No real "grown up" is going to wear this.
I don't think anyone can actually wear this and feel confident.
I would just feel plain.SILLY!

Wet to Dry Flat Iron Review


NuME WET&DRY Flat iron
Yes.
You read correctly.
A Wet TO Dry Flat IRON.
Let me translate...
A flat iron that YOU can use on WET hair that not only straightens it, but also DRIES it!!

Say Whaaaaaat!?
That's exactly what I said!
I immediately thought that this was going to fry my hair right off my head!
I was so skeptical, I just had to try this.

Let me just start off by telling you that this flat iron excites me so much I could scream!
I am just imagining all my curly clients spending a whole lot less time in my chair.
There is no need to do a complete blow out!
I can rough dry, add a heat protectant creme, section off and use the flat iron and VOILA!

Done and Done!

Here is how it went for me.
I have naturally stick straight hair as it is, but I do have my fair share of fly aways, and lots of previous color services. I was worried that my hair would be crispy after using this on my wet hair.


 
After applying my favorite heat protectant, I towel dried my hair as recommended.

Then, I sectioned out the top from the bottom,
 making it easier to get through with my comb and flat iron.
Starting from the scalp sliding it through to the ends, section by section using a comb instead of my fingers. This hair gets HOT.HOT.HOT!
And not only flat but DRY!
Awesome.
Finished.
 In no time!
Seriously this probably took me 10 minutes!

Instead of having to spend a whole 15-20 on drying it and then flat ironing, I did it all in one shot.

My hair didn't feel crunchy OR crispy.
It was super smooth and ultra soft.

I am in LOVE!

I cannot wait to bring this to work with me!

This one is for My Curly Sue.



I Love me a head of big curly hair. In fact, my husband once told me that he notices a woman with curly hair before he notices a woman with straight hair. (By the way, I have stick straight hair. :)



 Ouidad’s Rake & Shake method has made curly hair look SO incredibly easy to have!

Check out these styling tips!

-Ouidad’s Rake & Shake method is all about embracing the hair’s natural curl pattern. The key to creating beautiful curls is to create the curl pattern while damp and letting curls dry the way they were meant to, either naturally or with a diffuser. You are working with the natural curl pattern, not against it, which is what “scrunching,” blow drying or curlers can do.


-When blotting out moisture in step 1, be sure not to rub hair briskly or flip over. Both methods fragment curls and cause frizz.

-If you are looking to add height or volume, place Duckbill Clips at the root of the hair. Position clips to lift the hair evenly across the crown, working from front to back. To properly position curls, open clip no more than an inch wide. Gently slide along scalp and keep clip close to the roots.
 
-To break up any crunchy or stiff sections, rub a bit of Clear Control Pomade or Shine Glaze between your palms and in one motion smooth your hands over your hair from front to back as if you're creating a ponytail.
 
- Keep curls in place with an all over spritzing of Styling Mist.
 
-The Rake & Shake method isn’t just for long hairstyles, the method can be used on hair as little as two inches. If your hair is shorter than two inches, Ouidad suggests running styling product through the hair and positioning the curls and waves.
