I started using a curling iron when I was eleven years old.  It was the early 90s and having big bangs sprayed into submission, standing straight up and curled back were all the rage.  I have no idea what we were thinking.  But we sure did feel cool.  These days I still use a curling iron but to create much more natural and flattering looks - at least I hope so!  My go-to hairstyle is creating soft waves all over that compliment my natural wavy hair.  The end result is having hair that looks like I just woke up that way - but we girls know better!  For my job I have to travel a lot and checking a bag is never an option.  Usually I’m gone for less than two nights and I have a meeting that I have to rush to as soon as I get off the plane - who has time to wait for a checked bag to come through?  With packing lightly and efficiently in mind, I got a travel ceramic curling iron that is compact and has its own heat resistant case so that I can style my hair and throw it in my bag without worrying about burning my new suit jacket.  I still look polished at meetings on the road - nary a starched bang in sight!

As an aspiring actress, I never know where my day will take me.  I can think that I have no auditions for the day and my agent will call me for a last minute casting.  You can’t ever turn down an opportunity so I have no choice but to be ready whenever the phone rings.  I don’t always leave my house with my hair and makeup ready for auditions though.  That is why I had to invest in a travel curling iron.  I didn’t even know that they made travel curling irons but one day I was telling my friend an embarrassing story about how bad my hair looked at a last minute audition and she looked at me like I was crazy.  “Why don’t you have a travel curling iron in your car?” she asked.  Well, the answer was simple:  I didn’t know any better.  Turns out you can get a travel curling iron that is battery powered and it will heat up and be ready to fix your hair whenever you need it.  I can’t tell you how many times my travel curling iron has come in handy–and it’s as good as any of the best curling irons!  I can freshen up my look between auditions, in my car, in the Starbucks bathroom - wherever I can find a mirror!  And sometimes even when I don’t have a mirror.  No matter what, my hair always looks more polished and presentable when I have my travel curling iron ready to go.
