CHI G2 1.25" Professional Flat Iron

I have very thick, frizzy hair that’s often hard to manage, and the CHI G2 flat iron has been a total game-changer. I’ve tried a few straighteners in the past that either took forever to heat up or didn’t get hot enough to handle my hair—but this one delivers exactly what it promises. First off, the heat-up time is incredibly fast. It’s ready to go in about 40 seconds, which is perfect for busy mornings. The digital temperature control is a big plus—you can choose the exact heat level you need based on your hair type. I usually set it closer to the higher end since my hair is so thick, and it glides through with no pulling or snagging. The ceramic plates are super smooth and give my hair a sleek, shiny finish with just a few passes. I don’t feel like I have to go over the same section again and again, which cuts down on heat damage. It also works really well for touch-ups the next day without making my hair look fried or flat. The design feels sturdy and high-quality. It’s not too heavy, but it doesn’t feel flimsy either—more like a salon-level tool that’s built to last. The swivel cord is long and doesn’t get tangled, which makes it really easy to move around as I style. What surprised me most is how well it controls frizz. Even in humidity, my hair stays smoother and straighter for much longer than it used to with other irons. I’ve even used it to add loose waves when I don’t want a pin-straight look, and it handles that beautifully too. If you’ve got thick, frizzy, or hard-to-manage hair, I highly recommend this flat iron. It heats up fast, smooths hair effortlessly, and leaves a salon-quality finish that actually lasts. Well worth the investment!

A good flat iron is a must for me. I’ve had quite a few but I’ve fallen for the gimmicks; fancy displays, fans, sleek looks, etc. Some were good but each had its faults. I had a Chi that was probably 20 years old when I decided it was time for a change. I did a ton of online research and was on the verge of buying a very expensive one like Dyson. Consistently, Chi was listed as the best on the market. I was surprised that it was also among the most affordable. My old one was still alive and kicking but I felt it was time for a newer technology. I had confidence that it would be durable. The iron was packaged beautifully and was easy to operate. It has a beautiful digital display but otherwise it’s simple and elegant. It screams quality. Heavy but not too heavy for ease of use. Every one I’ve ever used has snagged my hair. Not this one. It glides through my short, somewhat fine hair like a dream. It leaves my hair soft, straight and shiny with minimum effort. For me, the amazing stand out difference is that my style STAYS. With all others, my set only lasted for the day it was done. With this iron, my hair stayed straight for DAYS using less heat than others. I’m not sure how it’s possible but it’s huge to me. No 2nd and 3rd day touch ups, which is so much better for my hair! I’m so glad I chose this product. Ditch the bells and whistles and just get the very best! I hope this review helps someone decide. I’m very pleased with my purchase and hope this appliance lasts as long as my original one. Highly recommend!

I initially bought this flat iron as an emergency purchase because I was traveling to Brazil and needed a dual-voltage straightener. Before this, I had been using a BaByliss, but it’s not dual voltage. When this one arrived, I was honestly skeptical because it’s so lightweight. I seriously doubted how well it would work. But it proved me completely wrong! It worked perfectly the entire month I was in Brazil. For reference, my hair is long, thick, and naturally wavy. Brazil’s weather is hot and extremely humid, so you’re constantly sweating, and your hair is exposed to humidity all day. Needless to say, most flat irons only keep my hair straight for a short time in those conditions. This one, however, not only straightened my hair beautifully but actually kept it straight and frizz-free much longer than my BaByliss—or any other flat iron I’ve tried. It also left my hair feeling soft and looking shiny! It’s incredibly powerful despite being so lightweight, which makes it very easy to handle (again, much lighter than my BaByliss). I would definitely buy it again! All of these pictures were taken in Brazil, so you can see for yourself how well it performed in a hot, humid climate. My hair looked amazing the entire trip. Great product with excellent durability!

The CHI G2 flat iron is a winner! I have long, thick hair that tends to soak up humidity and of course that causes frizz. This flat iron with its digital temperature controls work exceptionally well on my hair and allows me to consistently get salon quality styling at home. My hair remains smooth, with a nice sheen and it does not frizz up in the humid weather. I am very pleased with this flat iron. To protect my hair from heat damage, I always use a heat protectant on my hair before using my CHI G2 (or any hair straightener), and I make certain that the heat protectant has had a chance to completely dry (or I gently blow dry it) before using the CHI G2 flat iron. I love my CHI G2, it gives me the confidence to do my own hair and it saves me money on salon visits. LOVE IT!!!

Heats quickly and has a really long cord. I like this iron a lot. Just wish the cord came with something easier to store.

I’ve seen some of the reviews and was skeptical at first however I love love love this straightener. I have had several high-end brands and this one blows everything out of the water. I have thick Asian hair that sometimes is hard to keep curls in, but the straightener does it all day in hot, humid weather.

My wavy hair gets way too frizzy and this product really helped my hair get more smooth and silky, thank u so much!!!!

I have straight hair so was not sure I needed this but have been amazed at how useful it is. Even straight hair can get a little wavy or full. This tool can straighten it and add curl on the ends if I desire. Love it!
