T3 Twirl 1.25-Inch Curling Iron: Curl and Twirl in Record Time, Girl!

June 10th, 2010 by Karen 45 Comments

t3 twirl review

Big, bouncy curls aren’t Victoria’s Secret anymore. Word got out, and now it’s easy to get runway ready hair at home with the T3 Twirl 1.25-Inch Curling Iron ($119).

Those V.S. chicks get help from a dedicated team of stylists who tease their locks into perfectly tousled submission; the T3 Twirl gets help from its 1.25-inch diameter barrel.

The unit joined T3’s stable of styling tools earlier this year. To improve upon the design of old school curling irons that delivered inconsistent heat, the company implemented some very scientific-sounding technology. Straight up, they make it sound like the Kublai Khan of curling irons!

2007 FLASHBACK: See how the T3 Featherweight hair dryer changed my world.

T3’s Single Pass digital heating insures that the iron gets hot f a s t. It also helps it maintain consistent heat through the length of the barrel.

T3’s Tourmaline technology (tourmaline is classified as a semi-precious stone/gem) is even hotter than that! The tourmaline in the barrel emits negative ions that cancel out static electricity and close the hair cuticle for sleek and springy, frizz-free curls.

As Flava Flav so often said, “Yeah, boyeeeee!”

Hair Do or Don’t? Colorful Clip-In Hair Extensions in Your Team’s Colors

June 1st, 2010 by Karen 31 Comments

Just added to the list of “things I’d never thought I’d live to see” — funky clip-in hair extensions made to look like sports team logos.

These are made by an outfit called Sports Hair Styles and give women (or very brave long-haired dudes) an unconventional way to support their favorite team ($12.95 each).

For the patriotic, there’s even the US flag!

While these hair extensions aren’t exactly my style, I could see how sports fiends and/or cheerleaders could rock ’em and look legit.

Would you wear clip-in hair extensions to support your favorite team?

John Corbett: His Best Hair?

May 21st, 2010 by Karen 34 Comments

G’morning and happy Friday, ladies! I’m in the thick of things in my quest to re-re-re-watch the entire SATC series from beginning to end. Right now I’m in season four, and it’s deeply reminded me of why I’m TEAM AIDAN.

I’m not-so-secretly hoping that Aidan, played by John Corbett, steals Carrie away from Big… Keeping my fingers crossed!

Which of John's hairstyles do you like best?

Kim Cattrall: Her Best Hair

May 18th, 2010 by Karen 4 Comments

kim cattrall her best hair

No matter how many times I re-watch episodes of Sex and the City, I never grow tired of Samantha Jones, played by actress Kim Cattrall. Remember the episode where she fell in lust with the priest?? Oy, vey!

I think Kim looks wicked hot for 54, and I’m counting down the days till the new movie arrives (t-minus 10 days and counting!).

Are you gonna see it (it’s okay to say no)? 🙂

Cynthia Nixon: Her Best Hair?

May 11th, 2010 by Karen 7 Comments

Good morning, ladies. 🙂 It’s a new day (soo glad we put Monday behind us!). How are you doing?

Lately I’ve had Sex and the City on my mind. The sequel coming out nudged me to re-watch some old episodes from back in the day.

Did you know that Miranda’s character, played by actress Cynthia Nixon, was a fellow cat lady? Yup, her chubby tabby cat, Fatty, appeared in a few episodes.

I’ve always felt more connected to Carrie and Charlotte, but I still loves me some Miranda. She doesn’t take crap from anyone!

When Was Your Last Haircut?

May 6th, 2010 by Karen 83 Comments

Crikey! I’m waaay overdue for a trim. My last run-in with a scissors was December, and now my layers are all out of whack.

The situation with my roots is even worse (three words: hella white hairs). I’d planned a trip to the salon next week, but my May astrology chart (yes, I’m serious) says I should postpone any big physical changes until after Mercury comes out of retrograde… I know, I know — it’s kinda kooky to base styling decisions on planetary alignments, but Susan Miller rarely lets me down. 🙂

What about you? When was your last haircut?

Kristin Davis: Her Best Hair?

May 4th, 2010 by Karen 12 Comments

We’re now less than one month away from the Sex and the City 2 movie release, woo hoo! I’m all sorts of stoked. 🙂

Do you ever think about which of the SATC girls you’re most like? I feel like I’m about half Carrie (SJP!) and half Charlotte (played by the lovely Kristin Davis).

Kristin, like her character Charlotte, doesn’t take wild risks with her hair color, length or style, but every once in a while she’ll spice things up with variations on curls and waves.
