Review of Jose Eber Petite Flat Iron, Black, 1/2"

This flat iron is tiny, it was even smaller than I expected and it looks like a toy for your daughter's doll but don't be fooled it's worth it weight and then some. It heats up fast and does fantastic curls that hold. It is compact enough to take in a clutch or purse for quick touch ups. I also have the 1" by John Eber ($25) that I bought for my daughetr, I was impressed with that as well, it worked as good as my $260 FHI, and I've since stopped using my FHI. Oh don't forget it's also dual voltage, for those trips to Europe and elsewhere!

Review of Herbatint Permanent Herbal Haircolour Gel, 1N, Black, 4.56-Ounces (Pack of 2)

This was the best price available online for two packs of the Herbatint.My hair is very thick and coarse, and the length is about 1-2 inches past shoulder-length - 1-1/2 bottles was more than enough to completely cover all my hair.The kit comes with flimsy gloves, color, developer, instructions (complete with full color chart), and conditioner; you will need to buy an applicator bottle or bowl to store the mixed color.The color (1N) took hold almost immediately but I left it on for the recommended 40 minutes.The color barely stained my skin around my hairline and scalp and what was stained came off very easily.There was no scalp irritation or awful chemical smell.

After 40 minutes and a shampoo & cool water rinse until the water ran clear, I noticed my hair wasn't as soft as it usually is after any kind of color treatment.I applied both packets of conditioner (one from each of the packages of color), let it sit for 5 minutes, and followed with a cool water rinse.That remedied the texture issue as my hair air-dried to a soft and shiny finish.The color is as described (1N) - natural jet black with no blue undertone.It didn't look flat like some black haircolors can and the shine only helps to enhance the richness and depth.

I've only washed my hair twice since coloring it and I found some color in my rinse water but I expect as much with the initial washes.It is pricier than the usual drugstore brands but you are paying for quality natural ingredients with minimal chemicals.Your hair shows the difference!
