Beginning with the Chi Digital, you can expect most of the same features that you would see in the the original Chi. One of those features would be the ceramic plates that won over so many stylists. What’s so great about these plates is that they know how to give you great results without frying your strands. The way they do this is by absorbing all humidity in your hair and then release all frizz from your hair, leaving only the natural moisture. Chi stands by their word by providing Chi 44 Ceramic Technology. This system of technology works by guaranteeing that no matter how often you style with a flat iron, your hair will always be protected. Another great feature is its ability to heat up to 390 degrees maximum in less than ten seconds because of its digital technology. The speedy heat up is due to the fast flash infrared heating.

A couple main differences in the Original Chi and the Nano Chi are the technologies that are used and the kind of plates used. While the Original uses ceramic plates, the Nano uses silver plates. Not only are the plates silver but the technology is called Nano Silver Technology, designed to create a germ-free zone when your hands come in contact with the grip of the straightener. This is great for those looking to keep a healthy touch to styling each day. It is applied to the body of the Chi and kills germs living on your straightener. This particular iron was created mainly for its prevention of germs and protection from bad bacteria you could come in contact with. However, it was designed very similar to the Original Chi. It uses the same 360 degree swivel cord to prevent strain on the wrist and uses infrared technology to create a faster styling session.

The Tri Angle Chi features a great new feature that will make it easy for anyone to straighten hair. This straightener differs from the Original Chi in the way that it was designed with adjustable plates to make taming hair much easier. All those spots that you once found hard to straighten in the back or underneath the bulk now seems like less of a job to complete. The head of this iron rotates in angled positions so that the user can easily reach hard spots and do so quickly!

These types of straighteners are not always thought of when people mention the name Chi hair straightener. After realizing what great features each iron has to offer, it’s hard not to want one. These innovative designs keep stylists wanting more with each tool they purchase.

Hair cutting professionals use high quality hair cutting shears or professional hair scissors.  The reason for using these hair scissors  and not the cheapest craft scissors at the dollar store is clear:  the better the scissors, the better the hair cut.

Professional hair scissors should be made from a high quality metal that is free from nicks or cuts.  It is important that the blades are sharp, and while they shouldn’t need sharpened after every use, a hair cutting professional should pay attention to how many cuts he or she can perform between each sharpening.

In order to keep their hair scissors in good shape, remember a few simple rules for their care.

Rule one: Always, always, always clean the hair scissors after each use.  Rinse them with soap and water to prevent bacteria and germ build-up.

Rule two: Sterilize the hair scissors with a non damaging formula.  It is not necessary to sterilize the hair shears after each use, but before doing so, be sure that the formula is gentle enough to prevent harm.

Rule three: Store hair scissors in a dry place.  To avoid moisture, keep the scissors in a holster or in a place where they are sure to stay away from water or any wet environment.

Rule four: Don’t be afraid to oil hair scissors if they are in constant use.  Proper and occasional oiling can prevent rust and maintain proper movement in the shears.

And finally, rule five: Never, ever use hair shears on anything except for hair.  These tools are called “hair scissors” for a reason and using them on anything else can damage the blades and prevent them from doing their job.
