Hilary Duff's New Hair Color Needs Maintenance!
Hilary Duff had a fairytale wedding in Santa Barbara, a romantic honeymoon in Mexico and now a new hair color in Los Angeles. The newlywed decided to commemorate her new status in life with a new shade of red, perfect for the upcoming fall season. The soft red shade with strawberry blond lowlights is an edgier look for the young star and she is going to need to have the right products to maintain her new style. If you are thinking of switching up your hair color too then take note!
CHI hair products are some of the best on the market to not only protect your hair from heat damage but to also preserve color and create unique looks. Since coloring your hair can really dry it out, you’ll want to use products that preserve the silky nature of your strands and help to prevent split ends. Hydrating your hair is key to keeping your color from fading too quickly. And if you want to make your hair look like you’ve just left the salon everyday, then you’ll need to use salon quality products. The CHI hair products line even has a color protect shampoo and conditioner - such an easy choice! Keeping your hair healthy and lively is a very mature move, indeed!
Amanda Bynes Retires from Acting to Focus on Looking Fine
Amanda Bynes shocked Hollywood recently by announcing that she was retiring - at the ripe old age of 24 - from acting. Her given reason was that she simply “doesn’t enjoy acting” the way she once did. Amanda, say it ain’t so! Entertaining people? That’s What I Like About You! Laughing at your crazy antics is What a Girl Wants! Okay, enough of the title-based puns. I have a story to break. I think the real reason that Amanda retired from acting is a little less highbrow: I think she’s retiring in order to spend more time on her hair.
Sounds silly, right? But just look at Amanda’s luscious locks! Straight as an arrow, full of blonde highlights, and saucily flared out at the ends! If you’re coveting this sassy style, I have good news: You don’t have to quit your job like Ms. Bynes in order to ape this look. All you need is an arsenal of high quality Chi hair products and you’re good to go.
Take a Chi flat iron for example. Other flat irons can burn or damage your hair because their plates are made of metal or they don’t heat evenly. Chi hair products, however, will never damage your precious hair. In fact, many pro stylists rely on the brand for keeping their clients happy and gorgeous. And you can even duplicate that little flip that Amanda has, simply by maneuvering your flat iron away from your face while straightening. (Once you get to the ends of your hair, just flick your wrist outwards, and you’re good to go.) Amanda may not be lighting up the silver screen for much longer, but what can I say? When it comes to having fabulous hair, She’s the Man. LOL.
What's Your Favorite CHI Product?
Everyone knows that CHI is the word when it comes to hair. But what if you had to pick your absolute favorite Chi hair products? Which ones would you choose?
Say you were going to be stranded on a deserted island, a la Lost…or, you know, Gilligan. Having your entire Chi hair products arsenal along with you would be ideal, but it’s not gonna happen! So what are you going to bring along with you? It could be the most useful product you own, the one you use every single day, or just a sentimental favorite.
For me, it would have to be my blue CHI nano flat iron. I just love it! It has so much personality. I mean, it’s awesome at straightening my hair too - if it didn’t get my hair remarkably straight, I wouldn’t even mention it. But it does, and it’s the most beautiful shade of blue to boot. It’s the blue of a summer sky, or a crystal clear lake…needless to say, it’s my favorite color ever. I know having a blue flat iron seems like an unnecessary indulgence, but I can’t even tell you how happy it makes me to pull this thing out every morning when I want to straighten my hair. It gets the job done and it makes me smile at the same time. Thanks, CHI!
Ashley Olsen's Hair has Personality
I feel like I have been in such a style rut lately. My hair has grown out from the “long bob” of last season and it just hangs there with no personality. I feel like I have a lot personality and I want my hair to reflect that. So I am forming a battle plan: I’m taking in this picture of Ashly Olsen and I’m telling my stylist to do her best.
What I love about this style is that it allows me to keep the length of my hair that I like but by injecting shaggy layers all over, I get a style that is sophisticated and playful all at once. I think it will work perfectly with my hair because my hair is naturally wavy. So it will show off those waves and when I want to go for a sleeker look, you’ll still be able to see the layers.
I think the key to making this haircut work will be the products that I use. I love my CHI hair products and I think the CHI Shine Infusion Thermal Polishing Spray is going to be a major necessity. I want my hair to look shiny when it is in layers so that it looks healthy and intentionally shaggy. I can’t wait to try out other CHI hair products too to see what works. I have my eye on the Straight Guard Smoothing Styling Cream. Perfect for those days I decide to straighten my hair.
CHI Keratin Mist - Love it!
I absolutely swear by CHI hair products. I think they’re a great way to pamper your hair and maintain that salon look at home - plus, they work really well in conjunction with CHI’s heat styling tools, like their famous flat irons. My newest obsession when it comes to CHI hair products is their Keratin Mist!
I’ve been hearing a lot about keratin lately, especially as a non-chemical alternative for straightening hair. Keratin hair treatments involve coating the hair with a liquid protein solution and allowing it to work its magic, which includes straightening the hair for 2 to 3 months. Unfortunately, keratin straightening treatments can sometimes result in hair loss, because they may involve formaldehyde.
If you’re looking to reap the benefits of keratin without falling victim to the harmful side effects, this Keratin Mist is for you. Since it lacks dangerous ingredients like formaldehyde, it’s just pure keratin goodness, which is great for your hair. Just spray it on, comb it through and let it soak into your hair, and you’ll end up with smooth, shiny, super manageable style. I notice my hair is a lot less dry when I use this mist, and it seems stronger too. Plus, you can use it everyday! What’s not to love? I highly recommend grabbing a bottle next time you’re at your salon or beauty supply store.
Is Kate Bosworth a CHI Fan?
I quite simply cannot get over the sight of Kate Bosworth’s hair in this picture. It’s utterly perfect! Her shoulder-skimming bob is completely straight, yet it’s almost blindingly shiny, and it looks so healthy that it’s hard to believe that it’s ever been touched by a flat iron! (I also love her gorgeous earrings, but that’s another topic altogether!) Unfortunately, I’m having a hard time finding out any concrete info on what kinds of styling goodies Kate uses. I wouldn’t be surprised at all though if she used CHI hair products. I have a friend with hair that is very similar to Kate’s, and she absolutely swears by all things CHI, from their flat irons to their shampoos and conditioners! I’ve been using the cheapest stuff I can find at the drugstore for years now, but seeing this picture makes me want to vow to finally change my ways. If CHI hair products could help me achieve glorious hair like this, I am more than willing to give them a try! Tomorrow I am visiting my friend’s stylist so I can ask him how I can get Kate-worthy hair. Can’t wait to find out!
Part of the CHI family!
I’m pretty new to the CHI hair family. I recently bought their basic straightener and have been able to style my hair better than ever before. The way it straightens my hair is better than any other kind of straightener I’ve tried throughout the years. I was psyched to just have the straightener and was surprised when I found out they have a whole line of CHI hair products. I had no idea. But my straightener came with a small bottle of the CHI Silk Infusion, which makes my hair so soft and to make things even better - I think it smells great. I decided to check out their other goodies and my new favorite is the CHI Shine Infusion Thermal Polishing Spray. I just spray it on after I straighten my hair and it gives my hair a beautiful sheen all over. It also has that familiar CHI product smell that I love - I don’t wear perfume anymore…just CHI hair products as I style! It doesn’t weight my hair down and I just haven’t been happier with any other hair products on the market. I may be late to the game but I am going to be part of the CHI hair product family for a long time to come….
Amy Adams Lights Up the Red Carpet!
Did Amy Adams rely on CHI hair products for her Golden Globes glow?
Don’t you just love Amy Adams? She’s a great actress, and she seems like such a sweetheart! Plus, that hair! I can’t think of a more radiant redhead currently gracing Hollywood’s red carpet events. At the recent Golden Globe Awards, Amy showed up looking absolutely resplendent. I suppose it could be due to the little bundle of joy she’s expecting shortly, but I’m not sure that would account for how lovely her hair looked! I’m betting Amy’s stylist turned her on to CHI hair products. I use them myself, and I swear by them. Everything from their top of the line flat irons to their specially formulated products works really well in every type of hair. I love their Silk Infusion line - my hair always looks and feels incredibly soft and lustrous when I use it! But back to Amy: This slightly retro updo with sideswept, piecey bangs is easy to recreate at home with your CHI hair products. Just make sure you only straighten hair that is 100% dry, and always run the iron through small sections at a time. Finish with some CHI shine serum or finishing spray and you could look just as luminous as Ms. Adams! Enchanting.
CHI - Like having my own live-in stylist
I have spent my adult life searching for ways to make my hair look like I just walked out of a salon on a daily basis. I wish there was some way to have my stylist there for me every morning, but that is just not realistic. One can dream, right? I have bought countless sprays and serums and brushes and flat irons and mousses and on and on, trying to replicate that swingy, effortless way my hair looks after a good cut. I probably could open my own salon with the amount of products I have. And now that I discovered CHI hair products, I’m going to need to start clearing out my arsenal.
Without fail, when I use my CHI flat iron in conjunction with my CHI silk infusion, someone will ask me, “Did you get a haircut?” You have no idea how much that makes my day! After trying everything else, the CHI hair products are all I need to have a great hair day, day after day. I found about the secret of CHI when I half-seriously propositioned my stylist about making daily house calls. She told me that she wouldn’t have to if I used the same products she does. She wasn’t kidding! I should have spoken up sooner…
Get Movie Star Hair with CHI
Some of the best styles you see on the red carpet have nothing to do with the designer clothes. Instead, they have everything to do with the hairstyles the celebrities are wearing. While scoring designer gowns may be a bit of a daydream, achieving red carpet-worthy hair is much more attainable, especially when you have the right tools. If you want to get professional results, you need to use professional products. Looking like a movie star doesn’t have to be relegated to the stars alone.
CHI hair products are often the secret behind many Hollywood hairstyles. Whether you are coveting Blake Lively’s cascading curls or Megan Fox’s straight style, chances are there was a CHI used somewhere during the styling process. There is a reason the CHI flat iron is one of the most used flat irons in salons today. It is simply superior in performance. The high level of heat and the distribution of that heat on the ceramic plates allows for sleek styles to be achieved time and time again. In addition, when you use CHI hair products to style your hair, such as the CHI Keratin Hair Mist, you can improve the strength and texture of your hair. They are made to work specifically to with the CHI system, giving your hair that movie star quality that you covet.
My Secret Weapon? CHI Silk Infusion
I have been using CHI hair products for years now and hands down, one of my favorite can’t-live-without products is the CHI silk infusion reconstructing product. There is a little bit of magic in this bottle. First, on a purely personal level, I love the way it smells. It is almost a touch masculine in scent and I think it gives my hair a sexy fragrance. But on an efficiency level? This stuff rocks. Here is how to use the silk infusion:
1. Use it on wet hair! Before you blow dry, before you straighten.
2. Depending on the length of your locks, use just a small amount. Dime size for shoulder-length and shorter and only slightly more for longer hair. A little goes a long way.
3. Rub the sparing amount in your palms and then smooth into your hair. Focus on the ends of your hair and avoid your roots.
4. Now that it is in your hair, use a comb to further distribute the serum evenly.
5. Style your hair normally. The silk infusion will work to strengthen your hair as you style.
I can tell the difference in my hair, if I forget to put in the silk infusion before I style. With the silk infusion, my hair is sleeker, it holds a style longer and it is just healthier looking. Its my secret weapon to beautiful hair.
Which Celebs Use CHI Hair Products?
Which celebrities use CHI hair products? CHI makes so many great flat irons, curling irons, and other styling aids that I know lots of famous ladies must swear by them! I wonder if Michelle Obama has ever used CHI hair products? 
I heard that she’s a flat iron addict - she doesn’t use chemical straighteners on her hair, she just flat irons it! That’s why it looks so shiny and healthy. The secret to using a flat iron on African American hair is to get a ceramic one that gets really hot, according to Mrs. O’s personal hair stylist. I bet Megan Fox has used CHI hair products at some point. She clearly loves to straighten her hair - in fact, she has some of the straightest, shiniest hair in Hollywood! Sometimes it’s wavy for movies, but I she clearly prefers the straight look when she’s on the red carpet. I think it looks really sexy. I wish my hair looked that good!
What Does CHI Make (Besides Flat Irons)?
CHI flat irons are some of the most popular in the entire world. They’re high quality, affordable and easy to use. Many women who regularly straighten their hair just love how CHI can help them achieve salon-worthy results at home. But did you know that CHI hair products aren’t limited to flat irons alone?
In addition to their famous straighteners, CHI hair products include curling irons, wavers, 2-in-1 curling/flat irons, and a host of styling aids designed to enhance the performance of the CHI hair products themselves. CHI makes a great leave-in moisturizer for hair called Silk Infusion. It makes hair shiny, soft, silky and - most importantly - strong enough to withstand the heat of the iron! Plus, it’s not greasy, so it doesn’t leave any buildup on the plates of your straightener.
Another great CHI hair product is the Iron Guard, which is a spray-on thermal protectant that safeguards your hair from damage. Try it out! CHI is so much more than just a flat iron manufacturer.
Years of Damage Gone with CHI Shampoo
I will be the first to admit that I have not taken very good care of my hair. I have always battled with it and tried to manipulate it to whatever hair trend was happening at the moment. I was the victim of a bad perm in the 80s. I have no idea what the natural color of my hair since I dye it depending on the season. And lately I have been straightening it with a flat iron nearly everyday. So, basically, my hair is fried. I did not think there was much hope for it and then my friend suggested I try CHI Nourish Shampoo. I have always been a fan of CHI hair products, like their straighteners, but I had never tried their shampoos. This is my miracle! My hair is soft, like silk, and I noticed a difference after the first time I tried it. Amazing.
Flat Irons: What Size Do You Need?
Like curling irons, flat irons come in a variety of different sizes. Chi hair products, including straighteners, are available in many different plate sizes, from less than an inch to more than two inches across. But what size do you actually need for your hair? The answer depends on the length and texture of your hair.
If your hair is short and fine, a smaller flat iron should work for you. Chi hair products have one flat iron that is 7/10″, perfect for shorter styles. However, if your hair is very long, thick or curly, you may want to try an 1.5″ (or larger) iron. This will allow you to cover more ground and make your straightening process go faster.
Generally, however, a flat iron with standard 1″ plates will work for almost all of your straightening needs. Remember, it’s better to straighten smaller sections than attempting to do half your head in one pass, so smaller is generally better when it comes to flat irons! If you find that you need a bigger iron down the road, you can always upgrade.
Styling My Hair Like Vanessa Hudgens
I am such a big High School Musical fan and I think Vanessa Hudgens is gorgeous. Her hair always looks wavy and flawless. But when I saw this picture of her recently with straight hair, I was blown away. I thought I was going to do my hair curly for prom but when I saw her hair like this I thought it would be way cooler to straighten my hair. I borrowed some CHI hair products from my sister and we made my hair look just as flawless. I am going to have to ask for my own ceramic flat iron for my birthday because that thing works! And since my sister is off to college in the fall, I won’t have hers to borrow anymore 
My Secret Weapon: CHI Thermal Protection
If you are anything like me, then your hair can be a constant source of frustration. I have naturally wavy hair that is fine and does not always curl right. Instead of wrestling with the curls, I tend to prefer to have my hair straight. I always feel more sophisticated and ready to face the world when my hair is sleek and smooth. I have experimented with all different kinds of straightening balms and serums, but the products that give me the most consistent results are CHI hair products. I am particularly fond of the CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray. Since I tend to style my hair straight on a daily basis, I have to make sure that my hair is protected from the high levels of heat. This keeps my hair looking healthy and shiny.
5 Tips for Protecting Your Hair
If you regularly use a flat iron to style your hair, you know that heat styling tools will eventually take their toll. But did you know that there is something you can do about it? Don’t just sit there while your hair becomes dry, frizzy and out of control! Here are 5 tips for keeping your hair beautiful and healthy:
- Use a product specially formulated for use with your flat iron to keep your hair moisturized and manageable. Chi hair products like their Silk Infusion, shown here, will fortify hair and prevent buildup.
- Don’t turn your iron up all the way! This is a recipe for disaster. Unless your hair is exceptionally coarse or curly, there is no need to crank the temperature as high as it will go.
- Give your hair a break from the flat iron every now and then. Even the very best thermal styling tools, like Chi hair products, are not designed to be used every single day.
- Make sure hair is completely dry before flat ironing, unless you have a special wet-to-dry iron. This will prevent frizz and damage.
- Replenish hair’s strength with a regular deep conditioning treatment.
Curly or Straight: Which One is Sexier?
The age-old battle between blondes and brunettes rages on - which one has more fun? which shade do gentlemen prefer? - but, in truth, it seems there’s an even more important consideration when it comes to hair: Texture! Forget about color for a second and ask yourself what’s sexier: Hair that’s wild and curly or straight and sleek?
Of course, there are tons of famous beauties with both types of hair. Minnie Driver, Debra Messing and Sarah Jessica Parker are prominent curly-haired celebs, while ladies like Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox make the case for straight. The best part is that, whatever your natural texture may be, you can change it in a moment’s notice! CHI hair products, for example, are one excellent option for straightening curly, wavy or frizzy hair with their pro heat styling tools.
In the end, what it really boils down to is that old “the grass is always greener” adage: If you have straight hair, you probably want it curly, and if you have curls, you’re probably reaching for your credit card to buy some CHI hair products to straighten with right now! Either way, hair that’s healthy and well-maintained is always the most gorgeous of all.
