Conair InfinitiPro Salon Performance Hair Dryer Review

Getting that great finished look from the salon is nice, but isn't always affordable.  You can get your favorite look at home for a fraction of the price with the InfinitiPro Dryer from Conair! It is an awesome hair dryer with 3 temperature settings, 2 speeds and a cold shot button!! Use the low speed with the cool temperature setting for delicate, thin, or easy to style hair. Use the low speed with the warm temperature for average to thick or treated hair. Use the high speed with the hot temperature for thick, coarse or hard to style hair. The cold shot button is great for curls or to set style in place for any hair type.

I loved using this dryer on my daughters' hair. The cool setting is the perfect temperature for little heads I also use the cool setting for my curly hair! The kids love it for blowing cool air on their face to be models!! Great for many purposes!

Conair offers the following styling advice:

Your best looks begin with a good haircut that's well maintained. Always treat hair right with ssuperior quality shampoos, conditioners and finishing products.

This dryer is fabulous because its almost maintenance free!! No lubrication needed! For proper operating performance, the dryer must be kept clean. To clean, you simply wait until it's cool (and of course unplugged), and clean dust and lint from air intake openings with a small brush or the brush attachment from a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface should only be cleaned by wiping with a cloth.

The dryer also includes 2 concentrator attachments, perfect for drying the section of hair that you want!! They easily screw on and off, so you are ready to go in seconds! The dryer is lightweight yet a powerful and effective styling tool!!


Suggested Retail: $38.99

Misikko Corioliss Classic Pro Flat Iron 1" Review and Giveaway!



I have had curly hair ALL my life. Super curly, super tight, super frizzy.  I have tried straightener after straightener, NEVER getting the results I wanted.  I was skeptical that the Corioliss Classic Pro Flat Iron from Misikko would be any different, but I was willing to give it a shot.  I was super pleased with the results!!

Here is a normal hair day for me:


Now here is my hair after using the straightener:









I couldn't believe how straight and mostly how SMOOTH it made my hair! I have never gotten these type of results before!  I have gotten it straight in the past, but usually it is super frizzy by the time its all done.  The reason my hair wasn't so frizzy is because of the ceramic plates on this iron.

Here are some more details about the Flat Iron:

Frizz Off Hair Products Review and Giveaway!!

Curly hairs means special treatment! Hopefully if you have really curly hair like mine, you have figured out how to keep it healthy and looking its best! It took me many years to find the best products and things to do to keep my hair beautiful and not dry and frizzy! The problem I had was that no one in my family had curly hair so nobody knew what to do to it. My hair was a big poofy frizzy mess until I figured out how to keep it tame!  Dryness causes frizziness and out of control .One great hair care line that has changed my hair completely has been the Frizz Off products from Curly Hair Solutions!! They sent me a great gift basket with the following products:

Curl Keeper- Total control for frizzy hair. Curl keeper enables you to become the master of gorgeous frizz free curls! Curl keeper is water based which mean you can use it daily without product buildup!! This was so great on my hair and also worked for fly a ways and touch ups!

ReMane Straight-Straightens and smooths hair. ReMane Straight will assist in straightening the hair safely during blow drying by sealing the hair cuticle while protecting hair against heat and stretching. You can use a generous amount against high heat appliances (both curling irons and blow dryers.) Styles last longer while still feeling clean! It is also humidity resistant. I liked to use this to make my hair more wavy than curly and also to help make my daughter's hair more perfectly straight and not dry!

Tweek-A hairspray in a cream form!! Tweek will refresh and support your style for several days if you need!! It will eliminate flat spots and flyaway hair, add volume, bounce and shine. Tweek never builds up!! I loved this product as a finishing touch especially when I wear my hair down. It adds sleekness and shine to my hair and the curls stay frizz free all day long!



Stretch-The ultimate non chemical curl styling relaxer!! This product actually prevents curls from shrinking up when they dry! Keeps hair beautiful and bouncy! I loved it and use it daily!



Gel-Outstanding all day hold. CHS Gel gives the ultimate in holding power without flakiness. Gel is excellent for blow drying, air drying, scrunching or styling with brushes. Provides style support for curly or straight hair without the look or feel of product in your hair! This product also helped contribute to my frizz less hair and kept curls in place!



Silk Leave In Conditioner treatment-Adds moisturizer and shine to your hair!! This goes in after you get out of the shower and helps create the sleek healthy look I love!! Great for any hair type that needs extra moisture!



Slip-Detangles Instantly, locks in hair color. Slip is a leave in conditioner that instantly smooths hair cuticles, loosens tangles and eliminates flyaway hair. CHS Slip helps to lock in hair color making it stay truer, longer. This unique non-silicone formula helps repair dry damaged hair without buildup Your hair will be left shiny, healthy, smooth and tangle free! I loved loved LOVED this for my daughter's hair!!!
