The only news that matters: the Revlon Volumizer!
https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2020/1/17/21068733/revlon-one-step-hair-dryer-volumizer-amazon-target-walmart
That’s so funny, I was just getting my hair cut the other day and I mentioned to my stylist how much I loved my Revlon volumizer, and she was like “Those things have been around since the 70s!”
Truly, it is the only way I can make my hair straight by myself. I have incredibly thick curly hair, so I don’t have the strength or dexterity to blow out my hair the normal way. I love it so much. I used to have to pay my stylist $65 for a blowout any time I wanted to look fancy.
The only caveat is that I do have to dry my hair like 80% dry with a regular blow dryer first because the Revlon isn’t powerful enough to completely dry my VERY thick hair on its own.
Kat, you should listen to this! This webcast from LAW.COM is great and talks all about how women have to deal with opportunities for advancement in BIGLAW, and why we, as women, have to deal with the gender gap and be strong to be successful in the private law firm market. I encourage the ENTIRE hive to read this podcast, from the NY Law Journal. Or, if you have an iphone, you can listen to it on Apple Podcasts, FREE! I love the INTERNET! YAY!!!
