Friday Freebie: Cibu's Pho Finish
I wish I could tell you I've tested this stuff and given it a thumbs up. But I'm not a hair spray person (only because it wouldn't work on my hair if I tried).
But with any luck, you are.
Up for grabs this morning is Cibu's Pho Finish Workable Finishing Spray. I picked this one to pay homage to all the hair spray that will be used tonight around the area in preparation for the Inaugural Ball.
This is a 10-ounce spray aerosol can that's supposed to provide medium hold and has an "extra dose of shine." It also works as a heat styling aid and to control frizz. Cost is $14 at cibuinternational.com.
It's free to the first person to post and leave their e-mail address.
PS ... As a side note, I had a complaint last week from a reader who thought the 9-10 a.m. window was too short of a time for the freebie because too many of the same people were winning. If anyone has similar complaints, shoot them to me in an e-mail (samantha.smith@newsobserver.com). Of course, would love to make this fair to all, but within boundaries.

Haven't been fast enough to win more than once, but I'm not complaining. I just think it's great that you do the freebies.

Fri, 01/09/2009 - 10:10 — raleigh13I didn't know you posted the freebies between 9-10 ... No wonder I was always too late! You could rotate these postings: some in the AM, some mid-day/lunchtime/afternoon, some in the evening. Of course, this is depending on YOUR work schedule ;-) I know everyone appreciates your generosity ... Maybe you shouldn't be eligible if you've won in the last 30-days -- of course, people can have multiple accounts/aliases for posting. Oh well!
Freebies!
