What to Know Hairmax Lasercomb Professional 12

August 18, 2015 · Leave a Comment

August is Hair Loss Awareness Month, and Lee is going to introduce us to one of the products she is using for her hair loss!

Well, I finally committed to using the Hairmax Laser Comb Professional 12 for the recommended full 16 weeks to see if it works for me. I have used it sporadically, but now I’m going to use it consistently. It’s been only two weeks since I’ve been using it, so it is too soon to expect any results, but based on what I’ve read, I’m very hopeful. It has been very easy to incorporate into my routine; I typically do it after dinner while watching television.

Before laying down my cold hard cash, I read many user reviews and located online the company’s actual submission to the FDA for approval. It was both interesting and reassuring. In the pre-approval studies, the average increase in new hairs per square inch for the closest situation to mine was 129. In this case, I will be more than happy to be “average,” and the ease of use will make maintenance easy. I’ll keep you apprised of my results along the way!

Why We Love T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i Ion Generator Hair Dryer

April 29, 2014 · Leave a Comment

I’ve talked about my love for T3 dryers many, many times before (I did a quick search on Style Chicks and found two pages of articles in which we’ve mentioned this magical line of dryer.) In March my beloved Featherweight konked out (I got a lot of use out of that one), so I decided to replace with the current top of the T3 line, the T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i.

I love, love, love it.

About T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i

The marketing writeup says it dries hair 7 times faster. They don’t say faster than what, but once I tried it, I was a believer. The outer shaft dries crazy fast, the cuticle retains moisture. Fantastic.

There are three settings for both heat and speed. The highest speed setting is like a wind tunnel – my joke with my sister Lyn is that if one of us is using it, the other one just needs to stand in the general proximity to get a decent rough dry (I didn’t say it was funny, just said it was our joke.) I try to use low heat whenever possible, but when I’m in a rush I use the highest heat setting, and I have to say, my hair is no worse for wear than if I used the low heat setting. The speed of drying really helps to minimize damage.

The Diffuser

And it leaves my hair soooooo soft and bouncy. I purchased the diffuser separately as the diffuser that I used with my last T3 does not fit this model, which is a shame. But $30 added for the diffuser isn’t a terrible price for soft, bouncy, super shiny curls. I’ve been using Oscar Blandi Glossing Cream as my styling product lately and the curls last all day, defined and glossy. It’s a good combination.

A great brush comes in the package but I haven’t really used it, nor have I used the concentrator consistently. The times I have used the concentrator on my roots produced fantastic volume – I should really use it more.

Now there is the price. A MSR of $250 is steep as an initial outlay. It is also ridiculously inexpensive when it comes down to the price per use (T3 dryers last forever), and the drying time it saves you. For those reasons, I consider this a steal.

Find it at Beauty.com for $250. Go get it now. I mean it. It is awesome. 🙂

Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer How to Best Use

REVIEW of the Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer

Trying to get ringlets to go (and stay) straight is never an easy task – and I never met with success until recently. My hair never had any volume if I blew it out straight, and whatever product I used always dulled out shine.

Granted, I like my curly hair, but I like having options as well. So I was understandable thrilled when I tried the Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer.

I’ve been using Tourmaline Blow Dryers for a few years now – I love the speed of drying and the extra shine they give.

But the versatility of the Conair dryer really sets it apart.

What are the Benefits of Tourmaline for Hair?

Tourmaline is a mineral that is used on this hairdryer. It helps hair retain moisture by speeding up the drying process. This prevents extra moisture loss.

This can benefit dry or damaged hair.

How does the dryer attachment work?

The dryer attachment is a lot like a standard diffuser, but it has a comb on one end. This is great for whatever style you are going for – if you are drying your hair curly, the short comb is perfect for lifting your roots to dry them in order to get volume at the crown.

How to Best Use the Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer

If you are drying your hair straight, separate your hair into sections, and slowly run your hair through the comb.
I find I can get great volume if I wrap my hair around my head as I guide the dryer through – follow your hair in the opposite direction of it’s growth around your forehead.
Move on to the next section when each section is dry.
I end up with tons of volume and pin-straight, shiny hair.

The two products that I find work best for this method are Frederic Fekkai All-Day Hair Plump and Frederic Fekkai Coiff Controle Ironless Straightening Balm. Both of them work if you want to get curly hair as well.

Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer Blow Dryer TIPS

1. It can dry large sections but smaller sections give a smoother finish

2. rough dry hair about 50% with the attachment off. Then straighten with the attachment.

3. The felt coating on the teeth keeps hair smoother but also needs frequent cleaning.

4. Use the black buttons on the side to swivel the comb attachment at any angle. This is useful for bangs and side pieces.

4. Start from the underneath of your hair with the wet hair in a clip. Take a section at a time

5. Optional: While hair is still warm, roll it in a curler while it cools to set the style
