The little mother and the once ugly cabinet

Once upon a time there was a sad, lonely and unattractive storage cabinet....

(Before)

It was aching for love and attention when a determined little mother met the lonely cabinet on a hot summers day.

She patted the cabinets doors and said, "Come with me, My dear, I will not let you wait another day feeling and looking the way that you do," " You will look Beautiful and Fresh, and everyone will wish they had you all to themselves"

(Sanded//primed)

The little mother knew just what to do, she raced around and gathered her supplies and went to work the very next morning. She cared for her sweet little baby and was even attentive to her husband as she worked, worked worked.. all.. day.. long..

After applying a couple coats of fresh paint, hugs and kisses...

The Cabinet smiled at her with the sunniest smile the little mother had ever seen (Besides her baby's smile of course)

The perfect shades of yellow, gray and white couldn't help but smothering the cabinet in love.

(After)

And when the little mother stepped away from the cabinet, after a full days work.. a tear fell from cheek.

She knew that this cabinet was the most beautiful cabinets of all the cabinets.

The End.

* Seriously. I can't get enough of this cabinet. It turned out incredible.

This is for my salon-- and it is going to be Perfect!

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!
