I bought myself one a couple of years ago, and I could NOT love it more! I'm still amazed that this is actually a product that works exactly the same in real life as it does on the infomercial! LOVE IT!!! You know how crazy-curly-wild my hair is, and this thing makes it stick-straight in a single pass.

I get nervous watching the Tour de France because they are going sooo fast and are literally on top of each other, that it makes me panic. There is such an adrenaline rush about the Derby that is so thrilling. Did you see the horse called Tale of Ekati this year? I guess it means Tale of the Cat but scramble the letters and look what you get! My money's on this guy! I will root for him and raise my Mint Julep to toast to you and Katie.<BR/><BR/>Mindy, I have used EVERY product under the sun for my hair. What I found is that most stuff really dries out my hair. I love the Fekkai glossing creme, but just use a little before you blow dry (otherwise your hair will blow dry funny) and then you can always add more after it's dry to smooth it down. It helps control frizzies very well. I also got Philosophy's restorative smoothing serum which I alternate with the Fekka product. I use a round brush and Ionic hair dryer on high setting and then I finish with a Hai straightener. Then I spritz on a little Fekkai shine spray and finish with hair spray if there's any humidity in the air and 2.3 hours later I'm done! From start to finish it's about 45-60 minutes if I want my hair REALLY straight. Lately I've just been drying the top and sides and pull the rest into a low ponytail and leave curly. That takes about 7 min. total.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634228626032377554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37085797.post-84694376474032432782008-05-03T09:39:00.000-07:002008-05-03T09:39:00.000-07:00I HATE big crowds, which is one reason I've never ...I HATE big crowds, which is one reason I've never been to the Derby. Sad huh? I love your story. What do you use to get your hair straight now? Mine is naturally curly too and a pain in the arse to straighten. I need to try out a Mint Julep sometime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37085797.post-42832392772965382302008-05-03T08:39:00.000-07:002008-05-03T08:39:00.000-07:00I LOVE THIS STORY!The Triple Crown races (and the ...I LOVE THIS STORY!<BR/><BR/>The Triple Crown races (and the Tour de France) are my FAVORITE sporting events, ever, period. I can hardly deal with the adrenaline of the Derby, I love it so much. As a kid, I loved to ride horses, and I liked to go fast. There is something so awesome and visceral about those races. I am amazed that you posted this, because my mom and I are the only two people I know who care about the Derby.<BR/><BR/>Never had a mint julep; it sounds yummy. Thanks for the recipe.Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.com
