PRODUCT REVIEW: SILVER BULLET HYBRID
Today I'd like to talk about a new launch from Silver Bullet, the Hybrid Straightening Brush… I've previously talked about some amazing tools from Silver Bullet, and common for all, is that I've really liked them, as the quality has been top notch and the sleek black design so stylish.
The Silver Bullet Hybrid is an Ionic Ceramic Straightening Brush straightens, and is to be used in dry hair. And to straighten, you simply brush through the hair, and you're left with super soft and smooth, and straight hair in a single pass! And what's more is that it is also frizz free, and looking shiny and healthy too, thanks to the ionic generator that helps add moisture back into the hair follicles as it is straightened.
The straightener features;
And in spite of my hair being very thick and long, using an 'ordinary' hair straightener can be very time consuming, but thanks to the Silver Bullet Hybrid, it is now not only easy, it is also very quick.
As with any other heat styler, use a little heat protection spray in my hair prior to straightening it, and then I'm good to go.
Like with other straighteners, I like to section my hair, and then when I want to add some much needed volume to my hair, I use the brush upside down - so instead of using it like a normal hair brush, I use it with the bristles of the styler facing upwards, as I find that really helps get some volume into the hair right at the roots.
Yet again, Silver Bullet has really impressed me, and I know I’ll be using this Hybrid over and over again, as I am so impressed with the results, and at how quickly I can straighten my hair. Highly recommended.

XMAS GIFT IDEAS: ELECTRICAL GIFT IDEAS FOR HER
There's something about Electrical Gadgets, and I think we can all agree, that they make life a lot easier these days, so today I have a selection of different electrical Xmas gift ideas for her..
Let's start with the teeth, as you just won't be able to resist this new Rose Gold electrical toothbrush from Philips.
The sonic toothbrush has five cleaning modes, including clean, whitening, polish, gumcare and sensitive, so you can get that custumised clean. It also has unique brushes, to help remove surface stains and keep your teeth brighter and whiter. The toothbrush as a digital display, that lights up when in use, and it gives a quick buzz when it is time to move on to the next quadrant of the teeth, to ensure that all teeth get a good clean, and none are neglected. It is super easy to charge, you simply pop the toothbrush into the included glass, which sits on a rose gold holder, which you can plug into the wall outlet, and when not charging, you can store the toothbrush in the glass. Or you can of course store it in the gorgeous pink travel case, that also doubles as a charger when you're on holidays, as then you simply connect it to your laptop, although you don't really need to, as when fully charged, it has a battery life of up to three weeks! This is a super efficient and sleek toothbrush that is nothing short of amazing - but if you don't like it, no harm done, as it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee!
For the body, what about this Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa from Braun. It's no secret that using an epilator is my all time preferred hair removal, and this new model tops anything I've ever used. The Silk Epil 9 is a 4-in-1 model that works both wet and dry, and it has pulsating active vibrations to stimulate the skin for a more gentle epilation. It also has 40 micro-grip tweezers to catch even more hair, even very short hair as short as 0.5mm, while the head of the shaver rotates to adapt to the body's contours. It also comes with two exfoliation brushes, a blue one for deep exfoliation to help avoid those dreaded ingrown hairs, and a purple exfoliation head for more sensitive areas, and for a more refined and silky soft skin. But that's not all - there's also a standard shaver head, a trimmer cap, a high frequency cap and a sensitive skin contact cap included, a total of 6 extras. The shaver has two speed settings for your personal preference (if you're new to using an epilator, the lower setting may be a little less 'painful", and it takes only 1 hour o fully charge, and then it has up to 40 minutes of battery life, which is more than sufficient to shave both legs. Compare to other epilators I've used over the past decades, I really love that this one is a wet/dry one, as I find it even quicker and easier to use in the shower, not only can I easily wash away all the small hairs, but I also find that the warm shower helps open the pores in my skin, so it is not only quicker to shave, but also less painful. This really is the ultimate shaver for super-soft hair free skin!
For the hair, what about this new Diamond Luxe Straightening Brush from VS Sassoon. This heated ceramic straightening brush straightens your hair as you brush it, all while it detangles it too, and keeps it super smooth and free from frizz thanks to the negative ions that are released as it is used. The bristles in the brush are made from heat activated silicone for additional shine. It also has three heat settings, 180 degrees suitable for fine or short hair, 190 degrees suitable for medium hair types, and 200 degrees for thick, curly or frizzy hair. I like that I can also use this on damp hair, so it saves time first having to dry it, and then straighten it afterwards. And the result is really great, not only is my hair left straight and looking healthy, but brushing it from underneath, it also creates some much needed volume at the same time.
Finally, if she is more into luscious curls, what about the Curl Revolution Styling Tong from Remington. This styler has an automatic rotating ceramic tong to make creating anything from a full head of tight curls to loose waves super quick and simple. You simply rotate it one way to roll up the hair, leave for a few moments to 'heat through' before unwinding it. I like to put a little styling mousse in my hair prior to styling it, both to protect my hair from damage, but also to make the waves last longer in my long and heavy hair. Once the hair has cooled down, I gently toussle it, and then give it a light mist with a flexible hairspray, and you're set to go. The ceramic technology helps ensure that it heats up evenly, with variable heat settings between 120C and 200C to cater for various hair types and styles. It heats up super fast, in just 90 seconds, and I really like that it also automatically shuts off, so no need to worry that you forget to do it.

PRODUCT REVIEW: EVY IQ-ONEGLIDE STYLER 1.5
Once upon a time my hair was straight, but then after my last pregnancy something has happened to my hair. It is starting to go curly. Quite curly actually, and in spite of my hair being very very long and thick, it is close to ringlets, and even my hair dress is amazed at this change. But for some reason it is mainly in the back and neck, while the front is still straigh-ish, so unless I have my hair up in pony, plait of bun, I do feel that I need to either curl it, or straighten it, so it doesn't look odd. But as my hair again is so thick and long, this is a time-consuming process, and with two little toddlers, I rarely haven't got a lot of spare time! So when the EVY iQ-OneGlide Styler, a hair straightener, landed on my desk, I was naturally beyond excited.
The EVY Professional hair stylers features a unique patterned Japanese mineral technology, which has 32 natural negative ion-generating minerals - a blend of post-volcanic minerals which work to micronise or break down water molecules so they can more easily penetrate the hair follicle, and thereby help add hydration and moisture to the hair as you style it, for a hair that’s silky smooth and healthy looking. How high-tech does that sound!!

How high-tech does that sound!!
Along with the ion-generating minerals infused into the straightening plate, the EVY iQ OneGlide also features 24-carat gold to glide through the hair more smoothly and add even deeper hydration to the hair, ensuring better inner health of the hair, and consequently less hair breakage and split ends. But the styler also has;
- A unique 3-strip plate design to allow it to move and glide through the hair without catching
- A digital temperature/d; control from 130-210 degrees Celsius
- Automatic shut-off function after 60mins
- A soft touch finish to make it easier to style and curl
- Metal ceramic heater for faster heating
- Large 1.5" plates
- 3m long rotating cord
- Heat proof roll bag for storage and travelling
So how did this EVY iQ-OneGlide Styler perform. Well for starters I am pleased to say that it really does heat up super fast, so I can immediately get on with styling my hair. And as claimed, it does glide through my hair quickly and easily without any resistance, and it takes just one go, and my hair is left super soft and smooth. And, unlike after using other hair straighteners, my hair doesn't feel like it has been dried out or distressed, but it really does look and feel super soft and smooth, and it really does look healthy and shiny, so this unique mineral technology really does seem to make a difference.
The straightener is light and easy to hold, also in a small hand, and it is easy to use thanks to the 3m long rotating cord that ensures it doesn't get tangled up. The wider 1.5" plates makes it quicker to style my hair too, as I can simply do larger and thicker sections at a time. I also love that it has a digital display so it is easy to see the heat setting, and while it is easiest and quickest to style my thick long hair with the highest, 210C setting, I do love that it has a large range of heat settings from 130-210C to cater for a range of different hair types. And often distracted by my two toddlers (and adding a bit of forgetfulness on top!), I also love the fact that the hair styler will automatically shut off after 60 minutes.
Needless to say that I have collected a range of hair styling tools over the years, but common for all, is that I do not know how to best store them, so I also love that the EVY comes with a cool back that makes both storage, and taking the styler with you on holidays, that much easier.
At $299 this EVY Professional iQ-OneGlide Styler 1.5" is not the cheapest of styler, but if you ask me, it is worth it - and if you regularly straighten your hair you'll agree, that it is a price worth paying for a styler that cares for your hair as you use it!

PRODUCT REVIEW: VS SASSOON WET AND DRY STRAIGHTENING BRUSH
Today I'd like to talk about a new launch from VS Sassoon, the Wet & Dry Straightening Brush... Everyone loves a good multi-tasking products, especially if you like me have two little ones running around your feet all the time, so its exciting to hear that VS Sassoon claims that this is a 3 in 1 product, being both a hair dryer and a straightener at the same time as it volumises the hair, in one easy movement!
According to VS Sassoon, the Wet & Dry Straightening Brush is "the simplest styling tool for your busy lifestyle. It will straighten, volumise and dry your hair in minutes. It can tackle the trickiest of manes, no problem. And, with its ionic conditioning technology and advanced ceramic plates, it will leave your hair looking and feeling fabulous. Dry, volumise and style in one Step"
The Wet & Dry brush features a tension control system with four straightening settings for different hair types, and also has an in-built detangling comb to make styling easy.
It also features ceramic plates and has an internal ionic generator to condition the hair to reduce stadic, and lave the hair smooth, shiny and free from frizz. It also has 3 heat/speed settings including a cool setting, and has 800W of drying power to make styling your hair quick and easy.
Using the Wet & Dry Brush is simple - you simply wash your hair, comb and detangle it, and apply any treatment products as you normally would. And here after you start using the Wet & Dry Brush, running it through small sections of your hair at a time until all of you hair is completely dry and straight. You can of course give it a quick blow dry prior to using the Brush to speed up the styling time. How simple is that. And because it blows as it straightens, it also adds volume to the hair at the same time, which is perfect for someone like me with long and heavy, and hence very flat hair.
Because my hair is so thick and long (just a few inches off my waist at this point, but with a hair appointment booked for a trim....), it does take some time to work through all my hair, and I'd say that it takes a good 20-25 minutes before it is completely dry and straight.
Overall, I am quite impressed with the VS Sassoon Wet & Dry Brush as it is cutting out a step in styling my hair - compared to straightening my hair when it is already dry, styling it from wet with the Wet & Dry Brush does naturally take longer, as it needs to be dried in the process too - but when comparing to how much time it would take to first blow dry it, and then straighten it, it is definitely saving time, and the result is great too. My hair is looking shiny and healthy too!
My only comment would be that the brush part could be a bit longer, and it would an even higher heat setting too, which would further speed up the styling of my long thick hair, but overall, I think this is a great hair styler and at just $62.95 it is very affordable too!

PRODUCT REVIEW: SILVER BULLET KERATIN 230 TITANIUM WIIDE PLATE STRAIGHTENER
I admit to not straightening my hair as often as I like these days. Life with a baby and a toddler is simply too busy for me to stand there forever and ever trying to straighten my thick and very long hair. And if I can't do it properly because I haven't got the time to do so, I just don't do it!
So when the opportunity to trial the Silver Bullet Keratin 230 Titanium Wide Plate Straightener came up, I happily jumped at the opportunity - because this straightener simply promises to tame even the most unmanageable hair more easily and faster than ever before.
And why is then so quick... Well, the straightener has as the name suggests plates that are wider than your average straightener with just 25mm wide plates, whereas the Silver Bullet has 38mm plates meaning that it allows you to straighten 50% more hair in just one pass!
The straightener also features;
- Friction-free 38mm titanium plates style more hair in one pass
- Adjustable heat up to 230°C
- Straightener controls on inside of handle, can’t be accidently changed
- Advanced surround heat for faster curls, flick and waves
- Ideal for use with permanent and keratin straightening systems, reducing the total time for each service
- Presented in a special Silver Bullet box which includes: a paddle brush, styling comb, 4 crocodile clips and a heat resistant mat
And I have to say that I am very impressed with this Silver Bullet Keratin 230 Titanium Wide Plate Straightener, as it really is the fastest straightener that I have every used. It not only heats up so quickly, it really also slides easily and quickly through my hair - and while I do have it at the highest setting, the fact that it only takes one quick swipe though the hair to straighten it, also means that my hair is less exposed to the heat and hence chance of getting damaged. It also leaves my hair looking so smooth and sleek, with all fly-aways and frizz tamed instantly.
But of course, you can always put it on a lower setting depending on your hair, or the type of hair style you're after. A slightly lower heat setting can also give you a 'less straight' more natural straight look!
I have to admit to only using this as a straightener, and not to create curls or waves, but regardless, I do like that the surrounds heat too, so that it can double as a 'curler' too if needed.
But the features of the Silver Bullet Straightening Iron don't stop there, as it has heaps of features. I in particularly love that the temperature control is on the inside, I mean, who hasn't by accident increased, or decreased the heat on their hair styler!
I also love that the straightener has a LED display makes to make it easy to accurately determine temperature, and the fact that it has a long swivelling cord so it doesn't get tangled up with the very first use.
I also love that it comes with a few accessories, including a quality paddle brush, a styling comb, 4 crocodile clips and heat resistant mat, which is so useful -, and something that I wish I'd had a long time ago, as I'm always so afraid that my hot stylers will leave burn marks on my vanity. And of course also worth mentioning is that the lightweight straightener also looks incredibly stylish with its matte black design.
Overall I am so impressed with this Silver Bullet Straightener, as it really does live up to its claim of straightening the hair faster. Definitely highly recommended.
Silver Bullet Keratin 230 Titanium Wide Plate Straightener - RRP: $199

PRODUCT REVIEW: ABSOLUTEHEAT HAIR DRYER AND IPS MINI HAIR STRAIGHTENER
I have quite long hair and thick hair, so when I am in a hurry, or when Melbourne’s winter chill bites, I do rely on a hair dryer. Only my current one is so old, and while still in working order, I doubt it is no longer as efficient as it once was. So when I was asked to trial the AbsoluteHeat 2500 IPS Ultra Featherweight Hair Dryer and AbsoluteHeat IPS Mini Hair Straightener, happily accepted. Here are my thoughts;
What They Say:
AbsoluteHeat 2500 IPS Ultra Featherweight Hair Dryer: Astonishingly powerful yet exceptionally light, AbsoluteHeat’s Intelligent Professional Series Ultra Hair Dryer features advanced tourmaline-ionic technology which helps prevent static and frizz while simultaneously adding volume and shine. Packed with 1875 watts of power, this dryer creates enhanced ionic output and quicker drying time without increasing the body weight, making it one of the industry’s lightest hair dryers. Comes with a two year warranty. Available in Black and Pink
RRP: $69.95 – Available from I-Glamour
AbsoluteHeat IPS Mini Hair Straightener is technologically advanced to provide you with amazing results and performance. Perfect for travelling, the Mini features ceramic-coated plates and an ergonomic shape that allows you to straighten, curl, wave and flip your hair for a variety of salon professional styles. All which adds up to a rare and provocative blend of beauty and brains! Comes with a two year warranty. Available in Purple and Pink
RRP: $29.95 – Available from I-Glamour
What I Say:
AbsoluteHeat is an American based salon professional brand of salon quality styling tools that has just become available in Australia.
My old hair dryer is black. It’s from the era where that is all you could get, so I was very happy when I received the bright pink metallic hair dryer. Such a refreshing change. And while you may think that it may look a little girly and teenager-ish, but that is far from the case, it is very stylish looking. But of course, if you prefer a more classic colour, there is also a black version available.
The next thing I noticed was how light the hair dryer is, weighing a meagre 340 grams. Incredible. I am unsure how much my old one weighs, but I do know that by the time I am finished drying my hair, my arm is tired from holding it up in the air. So it was such a relief with the AbsoluteHeat weighing so little.
The AbsoluteHeat is also extremely efficient with its 1875 watts of power that cuts down drying time of my thick hair dramatically. Again, a very refreshing change. Both in terms of the time it takes to do it, but also because surely less time, means my hair is exposed less to the heat, which surely means less damage long term!
Next is the fact that is very quiet, even when it is set at the highest/fastest of the six airflow and temperature settings. I love the fact that you have the options of so many settings, especially after being used to just a few, although I have to admit that it takes a little getting used to all the different levels of power and heat. I also love that it has a cool shot button so I can give my hair a cool blast of air to finish off with.
The hair dryer has an advanced tourmaline-ionic technology, which is designed to help prevent static and frizz while adding volume and shine. The effect of this is naturally difficult it measure, but I certainly notice that my hair looks very shiny, plus after adding my usual hair serum/hair oil, that I have minimal frizz.
Moving on to the AbsoluteHeat IPS Mini Hair Straightener I have to admit that I usually use a hair straightener that is a lot larger in size, so I can get my long thick hair done more quickly. But this mini straightener actually has a surprising power, and is perfect as either a travel straightener, or alternatively to do ‘touch ups’ on the second day, or maybe for those girls who only straighten sections of their hair or have shorter hair styles.
The hair straightener has ceramic-coated plates and it quickly heats to 204°C, distributing heat evenly to reduce damage, and to leaves your hair with a nice shine and with less frizz. It has an ergonomic shape that makes it possible to not only straighten, but also add curls and waves to your hair. Like the hair dryer it comes in a funky metallic pink colour, as well as a trendy purple.

What I Say:
AbsoluteHeat is an American based salon professional brand of salon quality styling tools that has just become available in Australia.
My old hair dryer is black. It’s from the era where that is all you could get, so I was very happy when I received the bright pink metallic hair dryer. Such a refreshing change. And while you may think that it may look a little girly and teenager-ish, but that is far from the case, it is very stylish looking. But of course, if you prefer a more classic colour, there is also a black version available.
The next thing I noticed was how light the hair dryer is, weighing a meagre 340 grams. Incredible. I am unsure how much my old one weighs, but I do know that by the time I am finished drying my hair, my arm is tired from holding it up in the air. So it was such a relief with the AbsoluteHeat weighing so little.
The AbsoluteHeat is also extremely efficient with its 1875 watts of power that cuts down drying time of my thick hair dramatically. Again, a very refreshing change. Both in terms of the time it takes to do it, but also because surely less time, means my hair is exposed less to the heat, which surely means less damage long term!
Next is the fact that is very quiet, even when it is set at the highest/fastest of the six airflow and temperature settings. I love the fact that you have the options of so many settings, especially after being used to just a few, although I have to admit that it takes a little getting used to all the different levels of power and heat. I also love that it has a cool shot button so I can give my hair a cool blast of air to finish off with.
The hair dryer has an advanced tourmaline-ionic technology, which is designed to help prevent static and frizz while adding volume and shine. The effect of this is naturally difficult it measure, but I certainly notice that my hair looks very shiny, plus after adding my usual hair serum/hair oil, that I have minimal frizz.
Moving on to the AbsoluteHeat IPS Mini Hair Straightener I have to admit that I usually use a hair straightener that is a lot larger in size, so I can get my long thick hair done more quickly. But this mini straightener actually has a surprising power, and is perfect as either a travel straightener, or alternatively to do ‘touch ups’ on the second day, or maybe for those girls who only straighten sections of their hair or have shorter hair styles.
The hair straightener has ceramic-coated plates and it quickly heats to 204°C, distributing heat evenly to reduce damage, and to leaves your hair with a nice shine and with less frizz. It has an ergonomic shape that makes it possible to not only straighten, but also add curls and waves to your hair. Like the hair dryer it comes in a funky metallic pink colour, as well as a trendy purple.
Overall these are fantastic products of a very high quality and
consequently I find they very reasonably priced. And they look so funky too! So
if you are on the lookout for a new hairdryer or hair straightener, then I
highly recommend that you check out the range from AbsoluteHeat – only problem will be which colour
to pick!
