What damages your hair more flat iron or curling iron?

FLAT IRON of course because when you flat iron your hair you sometimes have to do it over and over again until it meets your standards then some people like to do it everyday and that just puts a whole bunch of heat in your hair and thatisn't good, but if you don't want to listen to me then try it on your own and usually then straightener that you have should have a hair type code and you should always set your straightener to that temperature and in some cases you can put it just a little higher but not too much.gOoD lUck peoPle

Can my chi flat iron also be used as a curling iron if the edges are kind of curved?

Yes, it can. You just need to set it to the highest setting so that the entire iron is really hot and then move the flat iron slowly along your hair in an inward motion. The slower you go the more pronounced your curls will be. It will not give you super curly hair but it is great for adding some curls at the ends and adding body and waves. Just be sure you get one with curved edges. Other brands have this feature too.

Given that I know chi makes great flat irons, is it safe to assume that their curling irons are of high quality as well?

Yes, it is probably safe to assume so. What makes chi flat irons of such high quality is the fact that they are made out of ceramic, not just metal, which is less damaging and more efficient. If the curling iron is also made out of ceramic then you are in business. Also, if you have course hair, be sure you get one that has a very high temperature setting, at least to 400 degrees.
