Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer Curles Tips


Tear an old sheet or other soft cloth into strips. These strips can be from 1 to 5 inches wide and from 8 to 18 inches long, depending on the type of curls desired.
Grasp the end of a strand of hair with the center of the rag folded over it. # Curl the strand around the rag to the underneath.

Paper towel strips shownTie the loose ends of the rag on top when you reach the scalp. If you make a hard knot, you will probably have to cut the rags off in the morning.

Layering the curlsRepeat this method around the head. Make several layers of curls if the hair is thick or long.
When the hair is completely dry, take out the rags.
Style the curls gently with a comb.



Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo (Dry Hair Formula, as it's often called). The Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer provide extra moisture that will protect your hair from the effects of the blow dryer.
Towel off your hair slightly, just enough to stop the dripping. How long the dripping lasts depends on how long your hair is.
Separate your hair in to sections. The bigger the section, the longer it will take to dry. It's best to go for 4-6, but make sure nothing is tangled.
Start blow drying at the top/roots, about six inches away from your scalp. Maintain this distance throughout, so nothing burns.
Work your way down, and remember to move the blow dryer around, again, so nothing burns. Never dry in an upwards motion.
Stop blow drying the moment your hair is dry - keep going any longer and your hair will turn straw-like. Finish with a blast of cold air to lock in shine.

Bathroom Graffiti - Pistol Hair Dryer


Blow dryers are for hair, nothing else. Don't use it to dry your body. You'll just come out with unsightly (and uncomfortable) red blotches. Maybe even burns.
Never blow dry your hair when it is dripping wet.
Blow drying can cause headaches if you use them for ages. You shouldn't use them for more than an hour-and-a-half at a time.
Don't use a comb. Use a 'soft bristle hair brush'.
Try to avoid blow drying freshly-colored hair. It's already dry enough.
Avoid using near bathtubs - it can be deadly.

Guns are so cool right now! With this pistol you'll be drying in style! i can see it now...The police officer responding to the call thought it was a gun and shot Paris Hilton, but misses because she was so thin.

Tips
Never blow dry your hair when it is dripping wet. All your going to do is 'boil' your hair. Towel off first.
Always blow dry in a downwards motion and in one direction. This will help prevent frizz and those split ends.
If you can, try not to blow dry more than three times a week.
Try different blow dryers. A lot of them come with snazzy new features.
If your hair is very short, you might get off with just a towel dry, or a two minute blow dry.
You should put in a moisturizing hair spray, anti-frizz cream or conditioner after you're finished blow drying, just to quench your hairs' thirst.
Don't get smart with the hairdryer trying different angles, thinking your a professional. You're not.
Don't frazzle your locks. You may be late for a meeting, but you don't want to walk in with a haystack for hair.
Never blow dry your hair because you're bored. Using a hairdryer does damage your hair, so the less you blow dry, the better quality your hair will be in .

The History of Blowdryer (also frequently called a hairdryer)



A 1900 blow dryer (France)A blowdryer, also frequently called a hairdryer, is an electromechanical device designed to blow cool or hot air over wet or damp hair, in order to accelerate the evaporation of water particles and dry the hair. Blowdryers allow to better control the shape and style of hair, by accelerating and controlling the formation of temporary hydrogen bonds inside each strand. These hydrogen bonds are very powerful (allowing for stronger hair shaping than even the sulfur bonds formed by permanent waving products), but are temporary and extremely vulnerable to humidity. They disappear with a single washing of the hair. Hairstyles using blowdryers usually have volume and discipline, which can be further improved by the use of styling products and brushes during drying to add tension, hold and lift. There is a myth that using blowdryers increases hair loss. There is no scientific evidence to support this. Blowdryers were invented around the end of the 19th century. The first model was created by Alexandre F. Godefroy in his salon in France.



The first hair dryer was the vacuum cleaner! Around the turn of the century, women dried their hair by connecting a hose to the exhaust of their vacuum cleaners. In early models, the front of a vacuum cleaner sucked air in, the back blew air out, and the hose could be attached to either end.
In 1920, the first true hair dryer came on the market, but it was extremely large and heavy, and frequently overheated. Since then, thousands of patents have been issued for different hair dryer designs, but most of them only tweak the outside packaging of the hairdryer so that it looks more aesthetically appealing to you. Aside from the addition of some safety features, the inside of a hair dryer hasn't changed too much over the years. Not until 1951 was the first really workable dryer made. The device consisted of a hand-held dryer connected to a pink plastic bonnet fitted over the woman’s head.

FunctionMost models use coils of wire that have a high electric resitivity and heats rapidly with an electric current. A fan usually blows ambient air past the hot coils resulting in heated air effective for drying. The heating element is most hairdryers is a bare, coiled nichrome wire that is wrapped around insulating mica heating boards. Nichrome wire is used in heating elements, because of two important properties. It is a poor conductor of electricity and it does not oxidize when heated.

How to find the best hair dryer to meet your needs.

A few general ground rules:
Dryers with wattages above 1800 watts tend to work best (though there are exceptions, as you'll see below)
Look for a dryer with multiple heat/speed settings (4-6 is pretty standard these days), and for a cool shot button to lock hair in place after it's been heat styled
Make sure your dryer comes with a nozzle attachment, which will concentrate the air as you blow dry
If you have curly hair, make sure you find a dryer that comes with a diffuser, or make sure that you can get a diffuser that fits your dryer.

PRICES
There is a wide range of prices for new hair dryers and, while choosing a dryer because it is dirt cheap is never a good option, you can cut your costs by choosing one that has only the options that you will really use.
Inexpensive hair dryers ($5 to $20) can be found in almost any store. But while they may not be inexpensive when you first purchase them, they can cost you a great deal when it comes to hair damage.

Since most inexpensive hair dryers only come equipped with one temperature setting, you can literally blast your tresses to death with the unchecked heat from one of these models. The inexpensive dryers are best for people who rarely use them. They're also OK if your hair is extremely short or if you only use a hair dryer briefly to set your gel.
The danger in the cheaper models is that they can scorch your hair or, because they often don't have fan cages, your hair can get pulled into the fan.

Moderately expensive hair dryers ($20 to $80) come equipped with most of the settings that you will need for daily use. Most feature multiple temperature settings and a cool blast button for drying brittle hair or for setting curl. Most people with "normal" hair can do well with these dryers — and the good news is that they're becoming more sophisticated and developing some of the features more expensive models, like ionic and ceramic, already offer.

Professional hair dryers ($80 to $100-plus) can be purchased at a beauty supply store, a salon or through a professional catalogue. While these hair dryers are geared toward repeated use by professionals, they can be beneficial at home if you are willing to pay the price.

Many of these professional dryers are quiet and feature new drying technologies such as ionic and ceramic energy to cut your hair drying time in half. They infuse moisture and only cause minimal damage to the hair cuticle. They'll usually last you a lot longer than the moderately expensive dryer. Their motors are far more powerful and well-built than the moderately expensive dryers, and with the technology they use, there's less chance of blowing out the dryer completely.

The more expensive models are also better for women who straighten their hair on a regular basis. They have far more horsepower than their commercial counterparts, and will withstand prolonged high heat better than the less expensive models.
Once you choose your price point, the next step is to narrow down the different models. To do so, look for some of the bells and whistles that could be highly beneficial to your type of hair.

So be sure the Hair Dryer you are planning to buy, have this features:

Ceramic Technology: Ceramic will maintain even temperature all the time, seal hair cuticle, locks in hair color.
Ionic Technology produces positive energy and infuses moisture into the hair shaft. Negative ions also help reduce frizz, static electricity while leaving hair shiny and healthy. Ionic hair dryer reduce blow drying time.
Far Infrared Heat maintains safety of the environment and our health. Reduces the level of EMF (Electric Magnetic Field). Traditional blow dryers contain up to 1500 microns of EMF that can be dangerous, CHI Turbo Professional Hair Dryer contains less than 1.5 microns.
Life expectancy is 1200 hours as opposed to 500 hours for conventional dryers.
Two speed settings.
Cool shot button.
Ergonomically designed. Light weight and quietest professional dryer.
Power source: 110V 60Hz 1500W for use in US/Canada.
Model GF1541.
One-year limited warranty.

As with all thermal styling tools, hair dryers cause damage to the hair shaft. Incorrect or repeated, high-temperature use of a hair dryer can leave your hair looking dull and frizzy.
Go ahead, and good luck!

European Car of the Year 2008 Fitted Out with Hair-Dryer Compatibility


The Fiat 500 is European Car of the Year 2008, and little wonder. It is smart, sassy and, for what is basically a small, soft blob of metal, enormously covetable. But it is also, essentially, half a century old. The first 500 rolled out of Italian factories in 1957 - a comically diminutive, rear-engined buzz-about, generally regarded as the first ever "city car". By the time production ceased, in 1975, the "Cinquecento" was looking tired, flat and, in the world of battleships like the Ford Granada, increasingly likely to get run over. For a good 40 years, the 500 was destined to have a limited appeal beyond enthusiasts and people with a strong sense of irony.


Of course, there will be one or two differences between the new 500 and the old models. The original, meagre but willing 479cc air-cooled engine has been replaced by front-mounted engines in more generous sizes, from 1.2 litres upwards, so the chances are the new 500 won't sound like someone blowing a raspberry down a mailing tube.


Also, it will be fitted out with the comforts that we have to come to take for granted in even the most modest cars: electric windows, remote locking, probably even compatibility for a hair-dryer. And it will be fatter all round than the original 500, making it far harder to reverse it into the gaps between other parked cars in such a manner that the bumpers end up parallel with the pavement (standard practice with an old Cincquecento in Rome, among other places).
