I’ve had hair dryers spontaneously die – it’s usually when I am halfway through my head and running late to an important meeting/date/party.
It’s frustrating, for sure. But it can be way worse. A faulty hair dryer can KILL you.
This morning in my news-reading, I saw the horrifying tale of a Pakistani diplomat who died of an electric shock while using a hairdryer in the bathroom,
M Khan Afridi, political counsellor at Pakistan’s High Commission here, collapsed after taking a shower late on Sunday, a Pakistani diplomat said. “It was probably caused by an electric short circuit,” the diplomat said on condition …read more

In truth, I already owned three pretty darn fancy hair dryers…but I couldn’t help but want to try the new Nano Ultra Light 1900 by H2Pro when I read about it.
It’s super light weight (just over 12 ounces) with 2 speeds and 3 heat settings, has seals in moisture with ceramic tourmaline.
The way it works is by combining Nano Ti + Nano TiO + Nano Ag – all this crazy nano action keeps hair shiny and healthy – I also love the cool shot setting, which can be used in a lot of style choices.
Plus it comes in pink…I think …read more

A couple of weeks before I started writing for Beauty Gizmo, funny thing happened to my really old hair dryer. It just died. It just completely blew up and died. It was one of those funny things but not really. Know what I mean? It was an old hair dryer though so it wasn’t really a surprise. Nevertheless, I considered it a major beauty disaster. I also found it ironic how and when it happened. See, my routine after shower is as follows :

dry up
brush my teeth
moisturize, moisturize, moisturize

Then I would apply mousse all over my hair for volume. …read more

  
WOW. I knew that I was scouting for a hair dryer with my puffy hair, but I didn’t know I was looking for love til I found this online! ( now, that was way too cheesy! haha! )
Hellloooo my future CHI Pink Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer! Pink, pink, pink!
Checking its features, I’m already sold with this feature,

I must say that my lashes are horribly poker straight. Give it three seconds, and my well-curled lashes are all straight again. My friend even wondered why I don’t curl my lashes and apply mascara but in fact, I have painstakingly spent an hour to fix myself up – curling the lashes, and applying mascara included. I want to buy myself a heated eyelash curler, but what am I going to do with my three Shu Uemura eyelash curlers? ( no, I’m not bragging that I have alot, it’s just that that’s what I get from friends every year when …read more

To be honest, I loved the time when my hair was rebonded because I never ever had to use any styling tool – I shower, condition my hair, and apply my serum, and I am ready to face the day with great hair. Thing is, when my rebonded hair was looking not so rebonded no more, I would find myself whipping my hair iron to keep things “straight” again.
But the thing is- I don’t want stick straight. I want bouncy, bouncy, beautiful hair. I also want my layers enhanced with some mini-wave. And I know, it can only be …read more

It was a superb day for me as I visited the ultimate favorite place of mine – the salon! ( it is revered. Haha! ). I had my hair cut ( so long, my precious crowning glory ) all because of my envy for Phoebe. No, actually, I’m to attend a wedding this Saturday and I need a new ‘do to sport with the dress that I pained to fit in for an entire month.
Anyway, I had a haircut! I was extra happy that the stylist did a great job on my hair as she promised to give my hair …read more

One of the most intruiging products come from home tv shopping – innovative kitchen gadgets, automobile accessories, and even beauty gadgets. Although the beauty gadgets that are given great airtime by these tv networks, it definitely is a challenge for the consumer to see which products work, and which don’t.
Years way back, when home tv shopping started selling beauty gadgets, my local forum was flooded with excited posters, wanting to try the RevoStyler. Revostyler is a rotating hair brush that promises to make hair shine, get more volume, and give it some gorgeous bounce ( like commercial models have them …read more
