CHI Straightener Review: CHI Original 1-inch Ceramic (GF1001) Flat Iron

Farouk Systems is well-known for making fast, top quality, and convenient CHI straightener irons. Among the popular models of the CHI iron line, the CHI Original 1-inch Farouk CHI Ceramic Flat Iron Model GF-1001 is hailed as the most flexible.

It features a very convenient and ergonomically engineered handle, which allows you to use the hair iron easily in flipping or curling the hair with just a simple twist or flick of your wrist. Just like all CHI straightener hair irons from Farouk, this model's greatest feature is its use of ceramic plates.

Ceramic plate technology is found in the 1-inch flat ceramic plates on the hair iron. One of the benefits of using this technology is that the plates lock in your hair's moisture, thus preventing it from drying up and becoming brittle. The ceramic plates also allow your strands to glide smoothly along the iron's surface without scorching your strands at all or diminishing your hair's color.

Aside from that, the CHI Original 1-inch Farouk CHI Ceramic Flat Iron Model GF-1001 features fast-heating capability. The ceramic plates heat up in about 1 to 2 minutes, or even less. Some users even achieve heat-up time of only about 10 seconds. This means a lot of time saved if you are a busy person.

As part of its safe and ergonomic design, the CHI Original 1-inch Farouk CHI Ceramic Flat Iron Model GF-1001 also includes a power cord that swivels--a feature that is ergonomic and convenient at the same time, especially if you are styling your hair by yourself. The power switch is concealed strategically inside the handle so that you can avoid inadvertently turning off your iron while grasping the handle.

Unlike other models of CHI irons, the GF-1001 has factory-defined and non-configurable temperature of around 150 to 180 degrees Celsius. That's a lot of heat, but being engineered for safety, the heat is concentrated only on the ceramic plates, which are recessed from the iron's edge. Being this well-crafted for safe and efficient use, the GF-1001 is used by many salons and women before performing a dry haircut.

The CHI Original 1-inch Farouk CHI Ceramic Flat Iron Model GF-1001 has very lean features. It actually bears only the essential features that you will need. Despite this, it is ideal for people who want a minimalistic, no-frill CHI straightener to use for their hair.
