Transform Your Hair with Conair Curl Secret #collectivebias #ad

I’ve got a secret.  I don’t know how to use a curling iron to curl my hair.  No, seriously!  I haven’t even owned a curling iron since the mid-90’s.  Back then curling irons were not what they are today, but no matter I am still traumatized by memories of curling my bangs… thank goodness Facebook wasn’t around back then!  I’m going to tell you my hair story - how I overcame my fear over curling irons with the Conair Curl Secret!

My hair isn’t curly.  Nor is it strait.  It IS fine, but I have a lot of it, more than most people would ever want.  That is a horrible combination!  If I let it air dry, it turns into a frizzy mess, but if I straiten it it tends to stick to my head as if I were wearing a skullcap.  In the summer I can easily scrunch my hair with product to product some pretty waves, but I still have the flat-on-top issue.

It’s not that I don’t want to curl my hair, believe me, I do!  After almost 20 years of avoiding curling irons, I decided I would find a way to get the hair I desired!  So I dragged my husband along for the ride and ventured out to Health & Beauty aisle in Walmart to find something that would breathe some life into my hair!

I grabbed both the Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer and Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret®.  I also purchased a new round brush and some new clips!  I am long, long overdue for a new hairbrush and the Velvet Touch line from Conair felt amazing in my hand!

The Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer is a new type of hair dryer with an advanced brushlless motor technology that promises to be Quick, Quiet, and Quality.  There is nothing more important to me than quality when it comes to my hair tools!  The Pro 3Q has a brushless motor’s allows it last up to 10x longer life than a DC motor dryer.  It also allows for increased airflow to reduce drying time by up to 70%, Ionic technology for smooth, shiny hair and up to 70% less frizz, and (my husband’s favorite part) uses patent-pending technology to reduce noise by up to 40%.

The Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer also comes with a large diffuser attachment that I am dying to use.  Look how big it is!  I can just imagine how much faster I can dry my hair curly!

I love the perfect combination of smooth hair and volume I was able to achieve using the Pro 3Q and my new round brush!  But why, you ask, am I showing you strait hair when I am supposed to be showing you curly hair?  Because you need strait hair to use my new secret weapon, the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret®!

The Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® has 2 heat levels and 3 timer settings to allow for different types of curl.  Since I have fine hair, I will always use the lower heat setting for the best results.

The first time I used the Curl Secret only took me about 5 minutes!  I didn’t even section my hair off, I just grabbed random sections of hair.  I used the lowest time and lowest heat settings, and focused my attention to the ends of my hair.  I also used it on the crown of my head to add some volume and lift.  The end result looked like I had a body wave!  (If you were born in the last 20 years you probably won’t know what that is, but that’s ok.)

I can’t believe how easy the Curl Secret is to use, even for a clumsy person like me!  You can check out more videos on using the Curl Secret on Conair’s You Tube channel!

The next morning I woke up and still had a lot of body left in my hair!  Normally it’s stuck to my head by this time so I just decided to use the Curl Secret again on my second day hair.  This time I did section it off - those clips came in handy!  Even though I did my whole head in the longest time setting (12 seconds) it still took me under 10 minutes to get these results!  It even makes “hat hair” look cute!

I’m so happy with my new purchases - I still can’t believe I can finally curl my hair!  What do you think of the Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer and Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret®?  Do you want to give them a try?  There is still time to tell Santa what you want for Christmas!
