Use what the professionals around the world and at Gallery Hair in Scarborough, Maine, use! This is an original Chi by Farouk Ceramic Flat Iron Model GF-1001. The CHI can be considered one of the most versatile Hairstyling Irons on the market today. The CHI's ergonomic design allows the user to flip hair up or curl it under with a twist of the wrist. The CHI is ideal for straightening and smoothing the hair while the ceramic plates seal in natural moisture. The ceramic coated paddles help prevent scorching hair color and helps reduce styling product build-up. Featuring an extra long swivel cord to prevent tangling, the CHI has a concealed on-off switch inside the handle to prevent accidentally turning the unit off when in use. The heat paddles are recessed from the edges to prevent skin burns. Will automatically heat up in less than 10 seconds.
