FAQ
Does a hot air brush damage hair?
Any heat tool can damage hair if overused. Use heat protectant, start on low heat and don't use it on soaking-wet hair.
Wet Brush or Bautero?
For most people the Wet Brush is enough and far cheaper. The Bautero pays off on curly, coily or very dense hair.
Do anti-cellulite creams work?
They hydrate and temporarily improve how skin looks, but none permanently eliminates cellulite.
