************************************************************************

My hair was in dire need of a vacation.

I tormented it for too long with a hair dryer that was on the fritz. Every day for the last couple of months the hair dryer would slowly chug to a start and then it would suddenly blow out air the temperature of the sun. I’m not kidding. It was so hot, I couldn’t stand for it to blow on my hands, neck, or ears for more than 2 seconds.

I also just learned that I’m forcing it to be an unnatural length for its type which is thick, but very fine. While at the gym yesterday, one of the morning talk shows did a hair style segment and a professional stylist said fine hair should never grow past chin length. Apparently, whenever it gets any longer, it’s becomes too weak and the ends start splitting leading to frizz.

This was a real “a-ha!” moment for me.  Whenever I’ve cut my hair short in the past, it is so healthy and shiny. So I get excited and start imagining what it would look like lots longer. I grow it out, hoping it will look like this:

Instead it always ends up looking like this:

(I’m not picking on Jessica Biel here. This was just a perfect picture to show off what my hair always looks like shoulder length or longer unless I spend an hour on it with a curling iron).

I could never figure out what I was doing wrong. Why could other people have long beautiful hair and at that length mine would become frizzy and hard to manage?

Thanks to that morning show segment, it all makes sense now. Armed with this new knowledge, I decided to send my hair on vacation. I got it a brand new cut:

And I’m now using a brand new Conair Infiniti Pro Hair Dryer.

I love the cut and the hair dryer. My hair seems so happy too! With the help of the new hair dryer it is soft and shiny and is easy to style.

And some of my favorite features of the Conair Infiniti Pro include:

• The ceramic technology which safely dries and promotes healthy hair (exactly what I need!)
• The ionic technology reduces frizz and enhances shine – so true!
• The low setting is equivalent to the high setting in my old hair dryer.
• The Hot, Warm, and Cool switches. I use the Warm and it feels almost cool to me – this is a good thing because using air that is too hot on a frequent basis will increase the split ends and frizz.
• The Cool Shot button is easy to use and helps set the style.
• It also comes with two concentrator attachments. They help focus the air from the dryer which keeps my new ‘do looking smooth.
• The removable filter prevents damaging lint, build-up, and extends the motor life. This was a major problem with the breakdown of my last hair dryer. I could see all the lint build-up, but I just couldn’t get to it to clean it out. It will be wonderful to properly clean the Infiniti Pro and help extend its life.
