Power of Pink

Beauty salon providers are debuting special "pink" products to benefit breast cancer research and awareness.

Unfortunately, we all know courageous women whose lives have been completely crushed by a devastating breast cancer diagnosis. Suddenly, life ushers in a new and unfamiliar set of obstacles and hopeful futures are clouded by uncertainty, despair and fear. In 2012, over 227,000 women will be told, "You have breast cancer"; 40,000 women will die of the disease.

In an effort to eradicate breast cancer, many charitable companies have graciously stepped up to assist in battling the disease by offering special "pink" products. Proceeds benefit research, prevention, awareness and beyond-in the hopes that one day soon breast cancer will no longer be a threat to women. Here, we offer a look at the latest styling tools and products to go pink.
