Our verdict

A precise ceramic flat iron that is listed among crimpers but makes no crimped texture. Shoppers chasing zigzag waves need a dedicated crimping iron instead.

Overview

CHI built this hairstyling iron around ceramic plates and a digital display, and despite its listing it presses hair smooth rather than crimping it. Beveled edges let the same plates curl or wave as well as straighten.

Digital temperature bands for fine, medium and coarse hair make it easy to style without overheating thin strands. The heat protectant spray named in the title is not confirmed anywhere else in the listing, so do not count on it arriving.

Who it's for

Mixed-texture households get adjustable heat for fine and coarse hair in one tool, with dual voltage for trips. Those wanting crimped, ridged texture will be disappointed by smooth plates.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Temperature bands guided by hair type
  • Fast heat up
  • Auto shut-off and temperature lock
  • Floating plates glide smoothly
Cons
  • Smooth plates, no crimped texture
  • Iron guard spray named only in the title

Performance notes

Results depend on matching plate temperature to hair texture, which the digital display and lock make repeatable from one session to the next. Floating plates flex to hold even pressure on the section, and beveled edges let the iron rotate for curls and waves without creasing.
