Our take on the CHI Original 1-Inch Ceramic Hair Straightener Flat Iron

The CHI Original is the flat iron that built the brand's reputation: a single 1-inch ceramic-plated iron with a fixed 392°F heat setting and a simple on/off switch. It straightens, flips and curls, and its swivel cord and 60-minute auto shut-off make it easy to handle. It suits people who want one dependable tool without digital controls or heat settings. Against newer irons with adjustable temperature and ionic features, it is basic, but owners praise its glide and lasting results.
