In November 1st, I had posted a contest on the site to announce a partnership with the distributors of Karmin to offer one lucky reader the chance to win one flat iron.

You can read the original post here: Contest: Who else wants to have a chance to win a flat iron valued at $265 USD?

The requirements for the contest were very simple: post your worst “BAD hair day story”.

I have to say that the 16 ladies who dared to air their bad hair day stories for the rest of the world to read were brave and I salute them.

I had always made it a policy of mine to avoid news (especially late night news) at all cost. I’ll focus on certain areas I want to keep updated about and just close the door to the rest because I’ve always found news incredibly depressing.

Since early October 2008, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get away from all this gloom and doom recessionary-deflationary-great-depression-of-our-time talk that reporters have been feeding us 24/7.

>>>>> Ladies, there are only 10 days left before the close of our Win a Karmin Flat Iron contest!

Don’t forget, you simply need to go to the original post and leave us your “worst day hair story”!

There are already some amazing stories … here’s the original post where you can leave your story: Contest: Who else wants to have a chance to win a flat iron valued at $265 USD?

Beauty Match has teamed up with My Hair Styling Tools to offer my readers a chance to win the 2008 Karmin Titanium Hair Straightening Iron just in time for the Holidays!

The Karmin Titanium Hair Straightening Iron is available in pink, blue and black and it has a retail value of $265 (but it’s now on sale for 99.99 USD)!!!

Winning a flat iron is exciting news enough, but the Karmin Titanium Hair Straightening Iron is a very new concept that uses a different technology from the ceramic flat iron we’re used to.

I know that when I first heard of “titanium” instead of ceramic, I was a bit confused as to the benefit of this metal.

Here are a few answers to the most commonly asked questions about “titanium”

This post will be short, sweet and to the point!

I don’t know if you remember, but a few months ago I declared that I had found the BEST flat iron (period)!

Here’s the original post: I found the BEST flat iron (period)!

Well, the company where I got my FHI flat iron (which is wonderful by the way) is having a contest.

I’m posting this a bit late in the game, but I only found out about the contest a few days ago.

It’s that time of the year where the humidity index is so high that it makes taming your locks a full time job.

I decided this year that I would not be walking about with frizzy hair and set myself to find a good flat iron.

Since I knew little about flat irons, I asked my hairdresser for some advice. I told her that I was considering a Chi flat iron, but she told me that the best option would be to consider a FHI flat iron instead because of a number of reasons.

Asian beauties have such perfect hair. I always marvel at how straight their hair is … regardless of the humidity index. When it’s humid outside, I know for certain that I’ll catch a bad case of the frizzies.

During the summer, you’ll have to deal with high levels of humidity that will either leave your hair frizzy or flat. Everyone loves summer, but no one wants to deal with unruly hair.

I have to say that until 2007, I had not tried too many Redken products at all. I discovered their Smooth Down Butter Treat when a sales person at Trade Secrets (a hair product shop located here) revealed that it was the most moisturizing product they had in the store.

Have you ever wanted to create your own line of hair care products? Well that’s exactly what happened to three lucky ladies.

The Toni&Guy salons in the U.K. partnered up with Erin O’Connor (British model), Helena Christensen (Danish model) and Jamelia (U.K. R & B Singer) to create ‘Model.Me’. Each woman was very closely involved in all steps of the formulation of their products.

Erin O’Connor is well known for her signature straight edgy cut and her product line is ideal for this type of hair.
