Chi X Barbie On The Go Travel Kit Review (2023): Compact and Capable Leave a comment

Even when my emotions about my wild, wangly hair are difficult, I really like hair tools. However why get them in boring colours like black and grey when you will get pink Barbie ones? Every little thing is healthier when it’s pink.

Barbie-branded equipment aren’t exactly new, however as you might or could not know (we knew) Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is popping out quickly. We’re seeing extra collaborations with the well-known doll, which incorporates Chi’s newest line of hair instruments. This travel kit features a mini flat iron and foldable hair dryer, which is unfortunately not fairly sufficiently small to make use of on Barbie herself. Every is adorned with Barbie’s lovable doll head brand and packaged in a cute pink, blue, and inexperienced case.

All Pink Every little thing

The Chi X Barbie mini hair dryer jogs my memory of a budget ones you would possibly discover at a lodge. Clearly it is cuter in bubblegum pink, however for those who’ve used a kind of, you may acknowledge the facility compromise. It isn’t as highly effective as a full-size dryer, however you possibly can fold it up and throw it in a bag or a packed lavatory drawer with out taking over prime actual property. It really works nicely for its dimension, but it surely would not have separate warmth and pace settings. As a substitute, there are simply two settings: medium warmth makes use of medium pace and excessive warmth makes use of the next pace.

You will discover a small concentrator attachment within the bag, which is for concentrating on air movement and is particularly useful for blowouts. There isn’t any diffuser. That is the norm with most journey dryers, though we advocate the Paul Mitchell’s compact handle-free dryer that comes with a collapsible diffuser. That is an ideal possibility for touring.

I simply suppose diffusers want extra love—us curlies want them. You could possibly pair this with the Rizos Curl’s pink collapsible diffuser to match or another moveable one—even an affordable Hot Sock would work, although I do not suppose they’re as good to make use of as an precise diffuser. The very best situation is to pair it with a bonnet dryer hood.
