The Big Tease: Conair Volume & Styling Comb

Conair Volume & Styling Comb

I've said it before and I will say it again, if I could have a Bump-It surgically implanted to the back of my head I would.  Ever since I saw the original Bonnie & Clyde with Faye Dunaway, at the peak of her beauty, I've been obsessed with a little height at the crown of the hair.

Faye Dunaway as Bonnie in Bonnie & Clyde

I have purchased dozens of "lift" and "teasing" combs over the years, and I can handily find one in any clutch or handbag I open.  Some have a long "rat tail" end, for strategically creating an nonstrategic part. Other's have a spray of 5 talons at the end like a gap tooth "Afro pick".

Do they get the job done?

The Thomas Crown Affair(s)

I remember seeing the original Thomas Crown Affair when I was young and impressionable. It starred Faye Dunaway as a brilliant insurance investigator. Some brilliantly devised bank heists were being committed in Boston and the police were stumped.  

They called in Faye Dunaway, (at the peak of her beauty,) in a desperate attempt to solve them.  It is she, who figures out that the master mind is Thomas Crown, a bored billionaire playboy, (played by Steve McQueen at his most handsome,) who for kicks, commits them to test his skill and nerve.  I was enthralled with her her brains and her chic. I thought, "that's what I want to be like when I grow up"!!!

In this film, the incredible ensembles worn by Faye Dunaway, were created by Oscar nominated costume designer Theodora Von Runkle.  Von Runkle also had designed Dunaway's memorable wardrobe in Bonnie and Clyde, as well as for her personally.

The cat and mouse games between them were delicious and so was the love affair-of heart, mind and body.  The kiss that they finally give into, during an equally matched chess game, is   still the longest one in film creation.

Review: Brazilian Blowout Instant Body Boost Powder

Gwen Stefani loves lift

I was born in the wrong era.  If it were feasible, I would have a  "bump-it" permanently stitched to the crown of my head, (it's the only possible way to get it to stay, 3 steps out of my bathroom).

Who doesn't look better with a little lift at the root??? My obsession started the first time I saw the film Bonnie and Clyde.  I wanted Faye Dunaway's bob.  The fact that my hair is neither blond or straight was of little concern. Get me a rat tail teasing comb stat...

Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde

Today, I love Gwen, because she has figured out how to add fullness to the crown,  without looking like Snooki.  Adele's do gives me heart palpitations too. My favorite Carrie Bradshaw look evah, was when she got to be a "MODEL". Orlando Pita did her hair and Kevyn Aucoin did her makeup. Both were OTT and SJP never looked better.

When I had the opportunity to try Brazilian Blowout's Instant Body Boost Powder from their new Volume Collection of course I said yes!

$24.00

This is an interesting product, and I just happened to LOVE it.  It requires very, very little to get maximum effect, and nicely, they forewarn you of this.  (I tend to be a more is better kind of Girl and can easily overdose on product.)

Simply rub Instant Volume Body Boost Powder in completely to any area you want to add  some instant volume and lift to. The unique powder formula also will give you a pass, on needing to wash your hair for a day or two.

It gives you Va-Va in about 5 seconds.  I can tell you unequivocally, Brazilian Blowout's Instant Volume Body Boost Powder is a new Holy Grail product for me and I will never be without it.
