FHI HEAT introduces the Breast Cancer Awareness Ceramic Hairstyling iron with innovative tourmaline ceramic and exclusive proprietary Nano-FuzeionTM technology. The FHI Heat Platform Limited Edition Pink Breast Cancer iron contains a pink ribbon laced with Swarovski Crystals and includes a Bonus Thermal Heat Resistant Mat along with FHI Heat’s Rapid Effects Accelerating Thermal Styling spray as free gifts.
The FHI Heat Breast Cancer Awareness Ceramic Hairstyling iron is Low EMF and uses a large quantity of crushed tourmaline gemstones that makes the iron more effective in producing greater amounts of far-infrared heat that penetrates the hair shaft. With the aid of tourmaline, these irons produce more negative ions that help break water molecules and allow hair to be conditioned from the inside out. The line’s superior high quality is reflected in the 3 layers of baked ceramic coat and the size of the PTFC heater (which is larger than any other on the market) that contributes to the Platform’s ultra-rapid heating ability to quickly reach 450 degrees and cut the time in half. The beveled edges allow the option to curl hair. Additionally, the Proprietary Nano-Fuzeion Technology seals the cuticle to lock in moisture and repel humidity eliminating frizz and producing unmatched conditioning and shine. FHI Heat will donate a percentage of the proceeds to Breast Cancer Research.

The American Cancer Society recommends that women give themselves a monthly breast self-exam when their skin is wet—ideally, in the shower. Our organic aromatherapy system makes this routine self-check more relaxing and pleasant, which motivates women to do it more consistently. The refreshing, 100% organic botanicals used in Essio aromatherapy for the shower (essioshower.com), such as Lavender, Sweet Orange and Peppermint, make a shower seem like a trip to the spa!
