Customer Reviews:

simply amazing!!!
I have Botticelli frizzy curls AND live in a very humid place. Found Devachan on the internet and was craving for this tool. I finally received it from Amazon and tried it. I can’t believe it took so long for someone to design this!! I’m in love with Devafuser! It is like a very gentle hand in your hair, so the roots are not flattened and you can actually get the air in between the strands without messing with the curls. I have accepted my curls when I was a teenager and have since been tracking products and tools for curly hair. I thought I had it all figured out and then I found the whole Deva line! My hair is getting more compliments then ever for it’s healthy looks. Thank you Lorraine and all people from Devachan Salon. Next time in NY I will pay you a visit!

love it!!!
The best hair dryer I’ve ever had. I have moderately curly, thick hair. With this dryer if my hair is wet or damp, it dries my it with no frizz and adds lots of body. I recommend it to anyone with curly hair. The defusser is doing the scrunching for you as you blow.

not crazy about this
I have curly hair, and it takes about two hours for my hair to dry without a dryer. I read this was supposed to take the frizz away etc.
This is no different than any other hair dryer with a difuzzer, it is only more expensive. My hair looks better when I use just a regular fan to dry it

Jose Eber Curling Iron
I feel this curling iron works just as great as the one you can purchase in the shopping mall and this one costs less than half of the mall curling iron.

Great curling iron
If you want great curls that will last a day and the next if you don’t wash it out this is the curling iron for you. I love this kind of curling iron. My mom bought one during Christmas at the mall for over 100.00, i wanted one but really didn’t want to spend that much. I found this one on amazon and it is worth every penny i spent. Now i want to buy the bigger size also. You will love this curling iron, they are not like the typical curling iron you will buy from the store.

Customer Reviews:

Amika Ultra Premium Hair Straightener - AMAZING RESULTS!!!
A very dear friend shared her stories about the amazing results she witnessed as she allowed a rep for the Amika flat iron to straighten her daughter’s hair on several occasions at a mall kiosk in Delaware and strongly recommended that the flat iron would probably do wonders on my hair also…so I asked the price because I assumed it would be a bit pricey given the results she described especially on thick textured ethic hair we have in common. She suggested I come & experience the results before buying but since we both do our share of bargain hunting…I took my chances and searched for the Amika product on Amazon & was pleased to find a premium flat iron that retails for over $300.00 for only $63.00 with free shipping. I received the flat iron within a few days & used it last night and was pleasantly surprised to get the same results if not better than a trip to the salon!!! I’ve gotten so many compliments on my hair this morning and I can honestly say that this Amika hair straigtener is awesome & the results were far better than I’d imagined they’d be…FINALLY salon results at HOME!!

Great!!
Great flat iron, finally no frizz or breakage! I like it better than the Chi Nano, and it’s a much better price!

Customer Reviews:

Great dryer!
I just got the Pibbs dryer about 5 weeks ago. I had a cheaper dryer that took me 1 and 1/2 hours to dry my hair and even then it still wouldn’t be completely dry. This Pibbs dryer completely dries my hair in half the time and my hair is shiny! I just love it. I haven’t gone to my hair dresser for a roller set since I got it. Well worth the money.

Completed Satisfied
I wanted a bonnet dryer that would significantly cut my drying time from 90 minutes to half the time I take to do my weekly hair regiment and also give me that superb salon experience.After reading the reviews, I decided to invest in the Phibbs dryer. I also delayed writing this review, because I wanted to be very careful that I was not singing the praises, for a product what would make me regret my actions. After using the dryer, I must say that,my drying time is significantly reduced from 90 to 40 minutes. It also has great features such as a timer and good heat and air flow that allows the user to comfortable sit under. I would not be true to this review if I did not have a con - It does spark, when plugged into an outlet if the timer and heat is set before. However, if the user is careful and follows safety directions, this will not occur. I absolutely love my Phibbs dryer and will have many relaxing and enjoyable times using this product.

Great Hair Dryer
I got this dryer as a Christmas gift from my husband. This was the best gift I ever got!!!!!! It was very easy to put together and I did it myself. I love my hair dryer, it gets my very thick natural shoulder length hair dry in no time at all. I use it all the time, to deep condition my hair and dry it. I can get the best roller sets now, everything comes out so nice and shiny. Be careful because it gets really hot. The air flow is very good and I can roll it all over the house. I have gone through so many table top hair dryers and it would take forever to get my hair dry. Don’t waste your money on junk and just get this, you won’t be sorry.

Customer Reviews:

Good buy
Really good straightener. Works fast & better than most & excellent price. I am glad i bought it.

cracked ceramic plate
I liked the way it smoothed my hair. I’ve had this flat iron 3 years and one of the ceramic panels has cracked causing some pulling of my hair during usage. I would of liked to know how long this product was going to last before purchasing.

Great price, good iron
I purchased this flattening iron after my friend made fun of my hair. I knew it was time, as I cut my hair to layered shoulder-length hoping I wouldn’t have to style it. Boy, was I wrong. It sticks out in every direction!

Amazon said MSRP is a whopping $150-200+, so I went with it. However, I must admit I have seen it at many other places for under $40 as well and therefore find it hard to believe it’s worth that much without pure ceramic plates.

This review is for hair of average to thinner than average thickness that is naturally wavy - my hair is in decent health, though it can get dried out extremely easily by hair irons.

HerStyler Iron Pros:

1. Heats very quickly - ready in about 30 seconds
2. Ceramic plates are very smooth, no area on the iron can snag on your hair
3. Heat doesn’t penetrate deep into the follicles. Rather, flattens it while sealing it shut. Leaves hair shiny and untangled for the rest of the night. After washing hair, hair still has most of original shine and bounce.
4. Even when used on damp hair, it is still able to straighten it without doing too much damage. (Do NOT iron your hair when wet! It strips your hair of water, along with its natural moisture, heavily damaging it.)
5. Very lightweight
6. Fabulous look - and price.

(A Plus): Comes in beautiful, padded, matching satin bag

Cons:

1. No temperature control or indicator - there is only one on/off button. We need about 400 degrees F for regular, good styling. But damaged hair needs about 300 degrees.
2. Perhaps due to its small size, you must run the iron through hair very slowly, many times before it becomes perfectly straight. Larger plates tend to need fewer runs.
3. I would think something worth $150-$220 would have PURE ceramic, perfectly aligned plates like the ones professional beauticians use. Again, this is why I find it hard to believe the stated MSRP.

Overall this price is good, the iron looks great, and if you don’t need temperature control this is a good iron.

Customer Reviews:

Conditioner,
What attracted me to this Kiss My Face Conditioner, was the fact that its ingredient list is all natural and free of the usual chemical offenders found in most commercial brands (no parabens, SLS, etc.).

This Conditioner has a pleasing yet subtle fragrance and is quite effective in getting the hair “squeaky”. But still has some Toxic cosmetic safety ingredients in it.

I will continue to use this product and would certainly recommend it to other bald men.

INGREDIENTS:
Certified Organic Floral Waters of Lavender, Hibiscus, Lemongrass, Water, Infusion of Certified Organic Herbs of Horsetail, Rose Hips, Lemon, Red Raspberry, Thyme, Certified Organic Aloe Vera, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Glycerin, Stearalkonium Chloride, Certified Organic Jojoba Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth 20, Lavender Oil, Green Tea Extract, Certified Organic Sunflower Oil, Wheat Protein, Wheat Amino Acids, Tocopherol, Lecithin, Panthenol, Lime Oil, Caprylic Acid, Glycine, Guar, Potassium Sorbate,
Citric Acid

Stearalkonium Chloride = A chemical used in hair conditioners and creams. Causes allergic reactions.

Stearalkonium chloride was developed by the fabric industry as a fabric softener, and is a lot cheaper and easier to use in hair conditioning formulas than proteins or herbals, which do help hair health. Toxic.

Other moderate concerns for this ingredient: Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive). Lesser or emerging concerns for this ingredient: Neurotoxicity, Ecotoxicology, Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs).

Nice scent, gentle product
I have the shampoo and creme rinse on auto delivery. I use more creme rinse than shampoo and have to order it more often. Love the lime scent.
