Hair Dryer Brush Recall!

Have you purchased one of these popular hair dryer brushes with a notable black and pink color scheme? Revlon was the first to introduce their Salon One Step hair dryer brush in 2016.  The brush makes drying hair a breeze with its consumer friendly design and ease of application.  The Revlon Salon One step brush became a favorite amongst many within the natural hair community.  Soon after generic (non-original) versions of the brush were everywhere but are these versions comparable to the original?  It would appear not.  

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently issued a warning to stop using hair dryer brushes by Jowenia and Zuoxukeji.  The hair dryer brushes manufactured by these sellers lack an integrated immersion protection device that can result in the risk of death or shock and electrocution.

The hair dryer brushes, though sold by different companies, all have the same model name (XR-8801) and label name (XRUI).  The generic hair dryer brush was sold on marketplaces such as Tik Tok shop, eBay.com and Walmart.com.  The names that this hair dryer brush was sold under are:

1.) Jowenia One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler, 3 in 1 Negative Ion Blow Dryer Brush for Smooth, Frizz Free Results for All Hair Types, brand name Haokaini. (Walmart.com)

2.) Tebru Paddle Brush, Electric Hair Dryer, 2 in 1 Multifunctional Anion Hair Dryer Brush Comb Styler Hairdressing Tool. (Walmart.com)

3.) Hair Dryer and Blow Dryer Brush, Hair Straightener Brush Hair Dryer Hot Air Brush (eBay.com)

4.) Multifunctional hot air brush, 1 box of automatic curlers, negative ion hot air brush, hair styling tools suitable for home and salon use, everyday hair tools.  (Tik Tok Shop)

If you have purchased a generic hair dryer brush from one of these sellers in the associated marketplaces listed above, you are advised to stop using the dryer and to carefully dispose of the item. Before disposing of the item, be sure to cut the cord prior to placing it in the trash.  The hair dryers are hazardous and as a result, they have been recalled.

Note: These hair dryers are not to be confused with Revlon's Salon One Step hair dryer which are safe for use. The one step hair dryer looks a bit different than its original 2016 design which is similar to the above hazardous hair dryer brushes.  Revlon's One Step hair dryer brush is now designed with an oval shape and bristles that appear on both sides.

Baby Hair Banned!

Who would have thought that a day would come where a popular hair trend is forced to an end.  If you aren't clear about what hair trend that is, think of those swirly waves that are shaped and molded onto a woman's hairline often with the precision, grace and perfection of an artist creating complex paintings and illustrations in the studio.  We're talking baby hair, curlfriends! Not a Monet, a Picasso or a Van Gogh! The obsession that some women have with baby hair should really be studied on a super grand scale.  Some ladies won't feel that their look is complete if their edges are not laid or slicked.  As a wig store dealing with various clientele, we can attest to the fact that some women take the baby hair trend to a whole nother level.  Having baby hair or "laid edges" means different things to different folks.  Baby hair may look cute when styled correctly but should females become so enmeshed in the baby hair craze?  What happens when an  ...

Baby Hair Crazy?!

Wigs provide an abundance of options for individuals to sport a variety of styles that they may not originally be able to do with their own hair.  With all of the different types of wigs available within the hair industry, it can be hard to choose between wig types such as an HD lace front or a crochet style wig.  Then there is the pervasive question that some wig wearers may have: “Should I wear this wig with baby hair?” What’s with the baby hair craze that is currently going on? The baby hair trend was extremely popular in the early 90s and it made a comeback in the late 2010s. The name came from the look of an actual baby's hair or how a baby's hair looks as a new born. The thin hair that appear at the scalp line which are actually signals of the baby's hair that has yet to grow in. While the trend does appear to be simmering down these days, one question still remains: Does leaving baby hair out on your wig really make a difference?  Some feel...
