Pro Silk Ceramic Mini-Flat Iron: For the hard to reach places!

Hello Divas!

I hope your Monday is going well!

Recently I was given the opportunity to try Pro Silk's Ceramic Mini-Flat Iron. As I previously reported, I try not to use a flat iron on a regular basis. However, if my blow out starts to puff out and I need to smooth the edges or if I want a little body, I will use one.

If you need to smooth out your edges or other hard to reach places to maintain your blow out, this is the perfect flat iron! The plates on this flat iron are extremely tiny; only a half of an inch in diameter. So you can smooth out edges and roots with ease. I used this iron for the first time last week before I went in for another blow out. My blow out was pretty much gone. Georgia humidity! I had a meeting to attend and the only style I could manage was an up do. I whipped out Pro Silk's Ceramic Mini Flat Iron and smoothed out all of my edges. The heat was hot enough to get the job done quickly. In addition, the small size allowed me to get all the edges and not so straight parts with ease. After using this flat iron, I felt confident that I had a decent hairstyle. Divas I tell ya this is the perfect flat iron for smoothing and maintaining straight styles. I did attempt to create a curl with this iron and that was a no go. The iron is too small for that! LOL! But for straightening, it is genius.

Pro Silk's Ceramic Mini-Flat Iron retails for $19.95, which is a steal! It has not hit stores just yet, but you can order by phone and have it shipped to you. The number is 1.866.434.8100.

Toodles!

Alterna Hemp Organics Straightening Balm: Heat Protectant and Blow-Out Maintenance in One!

Hello Divas!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! The weather in Atlanta was beautiful and gorgeous!

Divas I have been using a new product on my hair that I am madly madly in love with. It is Alterna's Hemp Organics Straightening Balm. My good friend Natasha turned me on to this product when I showed up at her house and my hair was a big cloud of pouf! Georgia humidity! I had my flat iron to straighten it out and she suggested that I use the Straightening Balm to maintain the straight look. Of course, I gave it a try. After 7 hours out on the town, my flat-ironed hair looked as good as new! It was still sleek and shiny. No pouffy hair! No kidding. Now I have been using this product every time I flat-iron my hair.

First this product is super lightweight. It does not weigh down your hair. It actually feels like a facial primer. In addition, you only have to use a tiny bit of the product to coat your hair. I just take a quarter size amount in my palm and run it through my hair. This amount is more than enough. I then run the flat iron through small sections of my hair. This product makes my hair straight but also light and full of body! But the genius of this product is that it is also a heat protectant. So while this product is straightening my hair, it is also protecting my hair from heat damage. Boy I love a two for one deal!

Alterna Organics are enriched with Certified Organic Botanicals to strengthen your hair and infuse it with nutrients that prevent damage. Nice!

I love this product! A 5.1 oz tube retails for $19 and you can purchase it from Ulta.

Toodles!
