Flat Iron Review #4: The FHI Technique

FHI flat irons are the 2nd most googled flat irons after the Chi. I covered the Runway and the Platform, earlier this week. Now I want to tell you about the FHI Technique. The FHI Technique is lowest grade flat iron out of the three. Consequently, it is also the least expensive and has the lowest ratings/reviews of the three. That is not to say that this is a bad flat iron. Its not. Take a look:

FHI Technique Features:

  • Tourmaline plates that absorb moisture and reduce static
  • Advanced PTC heater/heats quickly and evenly
  • Auto sense control calibrates to heat to your texture
  • Beveled ceramic plates to curl and flip hair
  • Proprietary nano-fuzeion technology for “unmatched” conditioning and shine
  • Far infared heat gentle on hair
  • Low electromagnetic field I” plates
  • Swivel cord
  • Max temp 410°

The FHI Technique Rocks Because:

  • It makes hair soft, for naturals
  • It’s good for thick hair
  • It seems to last a long time
  • It makes hair silky
  • It creates long lasting curls

But It Sucks Because It:

  • Didn’t straighten well for some users
  • Has a fixed temp
  • It gets too hot for some hair types and temp is not adjustable
  • The customer service not so great
  • It is damaging to the hair over time

 Price Range:

  • Department Store $$ ($40-$99)

My Final Word on the FHI Technique

A big fat no! Sorry…This is an okay flat iron but I really hate fixed temperature settings. You want to have control of how hot the flat iron gets, period. Now, there may be some of the Techniques that have variable settings. I think maybe the newer ones have this feature but make sure you check first. This is not a flat iron I would get. It seems to be worth the money to get the FHI Platform.

Overall I give it a low 3 stars (maybe 2.9).

 

I would go with the Chi over the FHI Technique for flat irons in that price range ($50 to $90). But if you are still interested you can buy the FHI Technique.

 

My next flat iron review will be about a flat iron encrusted with beautiful Swarvoski crystals. And the reviews are awesome so be sure to check it out.

 

See you Soon,
