I can say without any hesitation that the Chi is the best flatiron on the planet. No comparison.
Amazon has the Farouk CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Hairstyling Iron for $56.95 with FREE Saver Shipping.
I know they are expensive – but it is worth every single dollar. And this is a great deal considering they consistently run for $99 ( or more) at most beauty stores.
