CHI Wins InStyle Readers’ Choice Beauty Award
Some beauty tools earn a place in your routine and never leave. The CHI Original Ceramic Hairstyling Iron is celebrating that kind of staying power after winning Best Hot Tool in the InStyle 2026 Readers’ Choice Beauty Awards.
Chosen by the InStyle beauty community, the award recognizes the products readers love using. The publication highlighted their readers who named CHI Original a longtime favorite, with feedback celebrating its ability to straighten hair and deliver shine. For CHI, the recognition is a celebration of the people who continue to make the Original part of their styling routines.
What makes this classic so versatile? The CHI Original features one-inch ceramic floating plates and a design that lets you straighten, curl, or flip your hair. Whether you are creating a sleek finish for the workweek, adding movement for dinner, or turning the ends under for a polished bob, one tool offers several styling possibilities. Its ceramic technology helps create silky, shiny hair while reducing the appearance of frizz. A preset temperature of 392°F keeps the controls simple, while quick heating helps you get started. The 11-foot swivel cord provides room to move as you work through each section, and dual voltage adds convenience when traveling.
Beauty trends bring fresh inspiration every season, but a versatile tool gives you room to make each look your own. This latest InStyle honor gives CHI Original another reason to celebrate, and gives anyone building a styling routine a classic to discover.
