It’s that time of year when you want to do something spectacular with your hair for a fresh look. Whatever style you’re going for, you want your hair frizz-free with as much shine and volume that you can possibly get. A product that can help with that task is John Frieda’s Salon Shape Hot Air Brush that PR sent for this review.

This helps eliminate frizz.

This brush isn’t meant to dry your hair like your hair dryer.  You could probably do that, but it is recommended for putting final touches to your hair after it is mostly dry (80%). With its ionic generator, this styling tool is great for creating smoothness to eliminate frizziness by how it flattens the hair cuticles.  It also has ceramic and titanium technology built in for giving hair extra shine and increased thermal protection. 

The barrel of this brush is 1-1/2 inches and it has 500 watts of power, two settings for heat, besides the cool setting for locking in the fullness.    I forgot to mention it also has a long cord that swivels for better access to electric outlets as well as maneuvering.

I have thick hair that has some layers cut in to take advantage of my natural curl.  I started on the high setting to turn my hair under initially before I changed to the lower heat just for a few minutes because it was at the right stage to finish with the cool button.  I am happy to report that once I partially dried my hair and experimented with the Salon Shape Hot Air Brush, I loved how the layers seemed to separate and puff out more than when blow drying with two different size ceramic brushes.

With how much extra volume that I noticed in my thick hair, I can only imagine how beneficial this tool could be for someone with thin or fine hair.  Honestly, if you thought your fine hair was doomed to hang flat and limp, then try this John Frieda Salon Shape Hot Air Brush because it will surprise you in a nice way for you to gift yourself with or that special lady for Mother’s Day.  Check it out!

ConairPRO Silk Tools 1" Curling Iron Review–Lasting Curls for Mother’s Day Beauty!

This iron really locks in curls exceptionally well.

Are you looking to banish drooping curls from spoiling your look?  If so, I have a solution for you with my new curling iron that arrived.  The ConairPRO Silktools 1" Curling Iron that I tried can really lock in curls enough that you can sleep on them and forget about reinforcing those curls in the morning!  Now how often can you say, this happens?

What makes this particular spring-type curling iron special is its unique silk fabric complex on its barrel that has both silicone and Teflon for protecting hair while better directing the heat where you need it.  The end result is smoother, full-bodied one-inch curls that really last.

This iron retails for $49.99.


The temperatures on this iron can go from the gentlest setting of 285F for fine hair to 430F for coarse, thick hair.  Furthermore, this iron does heat up quickly, which is another plus.  In addition, it has a long cord for easier maneuvering and a non-slip cool tip just in case you get too close.

As much as I loved the supreme curling power of this iron, I have to admit the spring to hold the hair in place could have been tighter.  My hair did have a tendency to slip out at times.  

Also, this iron does have a built-in stand to hold it up, but it is much shorter than I would like compared to my much higher, Hot Tools curling iron for trusting by itself on the wood of my vanity.     

Yet, you can’t help love the awesome curling power of this ConairPRO Silktools 1" Curling Iron. Mother’s Day is only a few weeks away. Now is the time to start thinking of a great gift for your mother or you and that perpetual problem of what you’re going to do with your hair.  The ConairPRO Silktools Curling Iron can help so be sure to find it at Sally Beauty!

Those of us with natural curls or waves in our hair know it can have a mind of its own. Instead of letting nature determine how you must wear your hair, we are fortunate to have the freedom to change the texture of our hair at will. Thanks to professional treatments, products, and helpful styling tools like the one Diamond Professional Hair Styler from Irresistible Me that I have been using and loving, we have the option of wearing slick-straight hair, full waves or a return to a mass of curls, if so desired.

What makes Irresistible Me’s flat iron worthy of your attention is simple.  It’s lightweight for one, heats up very quickly, won’t burn your fingertips when styling due to its cool tips, has a swivel cord for easier maneuvering, a wide range of temperatures, and then there’s the technology.  It has floating ceramic plates with crushed diamond particles mixed with tourmaline for giving hair extra shine and benefitting from the heat from its negative ions. This enables it to seal in moisture while solving the problem of frizz.  I also liked how it automatically shuts down in 30 minutes in case you forgot you had it still plugged in.

The Diamond Professional Hair Styler can give anyone the versatility they are looking for without the hassle they can come with other flats irons.  Some flat irons retail for a lot more than this one at $135.20 plus some can feel as heavy as bricks after a while of holding them unlike this one. 

Though as much as I love how it irons out my curls and waves, I thought it did a nice job of creating more volume in the loose curls I later styled in.  Now how can you not appreciate that type of result from a flat iron?

If you are constantly pulling out your phone to snap selfies, then you probably also are bringing out your entire beauty arsenal to prep before sharing your image with the world. But if you want to simplify the task for camera ready hair, I think that you are going to love the concept of the Selfie Brush because it doubles as a phone case.

From the makers of the Wet Brush, this paddle brush is compatible for iPhone 5 and 5s for the type of shots needed to work on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  Furthermore, its functional design allows the user to talk, text and adjust volume with the phone inside the hard plastic brush case, which also protects your phone.

Check this brush out for yourself or anyone that also loves instantly uploading their photos because this is a nice stocking stuffer!  Find it for $19.99 at the Selfie Brush website.

Natural curls and waves can be considered both a blessing and a curse.  At times, they can limit your hair styles.  However, I had the opportunity to try the Karmin G3 Salon Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Styling Iron from Hair Products Pro for this review.  Shortly, I discovered how to achieve total hair freedom to flatten, curl or flip those locks the way you have always hoped.

This Karmin G3 Salon Pro Hair Tourmaline Ceramic Styling Iron is top of the line quality with ceramic plates instead of any coating, making it more durable besides being safer with drop safe technology and a sleep mode that shuts off automatically after an hour.

It also has adjustable temperatures (176 degrees F to 460 degrees F) so it can work on all hair types and textures doing multiple tasks such as straightening, curling, or even adding volume besides helping deal with static using infrared heat and tourmaline's negative ions! 

The cord swivels to make it easier to handle and it can travel with you regardless of the country with worldwide voltage 100-240V so you can count of it without worrying about what to pack to style your hair. 

The company even gives you a zippered case to store your styling iron.  Look at the product as I hold it above with that case in the photo below.

At first, I was not sure of how this tool would work on my own head.  Nonetheless, the company has an excellent YouTube video instruction to help show a novice, such as yours truly, how to style with it.  This video had excellent tips on really doing some amazing tricks with this styling iron so do check this out.

You may think that only those with long hair can benefit from this iron.  Wrong!  I have medium length hair and soon discovered the right technique to wrap my hair. 

The built in ceramic technology also left my hair softer and extra shiny from the company's ion field technology to seal in your hair's own natural oils and before long I found myself with straightened style that was more conditioned than before I used this styling iron.

Fickle as I may appear, I do like to show off my curls on other occasions.  Therefore, I further worked learning how to manuever my new Karmin G3 Salon Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Styling Iron until I mastered it with lots of amazing curl that kept up beautifully throughout the day without loosing shape.

I am thrilled with my new styling iron and wish that I would have tried one sooner.  I think the Karmin G3 Salon Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Styling Iron from Hair Products Pro would make a fantastic holiday gift.  Usually, this styling iron retails for $300 but now can be had for $129.95 and that includes FREE shipping to any country!  This is a beautiful deal in my eyes and suggest you visit their website while this bargain price is available.
