Question by Krissy: Whats a better curling iron the Chi or the new Paul Mitchel one? I know Paul Mitchel has that new ionic thing?

I’ve always had a Chi straightener and I am happy with it but now I want a curling iron and don’t know what type to get. I just need it to be cyramic and do a good job obviously. I heard Paul Mitchel came out with something with new ionic technology. I also saw good reviews for hot tools. I’m confused!
