CHI Deep Brilliance Titanium 1" Flat Iron

I purchased a Farouk Deep Brilliance Ceramic flat iron from Amazon a few years ago and was absolutely blown away by the quality of the flat iron. My Farouk Deep Brilliance is still working perfectly but recently I felt that I needed a backup iron in case something happened to mine (I've dropped it a few times). I was thrilled when Farouk introduced the Chi Deep Brilliance Titanium iron at such a great price and I purchased it right away. I was concerned about the titanium plates (I've only used ceramic plates) but I actually contacted Farouk directly before I purchased the iron and they told me that this iron was the new and improved Farouk Deep Brilliance. The Deep Brilliance is a Farouk line made especially for ethnic hair (I'm African American).

Let's start with the pros:

1. This Chi Deep Brilliance heats up pretty quickly...in just under two minutes. I'm usually rushing in the morning and haven't found myself waiting around for this iron to get hot.

2. The digital display is a nice addition. You can clearly see when the iron is at your desired temperature and you can choose how hot you want the iron to get.

3. It has a swivel cord that allows you to flat iron your hair with ease.

4. It has an automatic shut off which is extremely helpful...I know that I've accidentally left my other iron on all day.

Now the cons:

1. My hair smells more burned than it did after flat ironing it with the ceramic plates. I don't know if that means that the temperature setting is too high but I don't love having my hair smell burned.

2. The design of the casing around the titanium plates is very square. I don't know if this is something that I'll get used to in time but it does affect the way my hair curls. My Farouk Deep Brilliance had sleek rounded edges and this iron is decidedly bulkier and squared. It gives more a bump closer to my root which is good for volume I suppose but my hair wasn't as sleek and straight as it was with my other iron.

3. My style doesn't seem to be lasting throughout the day. My hair looked pretty good this morning right after I'd flat ironed it but after a few hours my ends look frizzy and that has never happened to me before. When I take the time to flat iron my hair in the morning it normally holds up all day...even in the humidity.

All in all I would say that it's a pretty decent iron...I don't know that it's better than a regular Chi. The color is nice but the design is definitely flawed...I'm actually a little bit disappointed.

I have very curly hair and this flat iron works great straightening it! And I love the digital adjustments. My favorite flat iron EVER!

I am a single dad. My 13 year old asked for a flat iron. After some research and asking some friends and professional hair stylist, I decided on this item. I was very pleased. My daughter loves it. She has very long and thick hair and this flat iron makes her hair straight and silky (that's what she says). I had no idea which flat iron to go with and I know there are a lot of them out there. I would recommend this to anyone. I'm sure there are those out there with more options and settings but this made my little girl smile, and she said I did a good job.

Great flat iron of course! Heats up in less than a minute and stays hot. Has a timer also if you're kind of forgetful and don't remember to turn it off. Love the digital controls!
