Our verdict

A compact flat iron for travelers who want a full heat range and a heat protectant in one box. Plate length and cord details are not listed, so it is hard to judge against a full-size iron.

Overview

CHI pairs its Lava MiniStyler flat iron with a small bottle of its iron guard spray in this gift duo. The ceramic plates heat across a narrow high range, and a twist lock under the base holds the iron shut for packing.

Dual voltage and a locking design make it a ready travel iron, and the included heat protectant covers the first step. The minimum heat is fairly high, so very fine or fragile hair has no low setting to fall back on.

Who it's for

People who straighten on the road, including abroad, will find it easy to pack. Those who style fine hair at gentle heat should look for an iron with a lower floor.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Dual voltage for travel
  • Locks closed for packing
  • Heat protectant included
  • Color fade protection claim
Cons
  • No low heat setting
  • Cord length not listed
  • Warranty not stated

Performance notes

Plate temperature and pass speed govern the result: fluid single passes through small sections give the smoothest finish. The ceramic surface spreads heat evenly, and the guard spray sets a barrier before the plates touch the hair.
