Beauty Tips for Women: Art Naturals Ceramic Hair Straightening Brush Review

I received the Art Naturals Ceramic Hair Straightening Brush at a discount in exchange for my review. I noticed that the box in which the brush is held had one of the seals broken. I tried to reserve judgment as to whether or not this item had been used simple from the seal being broken.

The contents with included the brush along with the bottle of argon oil and an instruction manual. I picked up the brush to find that the handle was greasy with finger print on it and the top back part of the brush is dirty/dusty.  The bristle is also dirty/dusty.  The manual has grease stains on it.  I checked the argon oil bottle but the cap still had the seal indicating that it had not been opened; however, the bottle was also covered with grease.  To me this item has already been used.  The product feels a bit flimsy.  I found that the placement of the controls troublesome as your thumb rests in the area; as I brushed the hair I would hit the control buttons changing the heat setting.  I found that I still need to section the hair into small parts to get good coverage with the brush.  I tried passing it as if I was brushing my hair but it just gets tangled. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 636

This brush is not a good substitute for a flat iron. It helps with smoothing frizz but will not achieve that super straight sleek hair.  I was not impressed with this straightening brush.

Beauty Tips for Women: Scunci Upzing Double Stretch Comb

On the blog is a beauty product review of the Scunci Medium Upzing Double Stretch Comb.  I’m always looking for hair gadgets to try.  The Upzing is very easy to use; just insert one comb and stretch the second comb over to the opposite side and slide combs together.

I have curly hair and the Upzing is great for creating hairdos that don’t damage/tangle my curls.  I love how fashionable it looks and how easy it is to showcase my curls.  PhotoGrid_1409614650038

Beauty tips for Women: Blow drying your hair using Turbo Power’s Turbo 1500

Of all the beauty tips for hair that I have heard and practiced, the one that is the most important to me is the investment in a good blow dryer.  I’m not a professional hairdresser, beautician, hair stylist or nail technician but I do enjoy dabbling in those areas.  I host what I like to call Blow Drying parties.  I mainly do friends and families hair Fridays for the weekend or Sundays to start off the workweek.  So I need a reliable blow dryer that will get the job done.

Here is a picture of my trusty blow dryer made by Turbo Power Inc. – Turbo 1500.  I purchased this blow dryer in 2001, so that is 11 years with the same blow dryer.  The Turbo 1500 has never broken down on me.  Granted I do clean it and take care not to mangle the cord.  This Turbo 1500 is a professional stylist blow dryer made in Italy.

Until I had purchased this 11 years ago, I would go through blow dryers like water.  I have curly hair and can blow dry my hair straight without any issues using this blow dryer.  Here is a picture of my hair curly then blown dry straight with the Turbo 1500.

Here is a picture of a blow dry I did over the weekend along with the products I used.  I totally forgot to take a picture of her hair before hand.  The hair care products are Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, John Frieda’s Frizz-Ease Leave In Conditioner.  As you can tell she has highlights that look awesome but all the dying has dried out her hair.  The combination of products used gave her hair a lot hydration and conditioning, which she needed.  I used my trusty Wet Brush to detangle her hair and an oval shaped brush from Goody – Get Smooth Volume Natural Shine Boar Bristles (Review coming) to dry her hair.

To finish everything off I did a simple manicure that goes with everything using Essence Modern Romance and Space Queen over it.

If you are looking for a blow dryer I strongly recommend a blow dryer made by Turbo Power Inc.  Mine is an oldie but goody and is still working great after 11 years.  So you can imagine what the newest ones can do.
