can I use it on wet hair?
No. Dry your hair first; using a flat iron on wet hair can damage it and steam-burn your scalp.
Does it work abroad?
Yes, it has dual voltage, but you will still need a plug adapter for the country you visit.
What is in the box?
The flat iron and a thermal mat. No heat glove or travel pouch is included.
