Women are finding out the benefits of using a wet to dry flat. Gone are the days you when first had to blow-dry your hair before you straightened. You save time and you get a beautiful, silky-smooth hairstyle. Both Corioliss and CHI make wet to dry flat irons, but is either one better than the other?
We'll be comparing the CHI 1" Wet to Dry flat iron with that of the Corioliss 1.75" Wet to Dry flat iron.
Overall, both the CHI and Corioliss receive positive reviews and do the job the claim to do. What follows are the key things to think about before you choose either the Corioliss or CHI wet to dry flat iron.
Design
This is an important feature. A good ergonomically designed product makes for easy use, as does its extra functions. The Corioliss has a very simple and pleasing shape but for design, the CHI flat iron wins hands down. With the Corioliss you can turn on and off the heat and set the temperature by means of switch on the inside of the bottom arm of the flat iron. The CHI does a lot more. The auto digital feature on the outside of the upper arm allows you to set the temperature and the time, and the digital monitor allows you to see the temperature setting. You can also set a timer for automatic shut off when you are finished with styling.
Heat Up Time
Both flat iron heat up in seconds. It's too close to call which is faster.
Power Cord
Both the Corioliss and CHI flat iron both have swivel cords and are the same length.
Weight
There's a real difference here. The Corioliss weighs 0.85 lbs whereas the CHI Wet to Dry flat iron weighs in at 2.05 lbs. Using a flat iron over any length of time can get quite tiring and using a flat iron that weighs over 2 lbs especially so. CHI claim that their wet to dry flat iron has been ergonomically designed, shame they couldn't have kept the weight down a bit.
Price
The Corioliss is cheaper than the CHI flat iron, by about 25 dollars at time of writing. This makes the CHI wet to dry flat iron an expensive item and some may prefer to save their dollars and go for the cheaper Corioliss wet to dry flat iron.
Hair Straightening
Both the Corioliss and the CHI get excellent reviews, however, from reading many of them, it would appear that most women who own a Corioliss would say they like it; most women who own the CHI wet to dry flat iron say they love it.
