There's no doubt that my constantly styled mane is thirsty, and with summer practically at our doorstep (Oh, hello there, summer!) I've been a bit stressed that my hair will get seriously dehydrated. While serums and deep conditioners prove effective during the winter months, in the summer, we need something more to pull off that sleek, sexy, shampoo-commercial look, right?

Thank you, Jose Eber, for launching the Therapy RX Moisture Boosting Tool, the first of its kind. Part-flat iron, part-hydration gadget, this tool is definitely unique -- but does it really work?

First off, the "iron" must be plugged in get the infrared technology working, which opens the hair follicles, which is what allows for a leave-in treatment to fully saturate the hair shaft. The weird part? There's no heat -- so while it may look like the iron you've used over and over again to flatten curls, it's not. At all.

The team at Jose Eber then suggests applying a leave-in treatment to maximize the moisturizing results before "flat-ironing" one-and-a-half inch sections of your strands. So yeah, after I applied what I'm currently rolling with -- L'Oreal Professional's Mythic Oil -- I would spend about 20 minutes not-flat-ironing the moisturizer into my strands. And you know what? After just 2 weeks of use (with only two treatments per week) my hair looked Pantene-commercial ready.

But, the true test came when I pawned the tool off onto my BFF who has been highlighting her hair since age 12. (Oops, did I just spill her secret that she's not a natural blonde?) Regardless, it's no secret that her hair had been looking noticeably parched. After just 10 days of use her hair looked brighter, healthier, and undeniably softer -- crazy, considering the directions insist it'll take a month to work. Would you put a dent in your pocket for perfect hair? We say yes; this gadget is DEF worth the money -- about $200. Go save your strands before summer starts!
