Farouk Chi Curling & Flat Irons

Farouk Chi Flat Irons, are without a doubt, the best flat irons on the market. I have used others and have been not been pleased. I find that a lot of flat irons really grab on to your hair and yank it out. Chi Flat Irons, don't do that. Their ceramic plates are placed in such a way that you don't have to worry about your hair being pulled out. Chi also has a great line of hair dryers and curling irons. They also have travel sized tools and 2 in 1 Ceramic Auto Digital Curling Iron, which is a flat iron and curling iron in one! I really love their tools and I have been using them for years, I wouldn't switch brands, because I really don't think there is anything that is better. They also have a large line of hair care products as well as organic products. I have yet to try them. I am currently looking into buying a curling iron, but I am having a hard time trying to decided what sized barrel I should get, 1 inch or 1 - 1/2 inch...such a dilemma!

Winter Hair Rescue

Two more months of winter left! That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how optimistic you are. Pessimist or optimist you are going to need to protect your hair from the dreaded cold weather. For some help, here are some tips from a stylist at Fiorio Hair Salon:

1. Professional brands of deep conditioner treatments, rich in keratin will help to prevent hair from getting dry and damaged over the winter months. The benefits include depositing back extreme shine and a long lasting hydration (1 to 2 times a week depending on the type of hair).
Try - K-PAK Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor or K-PAK Intense Hydrator.

2. Leave -in conditioner provides lightweight moisture, while preventing static electricity and
detangling hair from irritating winter fly-aways.
Try - K-PAK Leave-In Protectant

3. Choosing a shampoo and conditioner with the right PH of 4. 5 - 5.5 and Hydro-Nutritive actives will greatly improve strength and shine.
Try - AG Tech One Daily Shampoo, it has a PH of 4.5 -5.5.

4. Using styling products with agents that protect hair from the heat of styling tools will prevent hair from becoming dry. 5. For a quick fix, if your hair is not behaving well due to static, make sure you carry in your purse a dryer sheet (Bounce). To apply, gently sweep the sheet along the flow of your hair shape.
Try - CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protecting Spray or Biolage Thermal-Activating Spray.
