Important Article on Flat Iron Use!

Straight hair enthusiasts urged to give their hair a break by limiting use and avoiding improper application of popular hair device

    CHICAGO, July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- While hairstyles come and go,
pin-straight hair favored by A-list celebrities and emulated by scores of
loyal fans from coast to coast appears to have real staying power. That's
why the use of flat irons, which are used to straighten hair, has increased
in popularity in recent years. Now, dermatologists warn that some flat
irons can damage hair and cause hair breakage which could put a crimp in
this coveted hairstyle.

    At the American Academy of Dermatology's Summer Academy Meeting 2008 in
Chicago, dermatologist Paradi Mirmirani, MD, FAAD, assistant clinical
professor of dermatology, University of California, San Francisco,
presented evidence that when ceramic flat irons are used improperly or too
frequently, hair breakage can occur.

The No More Bad Hair Treatment Pledge

Ok, after Ive read so many pet peeves, salon walk out stories and retailer nightmares, I'm ready to take a stand. From now on, ANY TIME:

-I have to walk out of a salon
-Get stares when I walk into a "white" salon
-Get told about my hair at a BSS
-Get screwed over my an online retailer
-or mistreated in ANY other way

Im going to write a letter, make a phone call or print out a copy of a thread (with permission, of course) and send it to the company/salon/industry regulators.

I pledge to no longer just take mistreatment and sulk at home in my apartment. Its time to fight back!

Anyone want to join me? Or, add to the pledge??
