The holidays are a time of joyous giving and heartwarming acts of kindness. In the spirit of giving back, CHI Haircare recently worked with The Kelly Clarkson Show to honor volunteer firefighters Lupe Clary and Dawn Kunkel with makeovers.
Their story and friendship began in 2011. Clary, a breast cancer survivor, and Kunkel were friends bonded for life through a heart-wrenching tragedy. They were first responders on the scene of a fatal car accident that involved a 17-year-old male. Kunkel soon discovered that the victim was her own son. It was Clary who helped Kunkel get through the tragic loss.
The touching story resonated with Dr. Farouk Shami, Founder and Chairman of Farouk Systems, Inc., who wanted give the two women a special day as beautiful as their friendship.
“We’re thrilled to give these women a makeover using CHI products,” said Dr. Shami, prior to the taping of the show. “We wanted to treat them to an unforgettable experience that celebrated their beauty, inside and out.”
CHI Global Board Artist Anna Cantu and CHI Creative Artist Martha Torres were the talented styling team in charge of changing up the women’s looks. For the makeovers, the hairdressers used CHI LAVA tools, CHI Aloe Vera styling aids and the CHI Shine Shades color line.
After some time in the hair and makeup chair, Clary and Kunkel’s looks were revealed and the results were amazing!
After the transformations, Dr. Shami sat down with actress Karen Gillan, actor Sterling K. Brown and the daytime series’ host Kelly Clarkson to talk about the use of natural ingredients in CHI products.
“We’re firm believers of using natural, organic ingredients,” said Dr. Shami. “We want every hairdresser and consumer to use [environmentally] safe products.”
The holiday spirit of giving continued when Dr. Shami gave Clary and Kunkel all of the CHI products used for their makeovers. He also surprised audience members by giving out over 100 CHI Spin N Curls.

Oily hair is like oily skin. Sometimes that’s just how it is. And other times it’s that way because of the habits we keep. Of course, hair-type also plays a role in how oily strands will appear. All my fine-hair ladies (and I’m sure some with coarser hair too) know the slick hair struggle all too well; we’re constantly trying to find ways to make your hair look less greasy.
It’s planning at exactly what time during the day hair needs to be washed so it will still look good during your evening date. It’s trying to avoid touching it and flinching away when others do. It’s extended time in front of the mirror wondering if an up-do is good enough or if today is just a hat-day. But greasy hair tends to be like most other insecurities: It always seems worse on yourself than how others see it.
If you’re feeling like your hair is just too oily regardless, there are certain things you can do to keep the oil production under control. While these methods will help make your locks less greasy in both the short and long term, it is important to fully evaluate and understand your current habits so you know how to properly fix them. Here are eight steps you can take toward having balanced hair:
Applying conditioner all over can totally weigh hair down, causing oily roots. Instead, just apply conditioner from mid-shaft to ends.
It also pays to find a conditioner designed for oily hair types, like CHI Magnified Volume Conditioner. It is specifically developed for fine hair to add body and fullness, without leaving residue behind. Just make sure to use a small drop so you don’t overburden your hair.
If you thought tangled and dry locks were only a summer issue, think again: Damaged hair knows no season and if you’re noticing split, frayed ends, it’s a telltale sign you need to give your hair more TLC. Often caused by pollution, extreme weather conditions, and heat styling, split ends are all but inevitable — unless your beauty cabinet is stocked with the right products to treat and prevent them, of course.
To tame frizz, add shine, and reduce future breakage, consider adding CHI Silk Infusion to your daily routine. Because no one — we repeat: no one! — should have to shed tears over a split end.
In the winter, you rock a deep brunette. In the spring, you add some highlights. By summer, you’re nearly a blonde, and then in autumn, you start it all over. Color is part of your routine, and that’s what makes you so Insta-famous. If you have treated hair, this rich leave-in treatment will prevent fading all while taming your frizz and flyaways. Distribute a generous amount on wet hair about 15 minutes before drying or apply a dime size amount on dry hair to add life (read: shine) back into your look.
CHI Silk Infusion Silk Reconstructing Complex is a rich leave-in treatment enriched with silk, wheat, and soy proteins that will penetrate and help strengthen the hair, providing incredible softness, manageability and shine without build up.

Summer means rooftop get-togethers, fabulous weather, picnics in the park, and all the outdoor activities you can think of. Everyone’s out and about, Los días are brighter and longer, la gente seem happier, work hours miraculously become shorter, and the overall excitement is palpable.
However, hopping from soirée to soirée can leave us exposed to the elements, making our skin and hair prone to some beauty challenges. As Latinas, we know textured hair gets extra frizzy because of the humidity, and curls can get out of control. Once we start sweating, our makeup also suffers, giving us the dreaded pasty look that we try to avoid at all costs.
But these beauty inconveniences don’t need to get in your way. We’re giving you the lowdown on the hottest Summer trends and the Ulta Beauty products you can use to achieve them while still looking fresh in this Verano Caliente. Keep scrolling for all the details!
Protect your naturally textured hair from frizz with the right products. Beat the heat, stay cool, and Summer-proof your look with serums and leave-ins that will make it easier to take on the hottest Summer trend for hair: braids. We recommend Redken One United Multi-Benefit Treatment Spray, a leave-in (or rinse-out!) that conditions, eliminates frizz, adds shine, and protects against hair damage.
CHI Keratin Silk Infusion Reconstructing Complex heals and hydrates dry, damaged hair by retaining moisture and smoothing the hair cuticle. IGK Rich Kid Coconut Oil Gel is great for that touchable hold and shine without the crunch. SheaMoisture Green Coconut & Activated Charcoal Build-Up Blaster uses green coconut, activated charcoal, and white tea to remove buildup from your scalp and hair, but keeps your strands nourished.
