I have always maintained thick eyebrows with the exception of the few times that the estheticians "took half of my eyebrows off!"  I had to grow them all the way back in.

I only mention this because your eyebrows can give you some insight about whether your hair is fine, medium, or coarse.   Thinner eyebrows may mean that your hair on top of your head is fine to medium, but it has nothing to do with your hair's density on top.  You can have fine hair, but have a lot of density.

Thicker eyebrows usually signifies a coarseness to the hair.  Also, look at the curl of your eyebrows before you brush them for insight into your curl pattern.

The Comeback: The stove and Marcel Irons!

Ebony Magazine September 2012 edition showcases a photo shoot with a stylist using a marcel curling iron in hand. Halleujah! The flat irons are finally coming under fire! One of my clients mentioned that the Dr. Oz show had a dermatologist confirming the dangers of flat iron usage within the last few months.

Also, in this recent 2012 advertisement for professional ear protectors, the stove, pressing comb, and marcel irons are side by side of the ionic flat irons! Hello! Finally, my beauty industry colleagues are seeing the light!

By the way, would you pay $20.00 USD for these Mimi's Ear Shields?
