Hair Flairs Hair Tinsel Review


Have you heard of Hair Flairs?? Hair tinsel is a fun hair accessory you can put in your hair to add a little sparkle! There are all sorts of brands of hair tinsel, and I love Hair Flairs, the Pro Hair Tinsel! Hair Flairs are a tie-in glitter strand. Made from durable polyester, it simply ties into hair. You can wash, blow-dry, flat-iron with Hair Flairs in your hair. Trina Marr, founder of Hair Flairs, was interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey show on Jan 28th and was wearing Sparkle Gold Hair Flairs. Oprah loved them!
I think these are super cute on kids. I am not much of a fan of them for myself but think they look adorable on little girls.  I did however see a little boy with them and I wasn't so sure I liked that.   But on little girls I do.  They are pretty easy to put in and surprisingly they stay in pretty well!  Hair Flairs are a fun way to accessorize and its so much cheaper to do them yourself! Most places charge around $3 a strand to put in Hair Flairs. If you buy Hair Flairs, they are $10 a package.

Hairflairs.com also offers hair feathers and hair crystals, so you can accessorize your hair in all sorts of cute ways! Check it out today!

hairfreé®-the healthier alternative in hair styling review & giveaway!

I have super curly hair.  Recently I got it cut.  Super short. Shorter than I wanted to. I hate it.  But luckily when I straighten my hair with a flat iron, it looks super cute and I love it.  That will get me through until my hair grows out.  Unfortunately using a flat iron is super damaging to your  hair.  So what am I to do?  I need an alternative to the damaging heat that comes from use of a   flat iron / curling iron.

I recently got the opportunity to try hairfreé®, a brush that is the perfect alternative to a flat iron and curling iron.  This incredible brush is heated with your hair dryer, using a lower temperature than a flat iron / curling iron.  The brushes are great for all hair types! I love the flat regular brush for my kids when they get out of the bath. It gets the knots out and is quick and less painful than a regular brush!! And the reason its called hairfree? Because the brush  vents retract so you can get the hair out  of the brush quickly and easily! This is the only brush I have ever seen that is so easy to clean!! Here is a pic of how great the brush worked on my hair:
Before
After



The brush makes my hair beautiful and super soft and shiny! My hair usually never looks good straight because it gets too frizzy and dried out.  That is why I hate having to flat iron it, because it makes it more dry.  By using this brush, my hair comes out beautiful every day, eliminating my bad hair day!! I will never use a regular brush again!!!

Product Description
Are you tired of frying your hair just to get a smooth, silky, sexy finish?  Forget those expensive high heat flat/curling irons that damage your hair!  Now there is a viable alternative called hairfreé® the new revolutionary brushes that will give your hair that same smooth, silky finish without the burning damaging effects!  hairfreé® brushes use the latest in ceramic technology to produce straight, soft, manageable results!  What’s more hairfreé® brushes are only fraction of the cost of those expensive flat/curling irons and come with a 30 day money back guarantee! If for any reason you are not satisfied with the results after using hairfreé® brushes simply return them no questions asked for your refund!  

You can win your own brush!! Sponsored by Tomoson.com Here is how to win!

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.

Haircoverings.com offers a wide array of hair accessories to fit any hair style!!  You could have your hair a different way everyday!! Here are just a few of the products they offer!!:

This was a cute and stylish bandana style head band! My girls loved it and fought over it right away!! I loved the fact that it stays tied!  


Here's a little more about some of their other products!
Pre Tied Bandanas
The pre tied bandana is a hand made product from the finest materials. Each material is chosen with care in order to fit the needs of the buyer. Different types of lycra, cotton, velvet and more are specifically used for the comfort and fit of the head. Each pre tied bandana, has elastic hidden in the back to give a comfortable yet snug fit. We carry many styles from rich velvet solids to a fine lycra with appliqué or beading. These are very popular among religious wearers and those who cover their hair due to hair loss.


Cotton Square Bandanans
Whether it is solid or paisley, bandanas are a supremely versatile cloth. They make the perfect head covers, the perfect kerchief or ‘hankie’. Sometimes bandannas are made from nylon, while other times they are cotton or mesh. One thing is for certain, wearing this light material in any way will make you look stylish and cool. The colors and designs are of endless possibilities. Think of  paisley a rich red bandanna covering your hair. Envision yourself wearing a stylish  solid tangerine orange bandanna. Now close your eyes and picture a bandanna hair scarf in a striking leopard style animal print. The possibilities are endless.

Tichels Headscarves
The Israeli tichels, also known as headscarves or mitpachot, are one of the most interesting products as they can be worn in many different styles. Some of these classy looks are: Dutch Style, Bun, Crown, The Classic Tie and many more. The fabric that is used is a very soft viscose or cotton. The colors range from soft pastel to deep primary. This headscarf is worn for hair loss, religion, to protect ones hair from the sun, or just a bad hair day.  


Headbands - Wide - Hard - Soft
A headband is a useful product that draws the hair away from the eyes and face. There are headbands made of soft cotton that can be tied in the back of the neck with the two ends. Many headbands have elastic in the back which makes it easier to wear by just slipping it over the head. Hard headband are made from plastic and come with many exotic designs and appliqués. Many hard headbands come with teeth to help pull the hair back neatly. Whether going for the soft cotton or the hard plastic headband the array of styles and colors are endless.


Beret - Hats - Caps
Winter hats, summer berets, whatever season- there is something for you. A ribbed pull on beanie hat with decorative flowers is a must on those leafy Fall days. A heavy crochet hat or a woolen beret would be perfect for that snowy winter day. How about a pastel colored, soft cotton hat? Perfect for spring. Try our lightweight soft cotton beret for a fun summer day. You love hats? Wear one all year long.


Hair Accessories - Clips - Ponys
Wearing an accessory can dress up your look. From studded pony holders to beaded clips, there is one to match everything you own. There are jaw clips, hair combs, barrettes, banana clips, bar clips and many more. They each have a unique decoration including beads, sequins, stones, crystals, prints, lace…… There is always one for you.

You can win  your own headband!!
