Never let a hair dryer be too hot or too close.

The greater the volume (you want), the bigger the brush (you need).

Hair longer than elbow length is too long.

When drying hair always finish with a blast of cold air; this will seal cuticles and add shine. Do not buy a hair dryer without a cold air option.

The optimum styling time for hair is when it is 85% dry. Hair drying = hair volume + a groomed finish. Drying hair with a hair dryer lifts the hair from the roots, and gives added body. Natural drying promotes natural curls and waves. Don’t fry, attack or over-dry your hair. LOVE your hair.

Don’t over wash your hair. Excessive shampooing and styling strips the hair of its natural oils.

Even if you are growing your hair, it still needs trims. Split ends lead to unhealthy, stunted growth, and then where will you be?

To give hair added luxury and shine, always do the final rinse using bottled water. That sounds decadent, but tap water around the world as a variety of different pH levels amd some harm the hair. Using bottled water ensures a neutral/balanced pH level. Within a month your hair will have a natural shine and improved lustre.

Gosh, I wouldn’t mind me one of these. To try out anyway. My bag’s pretty messy; searching for my keys, and mobile phone seem like such a feat on a busy day (short of tossing my bag inside out). It’d be great to have a bag like this; at least I’d know where things are in an instant. It’ll definitely be a time-saver.

Still, with these fixed-sized compartments, I’d imagine the bag to be rather bulky. Also, the items would have to be rather small to be able to fit into these compartments (bigger items would again, be tossed into the bag).

Oh well, despite the disadvantages, I’d love to have something like this, at least, to give it a go. Being such a bag lover that I am, that is 😉

The Classic Bag is available at Butler Bag for USD$95, whilst the Hybrid Bag at USD$150 (shipping is free in the US when two bags are ordered).
