CHI Original Pro Ceramic Ionic Tourmaline

Here we go with an honest review of the CHI original pro ceramic ionic tourmaline.

First let me say, that is one long name for a flat iron. It also happens to be the flat iron I used for most of my middle school and beginning of my high school career. That being said, it was a pretty great starting off flat iron. I may or may not have burned my ear quite a few times and hooked my earring burning my ear thoroughly in the process. No fault of the CHI original pro ceramic ionic tourmaline though… (That is seriously one very long name for a beauty product).

CHI Original Pro Ceramic Flat Iron—1″ Plate

It is not easy to find a concrete product description of the CHI original pro because it came out so long ago which means a lot of sites have taken it down. But I will try my best to give you the best product description. Hopefully, it will feel like it is in your hands.

The CHI original pro is a classic tourmaline ceramic hair straightener. The CHI was able to combine these two tourmaline ceramic plates to give you even heat distribution. This means that the heat distribution is only going to be hot all the way across the ceramic plates. Not understanding what I am saying? Well, that it will evenly heat your hair as long as you evenly iron your hair. It is a process. The fancy words most descriptions use this iron is something to do with lots of negative ions and static electricity for luxurious hair.

The CHI original pro is the one you will probably see in local hair salons. It can style your hair in anyway you need it to. We’re talking spirals, waves, flips, and just regular old smooth straight hair. It will be able to get rid of those pesky fly aways and reduce your frizz.

There is also a two-year warranty. Good stuff right there.

The Good

The CHI original pro didn’t just come out with a bang for no reason a couple of years back. This straightener was doing the job right before tons of other brands had come out with their own. Making this straightener one of the best for its price, size, and weight. It is also the perfect travel flat iron for when you are on the go. It will fit perfectly into any of your bags.

This flat iron will provide you with big curls, beautiful waves, silky smooth straight hair, and shine that will last until your next shower.

Don’t forget the two year warranty in case it has any internal errors or problems.

The Bad

New hair straighteners have been coming out every day for years now. Which means that there are better flat irons out there and more coming every month this year. The CHI original pro ceramic ionic tourmaline doesn’t get hot enough for kinky hair to get straightened properly. The 1” ceramic plates aren’t big enough to straighten long hair quickly, and especially not thick or coarse hair. It is time-consuming, will most likely burn your head, as well as your hands while you’re holding it because the ceramic plates get so hot. The plates getting hot doesn’t mean it will heat your hair evenly and most of the heat goes through the outside of the straightener instead of smoothing your hair down.

The Ugly

The cold hard truth is that there are better straighteners out there for less money and more money. There are flat irons that are going to rock your world if you are willing to spend the money. My feelings about the CHI original pro ceramic ionic tourmaline are for the most part positive. It straighteners your hair the way you need it to and will also burn the crap out of you if you stop paying attention. It is everything you can expect from a decent straightener. Because it is a 1” plate, you are going to struggle quite a bit if you have shorter hair or baby hair that are just causing you trouble. Prepare to have little burns on your head, ears, and neck because this iron is a little too big for that.

For college, for high school, even for middle school this straightener will get the job done on medium and long hair of all hair types. Although if you have super kinky hair then I would pick a hair straightener that is a lot hotter.

Where To Find It & Cost

Ulta Beauty $59

One of my favorite beauty stores and where I initially found the CHI original pro. Besides the hundreds of kiosks that were selling them throughout the mall.

Walmart $57

They will be your cheapest guarantee for getting this product at the lowest price. Online stores can provide you with more affordable prices, but there isn’t necessarily a guarantee you will get the right product with them.

Amazon $60

There have been a lot of reviews that Amazon isn’t providing the correct product and they send you a knock off. But there are also plenty of reviews that will tell you the product was perfect and there was nothing wrong with it.

eBay $40 – $80

eBay has everything. But it is usually used… There are a few out there that are the original product though.

Our Official Star Rating: 4.3 out of 5

Best Hair Straightener For Every Budget

best hair straightener brand

We are offering you the best hair straightener brand for your money. And some of the worst hair straighteners… But, with quality comes expense. That being said, we are also going to tell you about how to get your money’s worth from the best straightener. Oh! And where to buy them on the internet! I know, fantastic, right?

best hair straightener brandBest Hair Straightener For Every Budget

Let’s start off with the most expensive and the best hair straightener brand first. Out of all the hair straightener brands I have tried, I must admit I have never tried one that is worth more than 100 dollars. Needless to say, I was so excited to try this hair straightener to see how magical it could truly be on my hair and I was not disappointed.

Coming in at best and the most expensive we have the lovely GHD White Platinum Styler. It costs approximately $215, although when I was looking for it, it was in English pounds. It is by far the best hair straightener!

This lovely straightener can be purchased on Look Fantastic. There are a lot of hair straighteners, which after you use the flat iron, your hair is left looking dead and limp… Well, at least that’s what happens with mine. But this hair straightener brand will leave your hair looking like you just got your hair done by a beauty professional. I am talking, full blown blowout hairstyle and that beautiful silky shine.

If you have no idea about your hair type and want to have the best-looking hair, then the GHD is the hair straightener brand for you.

For extra information on this; product description, customer reviews, details, etc. click here.

We’re Happy, But It Is Only Kinda Worth the Price

And at the second place of the both expensive and worth it category, is the Braun Satin Hair 7 ST780 SensoCare Straighteners. I was beyond excited to get my hands on this straightener for the first time… But I knew it wasn’t going to be as good as the most expensive one. I mean money almost always equals quality, so the more money you spend, the better your hair is going to feel and last. After using the Braun Satin Hair, my hair did feel like satin but not as beautiful as the GHD above. If I am not being picky, then the Braun Satin will do the trick and still make you look like a queen when you go out to work, the club, coffee with friends…

This hair straightener brand sells their products on Amazon at approximately $82. You can find them elsewhere for cheaper or more expensive, but Amazon guarantees quality delivery. Realistically, $82 is a pretty good deal for the quality you get.

I recommend this one if you don’t have the money to buy the expensive one but, still straighten your hair every day.

If you would like to read more product details, descriptions, and reviews, there are plenty on Amazon and other websites to reassure your choice.

Getting Your Money’s Worth From the Best Hair Straightener Brand

There have been a lot of mixed reviews about the Toni & Guy brand. That being said, this particular brand is worth it for the money you paid.  It makes the list of Best Hair Straightener For Every Budget. And even better, for any gender, any length or hair, any hair. Here we are at number three, the Toni & Guy Style Fix Straighteners. These little beauties are priced at about $40 and can be found on their website which is linked above (Toni & Guy) or at Boots. Which is a relatively cheap international online store.

best and after straighteningI found this straightener to be lightweight in my hands, and I liked that the plates were blue. I am so used to black, silver, and that weird ugly yellow that lets you know when you have been using hairspray. You know the little burn lines on the iron because it is too hot? Anyways, this straightener took me about 20 minutes to do my whole head and have beautifully straight hair. I have shoulder length hair, super wavy/kinda curly, and brunette. I got to keep my volume from my naturally wavy hair but, it was still beautiful straight and luxurious looking.

There are plenty of YouTube videos out there and reviews of this hair straightener if what I have to tell you isn’t enough.

Umm,… No Thank You

Arriving at our first, but not last, of the not-so-good and probably-not-worth-the-money hair straighteners, is the Cloud Nine Original Iron. It is set at a price of about $170, which is asking a lot for a brand that doesn’t make your hair silky smooth. But if you are interested in this hair straightener, and just blowing cash, you can purchase it at Cloud Nine Hair. I am sure you are wondering why I am saying this about a hair straightener brand. Aren’t all straighteners the same? I mean they flatten your hair. What more could you want from it?

Well what I want, if I am spending $170, is my hair to be laced with gold, silky smooth, and anything equivalent to looking like a goddess. But Cloud Nine has left me feeling like I am not on Cloud Nine. It feels like I am still on Earth. It straightened my hair just fine, but it didn’t give my hair the life it truly needed.

However, there are positive reviews out there of Cloud Nine, and hey maybe it will work for you. Feel free to check out the reviews on either of the links above.

Don’t Even Try These Hair Straighteners…

Any hair straightener brand that you can purchase for about $20 bucks at your local convenience store or supermarket. Yeah, those. I am going to have to ask you not to buy. I mean it isn’t even a cheap one from a beauty store. For example, Conair is the one at all your local stores, and it is cheap. Maybe buy this for your 12-year-old daughter who is just starting to play with her hair.

Don’t get this for yourself though. You are a grown woman who deserves better. Make the extra effort for yourself, pay the little extra for your hair. I remember using a Conair straightener in middle school and then immediately moving on to the CHI hair straightener brand in high school. Which the CHI brand, I must admit, is not bad but after trying some of these other brands… Wow. I hope you enjoyed our thoughts on Best Hair Straightener For Every Budget.

You can find the Conair at Walgreens or Walmart for about $20 to $30. And if you are more instead in the CHI flat iron, then you can purchase that on Amazon or Ulta Beauty.

Review of LumaBella Keratin Dual Touch Hair Straightener

The latest product from Luma Bella is the Dual Touch Hair Straightener with a flat iron, 1-inch hair straightener. And it is, by all means, one of the best and advanced products from the company. Luma Bella has been in the cosmetics business for quite some time now and has a reputation of being a manufacturer of quality goods. And their latest hair straightener is no exception. The features on the dual touch hair straightener take it from being just another hair straighter to a world class product. The following are some of its features that make it stand apart from the rest of them.
The problem with some hair straighteners is that the heat from it can damage the hair, if not used properly. With the dual touch hair straightener, this is not an issue. This is because of the advancements in ceramics and heat level sensors. This product has what’s known as keratin infused ceramics that protect the hair from overheating and related damage. The keratin-infused ceramics also does an amazing job of gripping the hair correctly.
No matter how hard you grip the hair it will glide smoothly without pulling the hair or do any sort of damage. The micro conditioner will not leave an oily residue like with other hair straightening products. The result is a hair straightener that not only healthier for your hair, but easier to use and create the kind of finish you want. From wavy hair to more curly hair, whatever is your style it is all in a day’s work for dual touch hair straightener.
Apart from better heat control, the size of the ceramic plate is ideal for doing different hair styles. Not only that, the dual touch hair straightener also uses a patented technology known as the “floating” plates. What makes this technology special is that no matter how the user holds it, it will adjust the way it grips the hair. This means even a novice who has never used a hair straightener before, will find it easy to operate. No more twisting and turning and doing fancy calisthenics to get that perfect wave or curl you have been working on. With this technology, you can say goodbye to your curling iron once and for all.
It’s all About the Heat
There are five heat setting options on the dual touch hair straightener. It starts from 300-degrees Fahrenheit and goes all the way to 450 degrees. The heat itself happens very quickly. For most heat settings, you can expect it to reach its peak in about 30 seconds. With this product, there will be no more waiting around for a long time in between jobs, waiting for it to heat up again. Efficient and quick styling is the name of the game with this straightener. And when you are done with using it and forget to turn it off, no problem, the auto switch off feature will take care of that. No more worrying whether you remembered to turn it off after leaving the house.
The heat function also comes with a turbo boost. If you need instant heat then with a press of a button it will reach the heat setting almost instantaneously. Highly useful for those of you who have thick hair that is difficult to tame. However, the heat setting should be used carefully, because even with all this technology it is up to the user to use the proper heat settings. For example, the lowest setting of 300F is recommended for fine hair, 340F for treated hair and 450F for thick and coarse hair.
It’s also important to start off with lower heat settings, no matter what type of hair you have. The hair should be completely dry when using the Dual Touch Hair Straightener. However, the intelligent heat sensor can detect wet patches and the heat will reduce automatically. This feature is highly useful when dealing with those dry ends on the hair. And also for folks who live in humid climates, where it’s difficult to keep the hair dry. If you were using an ordinary straightener you risk damaging the hair. But not with Dual touch hair Straightener. The heat sensing technology will give perfectly straight hair every time. You can use hair products such as oils and other styling products before using the straightener. This straightener also comes with a lengthy swivel cord; very useful when the closest plug point is located a little too far away.The bottom line is that the Luma Bella Dual Touch Hair Straightener has all the possible features you need to make things a lot easier and safer. The product itself has a sleek and space-age look to it. Luma Bella also offers a four-year warranty for this product, which is proof of their confidence in the quality of the product.
