Buying a Chi Hair Straightener

If you’re considering buying a Chi hair straightener you must congratulate yourself on making such a fine choice, Chi products regularly feature in annual best buy lists and they offer superb guarantees too. In this article I’m going to provide you with a little insight into these straighteners and provide you with some tips on how to go about choosing one. Finally I’ll end on some of the best suppliers to contact if you want to buy a Chi hair straightening iron.

Before I go any further I would like to point out that you can't buy a Chi hair iron in the UK or anywhere else outside the US, and there have been many complaints that these straighteners do not work overseas. For further information on the matter you can check out the manufacturer’s website.

The way in which you go about buying a Chi hair straightener is very much the same as any other straightener on the market, the first thing you need to do is assess your hair type. Whether you have thin or thick hair will determine the power level or more accurately the temperature level of the unit you need. Because it takes less power to heat a lower volume of hair you will require a straightener with a significantly lower temperature range than if you had long hair. As a general rule you need to purchase a unit which can heat to at least 170 degrees Celsius. What’s more, if you have shorter hair you won’t need as big plates as you would if you had long hair. A 1.5 inch plate should be used by people with long hair whilst a 1 inch plate will usually be more beneficial for shorter haired people.

You are advised to buy a Chi ceramic hair iron rather than one with alloyed plates. Alloyed plates aren’t as good for your hair as the ceramic ones; they conduct heat and tend to take out a lot of your hairs natural moisture which is key to having healthy looking hair. Ceramic hair straighteners are far more practical, because they radiate heat rather than conduct it, your hair retains all of its oils and moisture ensuring that it looks great, silky and smooth.
