I decided to stop using <br /> <br />relaxers over a year ago, furthermore straightening my hair became a difficult task. I could never seem to get the results I was looking for out of a flat iron without going to a professional hair salon and <br /> <br />spending $65.00 a visit. I previously used FHI ceramic flat irons which straightened my hair and then left it frizzy again within the next hour. A hairstylist friend of mines suggested the Babyliss Pro <br /> <br />Titanium irons. I purchased them from Amazon for $70 bucks and received them in about 5 days. "A miracle!!" I can't live without them now. My hair goes from frizzy/kinky to silky/straight/shiny in the blink <br /> <br />of an eye. The best part is that it "STAYS" silky and straight until the next time I need to wash and straighten. No gimmic here. I highly recommend them over chi and fhi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029086259913464331.post-61950843817446093652007-11-02T17:25:00.000-04:002007-11-02T17:25:00.000-04:00Personally, I don't care what they think of me or ...Personally, I don't care what they think of me or my friends that ride.... they can judge away. BUT.... if they would just learn how to drive, how to look in mirrors and also over shoulders... how to pay attention to what they are doing behind the wheel of a car, truck or SUV .... instead of eating, phoning, smoking, putting on make up, reprimanding kids, ... etc... man... would that be a rare treat to a biker. <BR/><BR/>I have been forced off the road and squeezed in between vehicles several times ... and some even have the nerve to laugh. Yes, I know it could be fear or just embarrassment...but, usually, at that moment, I wish I could trade seats with them just to let them know what it feels like to be scared out of my leathers. <BR/><BR/>My solution to poor drivers?? Force everybody who wants to drive a car to get their motorcycle license first. They would be sooooo much more careful of others sharing the roads..... . especially those on bikes.BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029086259913464331.post-78753363409078737742007-10-29T10:31:00.000-04:002007-10-29T10:31:00.000-04:00I never understood it until I became a "biker babe...I never understood it until I became a "biker babe."
