Hey guys! I know I haven't blogged in a while, but I've been pretty busy. We found out our move date, and I've had lots of appointments later. So, I've been buying Chi Flat irons for years and years. I have always raved about how much I love them! Well, while I was gone, BOTH (yes, both) of my Chi irons went out... all in the same week. I decided I was going to opt for a different brand because I was rather annoyed. I've decided to do a review of the flat iron I chose, which was the Paul Mitchell express ion smooth.
At first glance, I didn't think I was going to like this iron as much as I liked my Chi's. It's got 1.25" ceramic plates (as opposed to the 1" Chi I'm used to) and they don't advertise that it can curl, wave, etc. I really need a versatile iron because I don't like to have 5 different tools turned on at the same time (hello, fire hazard!). It does have a temp control, which I like. It only goes up to 400F, which is about 25 degrees less than my Chi... but it feels hotter. So far, it glides MUCH smoother than my Chi irons ever did. And, it curls! VOILA! When I'm doing the curls I do notice that it also doesn't cause the creasing that my Chi's always did.
I like it BETTER than my Chi's, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars :)
xoxo
