Flat Iron Hair Straighteners: CHI Turbo Flat Iron Information

A popular flat iron hair straightener is the CHI Turbo flat iron. The Turbo has some highly desired features that women look for in a hair straightener, but the price tag is reasonable for a salon-quality hair appliance. A CHI Turbo can generally be found for under $100, sometimes less depending on the model and size of the plate widths.

A CHI Turbo flat iron can be used for almost all types of hair because it has an adjustable temperature bar. If your hair is very fine, you can set the temperature to 176 degrees. Medium coarseness hair would be best suited to use the 266 degree setting, and the Turbo’s highest temperature setting is 356 degrees for people with very thick or coarse hair. The Turbo utilizes ceramic plates and creates negative ions, which help to retain moisture and shine in the hair without creating frizziness. The Turbo’s swivel cord will allow you to handle the CHI flat iron with ease; you will even be able to switch hands to easily straighten on both sides of your head. Another nice feature are the felt-lined plates, which help hair pass through the flat iron more effectively. CHI Turbo flat irons are versatile thanks to their curved plate edges, so you can use your CHI flat iron to curl hair as well as straighten. The Turbo is available in .7-inch, 1-inch, and 2-inch plate width models.

A newer CHI hair iron is the digital version of the Turbo. It features 1-inch plates and has a digital temperature control instead of a traditional dial or sliding bar.

The Turbo name is found in more CHI hair products than just flat irons. There is also a CHI Turbo hair dryer. It is a 1300-watt blow dryer that, like the Turbo hair irons, uses ceramic technology. By using ceramic heating elements rather than copper heating coils, the hair will not dry out as much. The Turbo blow dryer comes with a diffuser and has a cold button so that you can easily set your hairstyle after drying it.
