Barbar Ceramic ECO 8000 Hair Dryer Review and Ceramic1800 Cordless Flat Iron Giveaway

Okay moms (and dads who like to style their hair), it's time to splurge on ourselves a bit. I feature a lot of great items for the kids and for keeping the house clean, decorated, etc., but it's time to pamper ourselves.

I have naturally wavy hair that gets frizzy and out of control in the intense humidity we have here in the south. I blow dry it, flat iron it, etc., but it always seems to curl up when I get out in the heat.

Guess what? I found something that makes all that washing, drying and flat ironing much easier (in my opinion). Recently, I received a sample product and tested out the Barbar Ceramic ECO 8000 Hair Dryer. Before this, I had only ever used cheap blow dryers and had no clue there was a difference, but I have found out that, for me, there is. Before I tried the Barbar hair dryer, my hair still looked frizzy and not at all sleek unless I used a flat iron. Although I still do love a flat ironed look for going out on the town, I have found that for day to day styling, all I need is the Barbar Ceramic ECO 8000 Hair Dryer.

According to an article in InStyle, Jennifer Aniston uses this blow dryer. I personally love Jennifer Aniston's braided hairstyle that is all the rage these days. Although I'm not a pro (like I'm sure she has), I can have a professional look with my Barbar hair dryer. According to their website and magazine articles, lots of celebs prefer Barbar.

From the website:
The Barbar Ceramic ECO 8000 Blow Dryer is equipped with a eco friendly ceramic heating element. Make your hair stand out from the crowd with advanced blow drying techniques. Negates radiation while making hair soft and shiny! Includes sleek blow dryer features such as multiple heat and speed settings. Cool shot release button and high performance controls. Heats up to 266 degrees Fehrenheit with 1000 Watts powered by an AC motor.

Of these features, my favorites are the cool shot, the super long cord and the fact that it's eco friendly.

Do you already have a blow dryer, but want the perfect flat iron? Check out the Barbar Black Ceramic 1800 Cordless Flat Iron. They had me at cordless. Now how neat is a cordless flat iron? It heats up in 2-3 minutes and can be used with or without the cord.
