I've had everything from the Wigo to the CHI that my friend recommended
and although they seemed to work alright my hair would curl back up as soon as
it hit the SoCal humidity. This Paul Brown flat iron has been much better at not

recommend. -Lindsay

are also using a high quality leave in conditioner such as the Shine Shield.
Customer Reviews:
I live in Louisiana and it gets SO humid down here that I really needed
something that would get my hair board straight. I don't have the money to spend
on a 100% ceramic iron (at least until I'm done with nursing school) but I'm
very impressed with this iron. I've used Babyliss before and I can tell you this
gets hotter and the black plates are a cool plus as well! -Taina

The Hana Elite is amazing. It heats quickly, distributes heat evenly and flat-irons
like I've just come back from the salon. I ve also noticed that I lose significantly less hair in the flat-ironing process

pass. In addition to loving the flat iron, I like the handy pouch and the
silicon mat is AMAZING because I can put my hot iron down after use and just
walk out the door without worry. You won t be sorry you purchased it. - A.F.

I used to never dry my hair because I didn’t want to damage it too much. I would let it air dry. This resulted in frizzy, lifeless locks. My hair HATES humidity! I bought this dryer and I couldn’t be happier. I have coarse, slightly wavy hair and this makes it straight, shiny, and perfect! It does it in less time than other dryers so the damage in minimal. I still let my hair dry when I can, but I don’t feel badly for using this dryer sometimes too. -Mandy

broken within a year! I'm known by my friends and family as a bit of a 'clutz'

Best Low EMF Hair Dryer |
|
CHI Rocket Hair Dryer

Originally $200.00
Sale Price $184.99
|
Why it's the Best
Tourmaline Hair Dryer:
- Low EMF means less frizz / faster drying times
- Powerful 1800 watts dry quickly
- Infrared Light Indicator
- Light, quiet professional hairdryer
- Ceramic Heating element for instant moisturizing heat
- Pick/comb attachment + narrow concentrator nozzle included
The Bottom Line:
The CHI Rocket is the flagship of the CHI Dryer line and boasts a powerful
yet quiet motor, multiple attachments, and a sleek salon design. As the dryer
with the lowest output of EMF (electro magnetic frequency) the CHI Rocket
projects millions of negative ions to break the water molecules on your hair
rather than boiling them like a conventional dryer. This may lead to 50% or more
savings in drying times.
Customer Reviews:
The CHI Rocket is by far the best dryer I've ever had! I bought it because it claimed to speed up drying times by 50% and I'm not sure that it
is really twice as fast but it definitely saves me at least 10 minutes every morning. Plus my hair feels softer probably because of the low EMF feature that breaks the water up so that it evaporates instead of burning it! Overall, I love my Rocket! -Kris

StriVectin-SD Skin Cream
Salon Price: $150

wrinkles, crows feet around the eyes, and has proven to eliminate fine
lines.

of stretch marks

reduce fine lines and wrinkles

The Bottom Line:
StriVectin-SD is a multi-action skin perfecter that's highly concentrated and enriched with Striadril, a key compound containing patented pentapeptides. This formula is designed to significantly improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, stretch marks, and minor skin imperfections by aiding the build-up of collagen. Unlike many other anti-aging treatments, Striadril is made to have a much longer shelf life, and is safely designed to cause less irritation and be more effective.
Customer Reviews:
To be honest, when my mother got this for me after my first son I was a little embarrassed to have received a product for stretch marks. But then I tried it and it really works! I mean it REALLY WORKS! And not only has it drastically reduced the look of my stretch marks but it's done wonders on the area around my eyes! I must say this is the single most effective product I have ever used and that include eye serums that cost just as much for 1/20th of the size. -Alexis
