Zippity Doo's Head Lice Prevention Products Review & Giveaway

Growing up many of us had probably had lice or known someone who has. I will admit, I had lice in middle school, which I got from my 7 year old sister.  Since I had terribly curly hair, my parents decided it would be better to shave my head to 1 in. long than to deal with the lice.  Bad idea on their part, but it did make it easy to get rid of the lice. This was pretty much the worst time of my life-I was horribly teased for being a "poodle" and couldn't explain that I had been forced to shave it because of my parents.  I was too embarrassed to tell anyone I had lice.

I wish I had a good product back then that could have helped to prevent the horrible incident that shaped my adolescence.  I have worried about what would happen if my kids got lice. Of course I wouldn't take the "easy" route and shave their heads.  But I would like to find a great alternative-like using products that prevent head lice.  I may have found the answer-Zippity Doo's Head Lice Prevention Products!



Product Description
Why treat head lice when you can prevent it. Zippity Doo's head lice prevention products include: shampoo, conditioner, gel, detangler, and shield spray.  Affordable, daily prevention that eliminates harsh and costly treatment as well as the hassles associated with head lice infestation. 

This product doesn't smell the greatest, so make sure when you use the sprays you are doing it in a ventilated area.  But I truly think these products do work.  I haven't heard of any outbreaks, so I haven't been able to really test it. But I have used them on my daughter who goes to kindergarten and so hopefully it will prevent it this spring! I think the smell alone should repel the little creepy crawlers! The detangling spray works well at getting the knots out, and the shield spray for the finishing touch is great.  This is a great product for anyone with little ones in school!

Conair Xtreme Instant Heat Multisized Hot Rollers Review and Giveaway! (*2 winners*)

I have always had super curly hair. But not always the type of curls that I want. Mine are tight, little curls.  When it gets cut short my hair kind of waves. It can be frustrating to never get exactly what I want from my hair.  Well I was recently offered the chance to review the Conair Xtreme Instant Heat™ Multisized Hot Rollers  and I was so excited! 

The rollers come in 3 different sizes, which works great for getting beautiful curls just like I wanted!  Something unique to these rollers is that the clips are heated, so you get total heat all around the curl, not just from the roller itself.


Here is my hair after using the rollers:


This is my daughter Shae, we used the Conair You curl curling iron on her hair!

The rollers heated up super fast, which was great when you are short on time! They set and curl within about 10-15 minutes, depending on your hair type.


 Product Features:
■75 seconds – fastest heat-up for the perfect style


■Dual heat comes from both the clip and the roller for extra hold

■Ceramic technology – for better heat transfer and longer-lasting curls

■20 ceramic multi-sized rollers – for beautiful curls and volume

■8 jumbo rollers (1.25")

■6 large rollers (1")

■6 medium rollers (.75")

■20 heated clips

■Stay-cool end rings

■Ready dot

■On/Off switch

■Power indicator light

■5-foot line cord

■UL listed

■Limited one-year warranty
 

Anyone can use this product! It is simple to use:
HOW TO CURL YOUR HAIR

1. Place ends of hair on roller and wind toward scalp. Roll up hair firmly. Remove clip from heated post and secure over roller. Place another clip on an aluminum post for heat-up. Continue to add clips to heating post as rollers are added to hair.

2. The firmness of the curl is regulated by the diameter of the roller, and the length of time the roller is left in your hair.

3. For tight, firm curls, use smaller rollers and leave in the hair for at least ten minutes before removing. For soft, wavy curls, use larger rollers and remove rollers after a shorter period of time.

4. Removing roller: hold roller in one hand while removing heated clip with the other. Gently drop roller (DO NOT PULL) and let curl bounce back after roller has been completely removed. Let cool for one minute for a firmly set curl, and then style your hair into a look that lasts for hours.

IMPORTANT: After using the hairsetter several times, you will find the best roller selection, and the best timing for the texture of your hair and for the result you desire.

THE IONIZING FUNCTION GENERATES NEGATIVE IONS THAT CAN

• neutralize positive charge on

flyaway, frizzy hair

• eliminate static electricity

• contribute to shine

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.

Infiniti by Conair You Curl Curling Iron Review and Giveaway!

*Unit will not reach stabilized temperature within 30 seconds.



Some tips for use:
How To Use


1.Take a 1-inch wide section of hair, starting 2 inches from the scalp.

2.Wind the section of hair around the thicker portion of the barrel toward the cool tip.

3.Hold the end of the hair in place at the cool tip for 5 to 8 seconds depending on hair type, and then release. Because there is no clip, you can easily curl hair without kinks. For tighter, bouncier curls, roll less hair. For loose, free-flowing curls, roll more hair. To "set" the curl, do not comb or brush hair until it cools.

4.Repeat process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hair style you desire.

Expert Tips
For tight curls wrap small sections of hair tightly and hold for a few seconds


For looser curls wrap wider sections of hair

For today's look, don't wind hair all the way – leave a few inches straight at the roots

I used this curling iron on my daughters hair.  Shae is such a good little girl when it comes to mommy messing with her hair! When she came home from school we got started! It took us about 20 minutes to get all her hair curled! I honestly couldn't stop talking about it for hours!! I was calling Grandma and daddy and everyone telling them to come see Shae's hair!  It is even quick enough to do in the morning before school.  I was also worried that maybe she would get burned, but everything went amazingly well! The only complaint was that sometimes I pulled a little tight when rolling her hair.  I also was able to do it with my 3 year old's hair who has real short hair and it made cute little ringlets! Also was able to keep from burning her (although I did get my self once or twice!)

Conair InfinitiPro Salon Performance Hair Dryer Review

Imagine getting that amazing salon blow out at home...beautiful hair for a fraction of the price!! Conair makes it affordable to own salon quality products for less! The InfinitiPro is a sleek 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 their little heads and we used it right after bed time. I brushed their hair, then dried it, fluffing with my fingers. For a straight look, I used the brush while I dried the hair to make it sleek and straight. Their hair looked extra shiny and smooth! Plus they had a blast when I gave them the “wind in their hair” look by blowing the cold shot in their face. The little one got scared of the dryer at first, but after watching her two older sisters get their hair done, she wanted her turn too!!

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.

Drying Basics:

1. Shampoo and condition your hair with products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel dry hair to remove excess moisture. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, start at a lower setting and direct hot air through a section of hair at a time. Move dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct air flow at hair not scalp. Clouds of negatively charged ions will help to reduce static electricity, control frizzy flyaways and contribute to your hair's shine.

2. Keep dryer's intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.

3. To avoid over drying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for any extended length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style.

4. For quick touch ups, between shampoos, damper hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.

5. When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a warmer temperature setting, then finish styling with Cold Shot feature to quickly close hair shaft and lock in style.

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!!

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.

When I washed my kids with it, bath time actually went smoother! It didn't irritate their eyes and it made the tub bubbly! Great smelling too, like oranges. The best part is that it doesn't have the the icky additives, petroleum and parabens that other products do. Even the bottle is recycled!! How great is that? You can be sure that you are doing good for your child AND the environment! The packaging is even super cute, with artwork from Eric Carle!! Everybody remembers the "Hungry Little Caterpillar"! It was a favorite when I was a kid, and now it is a favorite of my kids!  Oh, and did I mention its only $8 a bottle?!? That is a deal!!
