CHI Smart Magnify Medium Ceramic Rollers Vs. Competition
Below is a useful chart that shows you some of the other roller sets available right now.
CHI Ceramic Rollers vs Remington H9000 Pearl Ceramic Set
This set comes with 20 rollers and clips with two different sizes. It’s nice to have the option of more but you will rarely use them all. It is nice that the clips are heated to, curls are heated from the inside and the outside. Unfortunately, they don’t tend to stay in place very well.
The rollers heat up incredibly quickly and they get very hot. Your hair is ready in 5 minutes. They appear to work better on long hair than short hair. They will have some effect on taming down the frizz. The Remington Pearl set is cheaper but you will notice the quality of the curls is not the same.
CHI Ceramic Rollers vs Unix Pro
With the number of rollers and the three different sizes means you can create tight curls or loose curls. The rollers have a specific design that will leave a unique, natural-looking curl. There are enough rollers to be able to do two people’s hair at the same time. There are 8 clips to hold them in place as well as 40 slide-on grip fasteners.
The storage box has an on/off button and two temperature settings. This provides more options for a variety of hair types.
While this set has an amazing range of options, it is very difficult to use the set. The ridges on the rollers make it difficult to wrap the hair. The fasteners don’t grip the hair very well. Aside from the difficulty to you, this set is very expensive.
CHI Ceramic Rollers vs T3 Volumizing Hot Rollers
We chose this roller set because it is the most similar in price to the CHI ceramic rollers. There are 8 rollers, 4 at 1.5” and 4 at 1.75”, even the manufacturer admits that these sizes are best for shoulder length or longer hair. There are two heat settings for all hair types.
The clips are good and grip the rollers well but they do tend to break easily. On some hair types, they will leave a crease, which is a shame. Overall, they are a good product but certainly not the same quality as CHI, despite the similar price.
In Conclusion
You might feel that you are spending a lot of money on the CHI ceramic roller set however you will know you are getting a quality set that works well and will last a long time. The overall result will be exactly what you wanted, shiny, bouncy and long-lasting.
It would be nice to see another size option in the set and even 2 heat settings, but they don’t appear to be necessary for the large majority of people.
