To catch up with the trend, CHI has also recently released a product called “CHI AIR Spin N Curl”. Customers will be able to curl their hair just by a push of a button. It works fairly similar to the product mentioned above. For CHI, it uses a different material; the hair will be drawn into a ceramic chamber to create shiny curls (chi.com). And, customers have to curl the hair at a 90° angle (www.qvc.com). Moreover, “the digital temperature display offers easily adjustable temperature settings and a selection of preset temperature settings for each hair texture, creating a customizable styling experience while avoiding unnecessary heat damage” (chi.com). The temperature offering is from 160°F to 410°F (www.qvc.com). For the directions of the curls, customers can control them by pressing a left or right button (www.lovelyskin.com).
