Hair Styling Tools

Some people are a hassle to buy gifts for, and no matter how hard you try you just can’t find something they’ll like: my mom is not one of those people. She begins making her list months before her birthday, and her biggest problem is that she wants too many things. When her birthday rolled around last month, I decided to get her a flat iron that she had been wanting, which I figured would be a simple enough task.

I went to a department store and was alarmed when I found an entire aisle devoted to ceramic flat irons. The task of choosing a model was daunting, and I eventually closed my eyes and chose one at random. If you are looking for a new flat iron, I recommend looking around on the internet to find a model that meets your needs, because there are definitely more than a few options out there.

As you already know, there are so many haircare products in the marketplace that are advertised to help with repairing damaged hair, curbing frizz, moisturizing dry hair, adding shine, and the list goes on an on.  If you are anything like me, you’ve tried at least a dozen of ones that have been recommended or after reading the description and instructions on a bottle, you’ve decided it might be worth trying.  While I have had some luck with a few brands, I have never been totally satisfied until now.  After a recent visit to a national hair show, I was introduced to a new product line by the name of Potions International. 

Some of you out there might already be familiar with the Potions International Skin Care products that are endorsed by Lesli Kay from the television soap The Bold And The Beautiful.  Well, Potions International has been working very hard at creating a line of haircare products that are becoming quite popular and for a good reason.  First of all, Potions International products are made in the United States.  Another great reason for using their products is that they are made with all traditionally natural ingredients as well as some newly discovered natural ingredients.

Ok, so what about this fantastic super serum?  The name is simply “Potions International Super Serum”.  This haircare product is unlike any other I have used.  Let me list the reasons I am sold on this product:

1)  Non-greasy formula – Seriously, this serum does not feel greasy or stay on your fingers with that oily/greasy after feeling.  It even quickly absorbs into the skin so you can only imagine how quickly your hair absorbs this product.

2)  Appy to both wet or dry hair – I have applied this product to the ends of my hair prior to blow drying and also after blow drying.  The serum works either way.  When my hair is wet it seems to help smooth out the style.  Applying it after help to calm down any frizz or flyaway hairs without that oily or greasy appearance.

3)  Has UV protection - Not many if any of the haircare products boast of this feature.  Let’s face it, any heat, and most especially sun exposed hair adds to drying out our hair.  The fact that this product has this built-in is just a bonus!

4)  Alcohol and Paraben Free – Why is this so important?  Well, for starters, alcohol is an ingredient that is known to dry out your hair and with prolonged use of the product that contains the alcohol, the damage increases.  Why is paraben harmful?  Parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers.  Need I say more?

5)  Enriched with organic Argan Oil - What does Argan Oil do for the product?  From anti-aging and antioxidant properties to hair and nail treatments, this oil is a wonder ingredient.  Safe and natural, light and hydrating, argan oil has many uses in the beauty world. 

6)  Fresh Scent – So many of the haircare products out there have fruity, or in some cases no scent at all.  I found this Super Serum to simply smell fresh.  It is a very pleasant, non-antagonizing scent.

Obviously I like this product and I love the way it makes my hair feel soft and look shiny.  Now that I’ve given you my reasons for using this product, now the challenge is for you to give it a try and let me know what you think!!  I would love to hear what you have to say so PLEASE COMMENT!!
