Holiday Gift Guide: Knot Genie’s Magic Hair Band

Sample Disclosure

61hzfHHvL+L._SY679_

Eliminate ponytails that are too tight or too loose with the new Magic Hair Band from Knot Genie!  Any woman who wears a ponytail would LOVE getting this as a gift for Christmas.

The Magic Hair Band comes from the creators of the Knot Genie detangling brush that changed the landscape of hair care. Featured on the “Today Show” and “Good Morning America,” as well as in Parents Magazine, Daily Candy, the Huffington Post and more, the original Knot Genie became a phenomenon when parents discovered this highly effective knot removal brush eliminated daily hair-brushing fights with their kids.

The next step in the Knot Genie’s battle for pain-free, hassle-free hairstyles is the all-important ponytail. The Magic Hair Band tackles the too-tight or too-loose ponytail challenge with a unique design that easily slides into place, creating gentle, crease-free ponytails.

Stylish beads on the end of each Magic Hair Band offer a bit of bling. And, you can twist the elastic around the wrist into a fun fashion statement when not in use.

The magic behind the Magic Hair Band is its unique toggle, which easily adjusts over the hair band securing the ponytail in place.  Simply slip the ponytail through the Magic Hair Band, squeeze the front and back of the toggle together and slide it up until the hair is in the desired ponytail.  And, because the elastic is not overstretched by wrapping fine or thin hair over and over or by forcing thick hair into a too small hair band, the Magic Hair Band doesn’t lose its staying power.

DIY Mary Poppins Costume

Disclosure AffiliateMary Poppins DIY Costume

We’re back with another DIY costume idea that is oh-so cute! This DIY Mary Poppins costume will be the hit of yourHalloween party. It’s easy to go to the local costume store or party store and buy a “pre-packaged” costume, but it’s definitely not the best option. If you’re going to a big party you’re likely to see someone else with the exact same costume and it just won’t be very original!

The other problem with a party store costume is that they are usually limited in sizes and you have to buy everything in one package – which doesn’t end up good if your top is bigger than your bottom or vice versa.

Putting together your own costume pretty much ensures that your costume will be unique AND it will fit you well. You can also easily tweak parts of the costume to be exactly what you want!

We have a super fun idea for a putting together a costume to let you dress as everyone’s favorite nanny with this DIY Mary Poppins costume. You can find all of these items at Amazon and put together your costume in one order!

This first clay-in-mask pre-shampoo regulating treatment specifically targets an oily scalp with a breakthrough skin purifying technology. The 30% mineral green clay concentration works to absorb sebum excess and regulate oil production over time while the professional application brush, allows for even, targeted coverage. The scalp is left deeply purified, helping to drastically reduce excess oil production. Dating back to ancient times, the virtues of clay have been used for centuries in cosmetic and therapeutic remedies to absorb sebum, eliminate toxins and serve as an antiseptic. Use once a week on dry hair, applying it generously to the roots with the application brush. Leave on hair for five to ten minutes and rinse thoroughly.

The second step to the Purifying Clay system, the pro-vitamin b5 enhanced shampoo helps to minimize oily roots and produce soft, perfectly balanced hair. The pro-vitamin b5 is known for its protective properties of the fiber capillary, helping repair and soften the hair from roots to ends. Your hair and scalp will become rebalanced and with the added benefit of a light cherry, violet, and vanilla scent. After using the pre-shampoo mask, rinse hair with the regulating shampoo to help balance hair.
