Great Solution to FIA ( Flat Iron Addiction)
The holidays got in the way of 2 stories I have been wanting to share with you. It rarely happens that I will be excited about a new product for hair, but it happened twice in one week. I ended up trying both of those products on myself and loved both even more - - - even more rare.
In my never-ending quest to abolish use of the Flat Iron, I bought a new fangled brush thing-a-ma-gig from one of my Hair Reps. The photo of it looked like a killer concept, but I never expected it to work as well as it did. From the example of clients of all hair types whose rear-ends were in my chair, I have learned slowly but surely that the flat Iron is just not a great hair tool and it truthfully creates more problems than it fixes over time. I have nothing against any product that will make your hair look better (which is what I said when hair extensions first appeared for the public), but that product …no matter what it is…{I feel} …must not destroy the hair in the process. What I have noticed with the gradual over-use of flat irons is that while it does smooth the cuticle at the beginning of a clients ownership over time the continued use and over-use of these irons takes the hair into the “burned or frazzled” stage which causes even more frizz and is very difficult to recover from without cutting it off. I ask if they have been using a silicone serum and while silicone is the one and only product that truly protects hair from heat – it is by no means a total solution to the heat of two flat plates at 250 degrees smashed together on the hair strands….I hope I have not misled you on that one, to me its common sense.
When people would come to me for the 10,000 Heads Regimen, which usually meant they had trashed their hair beyond recognition – and I put them on a strict “diet” of all the things that got them there – many times just taking away the Flat Iron, would solve 50% of their problems. That’s a LOT, especially when you consider that there are 14 Steps ( and over the years there has always been over 10) It finally got me thinking…what would happen if just the Flat Iron was subtracted from peoples regimen ? ? You see, I realize the Flat Iron is a fairly new tool to many of you . . . but I had one when I was in Hair Academy and that was 16 years ago…so my clients have ALWAYS had flat irons …I wasn’t doing hair when they didn’t exist. 
My assistants would take names/photos of volunteers for a 90 day Flat Iron Challenge from my clients about 1/2 way thru. They would receive one free hair color if they participated, with a lot of college kids from Pepperdine…. I had many volunteers. Well, the results were mind boggling – none of us could believe the difference. What we figured out was, that the temperatures of the irons kept going up & up each year as the companies that made them would listen to customers requests. Of course, the customers loved the concept and loved the Irons ( At the time so did I) – but thought if they worked so well, why not make them go hotter and hotter. For the first 10 years all Flat Irons were black and were only 1 temperature – super Hot. In the last 6-7 they have gotten all tricky…leopard, zebra - print, multiple temps., ceramic plates, tourmaline, ionic - - BIONIC…I mean its gone ape-shit-crazy!
Around Halloween I spotted this funny looking brush… bought one – & its been sitting around here for month. Finally this past week my one client is having a helluva time with the condition of her hair lately… showed up and with the crown of her hair just trashed. She is a long time client – we’ve had her hair in terrific shape and in poor shape, just depends on her styling regimen, her Thriven, Gleam, Secret Supplement use ( she is off of that now – which is a big mistake) but after the color and cut is complete is the time when I finally can tell exactly where her hair stood, she was right…it was bad. Really bad, she was in the middle of “the change” and was complaining of her hair feeling like “old lady” hair. I agreed her hair had never felt like it did that day, and she had quit using the Flat Iron a long time ago. Unfortunately its just her age and it seems to happen to everyone once they reach their 50’s, just want you all to be prepared.
Well check out this little gem. Its a brilliant hair tool and the results were nothing short of spectacular and that is because of how brilliant the inventor of this is – its so simple but to me it completely solves many of the problems of the Flat Iron. The bristles are short and are very stiff so the tension on the hair can be pulled… it holds the hair very tightly so you are able to stretch the hair tightly while drying. Stretching is the perfect answer to drying kinky, curly or wavy hair.
There are vents to let the air from the blow dryer THROUGH the hair strands , so the heat has a place to escape from…
Denman Thermoceramic Straightening Brush provides a fast and simple way to straighten all types of medium to long hair during blow-drying.
Features and Benefits:
- Thermo-ceramic plates with vented design allow warm air to circulate more freely for fast blow-drying performance
- Adds condition and shine for a silky, lustrous finish
- Smoothes the cuticle, minimizing breakage and split ends
- Velvet-touch handle for added comfort during use
- Made with interlocking rows of pure natural boar bristle
Directions:
Wash hair with sulfate-free shampoo, towel dry. Use Ecoly detangler comb to gently smooth out any tangles. Set hairdryer to MEDIUM heat and start to blow-dry until hair is half-dry. Start from the nape of the neck and separate hair into sections. Clamp hair between bristles and gripping firmly, pull the bristles down the length of the hair section while directing warm air from the hairdryer. Repeat this process until all the hair sections have been straightened. Apply gloss serum or mist with shining spray for extra shine. 
One of the most interesting results one gets from this brush is from twisting and turning it as well… the volume it creates, both at the root as well as through the lengths. I mean this little, very well priced brush, made this woman’s hair look like it was 20 year old hair, I was just so impressed. The reason? the way it made it easy to ‘stretch’ it changed the coarseness of her hair as it will yours.
Its just the smartest, cutest and well priced little styling tool I have come across in a very long time. You must try one – click right on over to the Killer Strands Store http://killerstrands.myshopify.com/ and check it out, you may request a sample of the FLUFF with your order as well ( a small batch has been made)

Cataracts Definition / what is Cataracts?
The term cataracts refer to a clouding of the eye’s lens that is located behind the iris and pupil. This particular lens operates by focusing light on to the retina, much in the same way as a camera lens. The lens affected by cataracts is also involved in the eye’s focus.
There are three different types of cataracts you should know about:
Cortical Cataracts, Nuclear Cataracts, Subcapsular Cataracts, Traumatic cataracts, Congenital cataracts
Cataracts Symptoms Signs:-
The earliest signs of cataracts may mimic other eye conditions including macular degeneration. Many patients will notice they have more trouble seeing unless they use more intense lighting. Still others will notice they have difficulty pointing out finite details when reading or working.
There are several common symptoms of cataracts:
(1) Gradual, painless onset of blurry, filmy, or fuzzy vision
(2) Poor central vision
(3) Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
(4) Changes in color vision
Cataracts Causes Risk Factors:-
(1) Aging
(2) Congenital disorders
(3) Genetic abnormalities
(4)Traumatic cataracts
(5) Complicated cataracts
(6) Glaucoma
Cataracts Treatments Care Cure:-
Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision. Nine out of 10 people who have cataract surgery regain very good vision, somewhere between 20/20 and 20/40.
Cataract Prevention:-
Increase your intake of antioxidants.
Stop smoking.
Increase your intake of Vitamin E.
Protect your eyes from UV rays.
Book regular eye exams.

This December, light therapy expert, Lumie, is launching Lumie Clear a brand new innovative handheld medical device that uses phototherapy to provide quick, natural, pain free treatment to the common skin condition, acne vulgaris.
Based on published research , Lumie, a company with over 18 years experience in light therapy, is launching Lumie Clear. The new LED based light provides effective treatment for acne that is both safe and without any known side effects. In published studies where this type of light therapy has been used every day over a six week period, subjects reported noticeable improvements to their acne; after12 weeks continued use, some reported 75 per cent clearance.
Using a combination of blue and red LEDs, Lumie Clear emits two wavelengths of light; blue (415nm) to kill the bacteria causing acne and red (660nm) to stimulate healthy tissue growth and decrease inflammation.
Aimed at the mild to moderate sufferer, Lumie Clear should be used as part of a daily skincare routine over a 12 week period. The built-in timer provides quick 15 minute bursts of light that need to be applied to each area affected by acne. The ergonomic design allows Lumie Clear to be used in a number of ways: Acne vulgaris is a widespread skin complaint found in up to 80 per cent of adolescents. It constitutes nearly one fifth of all visits to dermatologists and has a higher female occurrence. The onset of the condition usually starts around puberty and symptoms can last well into adult life.
Lumie Clear has the advantage over the vast number of medicinal treatments available which experts like the Bupa Health Team, advise present many challenges to both dermatologists and patients. Topical remedies like creams and gels have a messy application, can produce slow results and can cause painful irritation. Oral drugs such as antibiotics can increase bacterial resistance, and others may cause severe long term side effects.
Dr Rakesh Patalay, BSc MBBS MRCP, Research Fellow in Dermatology at Hammersmith Hospital, said: “Over the last five years there has been increasing evidence that light based therapies using blue and red wavelengths are effective for the treatment of acne - some patients even reporting up to 75 per cent clearance after 12 weeks continued use.”
“Based on research originally carried out by Hammersmith Hospital, further clinical trials have now taken place that demonstrate the efficacy of this type of application for the treatment of acne.”
“I’m sure many acne sufferers will welcome the introduction of home based light therapy treatments as they provide an alternative to creams, gels and antibiotics.”
Lumie Clear features include: Jonathan Cridland, CEO of Lumie, said: “We have been in the light therapy industry for a long time now and have seen the number of applications in which it can be applied grow considerably. It’s no longer just about Seasonal Affective Disorder and the winter blues, as scientific research has also shown that light therapy can be used in other areas to regulate sleep patterns, boost energy and provide pain free treatments to skin conditions, like acne.”
“Light therapy is already a well established treatment in the skincare industry, but has only been readily available from dermatologists at specialist clinics. Lumie Clear is completely unique; it offers home based treatment incorporating light from both blue and red wavelengths simultaneously (to speed-up treatment time), is hand held or can be used from a dressing table hands-free.”
“We are all very excited to see the launch of Lumie Clear as not only does it offer a natural alternative to medicinal treatments like creams and antibiotics, but it’s safe, effective and has no known side effects.
The violet light emitted by the LEDs in Lumie Clear are very bright, Lumie therefore recomm that users do not stare at the light with the naked eye – Lumie supply users with goggles and recommend they should be worn during treatment. For more information visit: lumie.com.
