Product Review: Power Straight Straightening Balm

It's not a new product. It's not a new product line. So, why review a product that's been on shelves for some time now?

...Because it's THAT great.

That's right. As you know, our blog welcomes products and tools for review. However, every now and then, we come across a product, or we bring a product into the salon that needs no requests. Sexy Hair's Power Straight Straightening Balm is that kind of product.

Due to the easy access to products (and OK, maybe I tend to be a product junkie) I find myself jumping from product to product just for the fun of it, but I have my favorites. (Ask and I'll give you the top five...MUST HAVE products!)

I have naturally curly hair that I wear straight, and it's also cut uber-short momentarily; therefore, I have CRAZY hair unless I spend the time to blow it out and style it. (OK, those of you that know me know that I have crazy hair even when I do style it!) Naturally, I turn to straightening products to decrease the frizz and calm the curl, but also to make the hair-drying process less painful and time-consuming.

Most straightening products leave my fine, fine hair feeling heavy, and looking less-than-clean once the product settles in and weighs my hair down. However, Power Straight is one of the first products I've come across that truly straightens my hair, but doesn't weigh it down or leave it looking not flat and lifeless.

Curly or wavy-haired girls: I went to bed with wet hair, and wore it as is the next day! Seriously...

The apricot-vanilla scent also makes this a really fun product, but I do give the warning that too much of the balm (like any product) defeats the effects and will weigh hair down. So, don't get carried away!

I highly suggest this product for those of you with wavy-to-curly hair and fine-to-average textured hair.

Additionally, there is a whole line of Straight Sexy Hair products that accompany this balm.


Some I love, some I hate. Ask, and I shall tell you more...
