Hot Packaging, Cool results

OK, I admit it. I fell for the cute packaging again. I found these products by Beyond the Zone at Sally Beauty Supply and I thought I would give it a try. The saleswoman swore that everyone who used this product "loved it" although she hadn't used it herself. It was on sale, buy two get one free so I bought three products from the line.

- Turn up the Heat Protection Spray: sprayed on misty and almost looked oily. After using the flat iron, my hair become dry and straw-like.

The other two products were Straight Shot smoothing serum and Super Sexy Styling Sauce. The others did not do much better. I was disappointed again.

I do love Sally Beauty Supply for actual supplies such as brushes, nail supplies and styling tools but their actual hair products have always let me down. It is a shame since they are so conveniently located in most towns.

Do you love your flat iron spray as much as I love my yellow bottle? Leave a comment so we can share in your good fortune!

To Chi or not to Chi?

Cosmo has this great article on Lust-worthy hair for less. They mention in the article that it is not worth it to spend lots of money on luxe styling tools. And that's it! Where are the details? I talk to my friends and they swear by the CHI and then there is the T3. I found the one at Sally's beauty supply (Hot Tools) to work great. But is it damaging my hair more than the double the price CHI? Am I missing out on a type of ceramic that mine doesn't have?

I will be doing some more research on this poing but thought I would throw it out there. Afterall, flat is in (at least today).
