A hair transplant is NOT something I am in need of.  My  hair is so thick that it could be mistaken for a horse tail. So being able to manage my mane is something I struggle with every day!  Between the washing, the drying, and the styling, it can take me over an hour to complete my daily routine.

I go through my styling and hair care products like they are water.  I am always looking for the next best thing when it comes to my personal care needs. 

So the fabulous new addition to my routine: The ProSilk Ceramic + Far Infrared Dryer with Ion Technology.  Talk about amazing, this dryer seems to dry my massive mane in HALF the time my old Conair dryer did.  I went from a 45-minute dry session to an 18-minute dry session! More »

Two things I don’t bother keeping secret: 1) I’m over 30 (gasp!), and 2) I love organic personal care products. Recently, I came across two new brands, each of them with a product relevant to one of the aforementioned facts.

Well, the people at pHormulate figured out one thing that I had never even thought of: Hair loses sugar, and increases in salt, as it gets older! Apparently, the sugar contributes to a smoother texture, while the salt causes a drying effect (in other words, too much of it is bad). So, their ChromaGuard Technology sets out to correct that. And, while I obviously can’t measure the sugar content in my hair, it appears to do its job. More »

With everyone and everything “Going Green” these days, I did not want to be left behind. Although I own my “Green” car (a Toyota Prius, which I love) and I make sure that I buy energy-efficient appliances, I never really gave my skin care that extra-conscious thought until now.

So I started doing my research on what is actually in some of the products I use, and it is amazing how many things I cannot pronounce! Well, I found a company that is fabulous and specializes in natural skin care: Noodle & Boo. I am big on tag lines, and this one was great:

Welcome! Beauty Chat’s look has received a makeover! Redesigned in a new package, our blog is back in a big way. Beauty Chat originally developed June 1, 2007 with just our technical guru (Randy) and me launching its birth. One of the newest sister sites to PlasticSurgery.com, iEnhance.com, and CosmeticSurgery.com, Beauty Chat’s identity stands unique. While we make it a point to address plastic surgery-related topics as they pertain to your interest, we also make it a point to unite everyone who shares the idea that beauty is a universal concept and means different things to different people.

And now: Beauty Chat is pushing the end of its ninth month, with seven contributors, its own talented designer (Khevna), and a loyal readership reaching international grounds. We are very proud of this moment, as we hope that you find the new navigation pleasant, and the look an appealing stamp of modern beauty.

Therefore, in celebration of our relaunch, we are holding a contest. We would like a reader to rename our “Giveaway” page into something more creative! By entering this contest, you have a chance to win a fabulous package of personal care items, worth over $150. Please e-mail us your idea. We will choose the winner of our contest on April 1^st.
