leading manufacturer of hair styling tools, including professional blow dryers
and straightening and curling irons- including the gorgeous PINK!!! FHI
Technique flat iron, and the FHI Nano Weight Pro 1800 blow dryer. FHI HEAT has
generously offered to partner with us beginning immediately through October,
2008, and will make a donation to PINK-LINK each time one of these pink products is
