CHI
CHI Air Expert Classic Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron
Professional tourmaline ceramic flat iron with far-infrared heat for smooth, shiny results.
CHI Air Expert is a professional-grade flat iron that has been a salon staple for years. The tourmaline ceramic plates generate far-infrared heat that dries and styles hair from the inside out, resulting in smoother, shinier hair with less surface damage than conventional flat irons. We tested this on thick, coarse hair and found it excellent at achieving smooth, frizz-free results in fewer passes than most competitors. The plates heat up quickly (30 seconds) and maintain consistent temperature throughout the styling session. The floating plates accommodate different hair thicknesses. At current pricing, it's well-priced for a professional-grade tool. The CHI Air Expert sits in the sweet spot between budget flat irons and premium options like ghd — delivering professional results without the premium price tag.
