 _{The Thermal Booster Brushes from Turbo Power}

_{Introducing: Magnesium brushes.  Flat brushes. The professional stylists are already raving about them—and now you can tell your readers about them first!}

_{Magnesium. The Thermal Booster Brushes from Turbo Power, maker of the famed Twin Turbo 3200 hair dryer.}

_{Magnesium really is better than ceramic (or ceramic coated). Here's why:}

_{The Thermal Booster brush collection contains magnesium rods which boost hair dryer hear.  The rods in the brushes heat up faster, hotter and actually better than anything else-including ceramic coated brushes. And, because these are rods, air from hair dryers (yes, our favorite dryer in particular, the Twin Turbo 3200) circulates rapidly and heats the rods quickly and evenly ... unlike any other brushes. When you either pull hair straight, or roll it around the magnesium brushes, it offers more, more, and yes, more in the way of shine and the ability to hold a style -- straight or curled--longer than any other brush on the market.}

_{And then there’s the new flat brush.  Why pull and pull hair around a round brush to get it straight? Use flat magnesium Thermal Booster brush, get it REALLY straight and then finish it with a flat iron.}

_{What makes magnesium brushes the brush of choice among the world’s best stylists? These are thermal brushes with outstanding diffusion of heat to hair. The heating element is composed of 2.5mm diameter vertical rods in magnesium composite, with wide vents to channel the flow of hot air. The brush guarantees a level of performance that you have never experienced before. It will dry and straighten hair evenly and quickly. And, because they're made in Italy, where no one has a bad hair day, you know they're designed for the professional to make every woman look fabulous!}

_{How to use the magnesium brushes?}

_{See the tips below from Frederico Guglielmo of Frederico Salon White Plains and Salon PF Rye Brook} 

_{“Magnesium brushes are terrific because the heat from the blow dryer and the metal bars heat up and make the hair really nice and smooth.}

_{“With the TwinTurbo you can get air that’s really hot, so with your brush, lift from root area to give maximum lift and body.}

_{“To start, at home, when you do your own hair, shampoo, towel dry and then blow dry without brush to get the water out.}

_{“Then section hair in three areas. Start from the bottom; use the Magnesium Thermal booster brush.  Use the nozzle that comes with the Twin Turbo 3200 because it concentrates the heat in one area. Right where you want it to be dried.}

_{“To get lift from the root, place the brush underneath the hair and lift hair in opposite direction of where you want it to fall. Then, aim the blow dryer right at the brush. Almost as if the brush is a hair roller.  You're going to want the dryer heat on heat on top. So position the hair on the brush. Then pick up the dryer and blow dry on top of the hair for 30 seconds, then wait another 30 seconds-- you do 30 seconds and then wait and another 30 seconds and wait so you don’t burn the hair.}

_{“With the flat brush, follow the same technique. You’ll get amazing lift and volume with hair that's straight—but not flat!”}
