With its easy-to-use design and lightweight construction, you’ll be able to take it with you wherever you go. According to Walmart, the ceramic coated plates are “infused with keratin and almond.” Keratin is a protein that can be found in skin, hair, and nails. It’s often used to repair damaged hair. So, if you are looking for stronger, smoother, shinier hair, and better control, this is for you.
In addition to this, its energy-efficient ceramic heater allows for “one-pass styling” for your hair. While one pass sounds nice, it’s important to also note that every hair type is different, ranging from curly to fine hair.
This affordable iron is easy to use. With just the press of a button, you can effortlessly achieve your desired hairstyle. Its quality performance paired with its budget-friendly price makes it an ideal choice for anyone.

How to Stream the Dance Moms Reunion from Anywhere
Dance Moms: The Reunion premieres Wednesday, May 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The special, presented by Maybelline, will feature interviews with the cast and a look back at memorable moments, plus updates on the cast and the “lasting impact” that the show has had on their entertainment careers, per Lifetime.
Can you watch Lifetime without cable? Of course! And it doesn’t have to cost you anything up front.
Lifetime is available to stream on Philo, DirecTV Stream, Fubo and other platforms that offer access to the cable network such as Hulu + Live TV, SlingTV and Prime Video (use ExpressVPN to stream internationally).
How to Watch Lifetime for Free
You can watch Lifetime for free when you subscribe to a free trial to streamers such as Philo and DirecTV. Both have affordable streaming plans and a free trial for up to a week, but Philo is the cheaper among the two.
Philo is free for the first week, and $25 per month after the free trial ends. The streaming package includes 90+ channels: Lifetime, LMN, Logo, AMC, A&E, ID Network, HGTV, WEtv, BET, CMT, VH1, MTV, Paramount Network, Nickelodeon, OWN and other channels.
DirecTV Stream is good for streaming live TV on a budget. With local channels in addition to cable networks such as CNN, MTV, BET, AMC, A&E, Paramount Network, Logo, ID, WEtv, OWN, FX, CMT, VH1, Bravo, Nickelodeon, E!, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, HGTV, MSNBC, Hallmark Channel and several other channels, DirecTV’s streaming plans start at $69.99 per month (when you add the Sports Pack).
The Dance Moms reunion will be available to stream MyLifetime.com beginning on Thursday, but you’ll need to log-in through your cable, streaming or satellite provider to watch.
Directly after the reunion, Lifetime will debut a new compilation show, Dance Moms: Epic Showdowns, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The weekly series, hosted by Christi Lukasiak, will showcase the most “explosive dance battles and jaw-dropping meltdowns from the series” including the moms and dance teacher Abby Lee Miller.
On Monday, the cast of Dance Moms stopped by Good Morning America to talk about the special and their time on the show. “The first word that comes up is legendary,” Siwa said of being on the show. “I feel like everyone on here has had some sort of legendary experience with Dance Moms.”
Centered around Miller’s dance company and a team of young dancers (and their mothers), the Lifetime reality series premiered in 2011 and aired for eight seasons.

Springtime means cooler weather, and for some, overbearing allergies.
Luckily, air purifiers can help the allergy-stricken find some relief. But regardless of whether you have allergies, it’s good to have an air purifier on deck. It’ll help get rid of dust, mold, pet dander, smoke and more.
To get you on the right track, we commissioned the help of Anna Chan, Billboard’s deputy editor on the digital side — and resident cat lover — to test out a few budget air purifiers that you can buy on Amazon and have delivered overnight, if you’re a Prime member (click here to launch your 30-day free trial).

Below, find our review of the three best air purifiers under $200. The list below includes options that are perfectly giftable for Mother’s Day.
LEVOIT Core Mini Air Purifier
If you’re looking for a smaller, no-frills, plug-and-play air purifier for a cozier room, this could be the winner. Setup takes mere minutes, and the unit – which has three stages of filtration — is streamlined with just one button: The power button.
Trending on Billboard
It turns the unit on/off and control fan speed, which has low, medium and high options. It also has to displays: fan speed and the “check filter” indicator, which turns red when attention is needed.
Amazon
Best air purifier under $50
LEVOIT Core Mini Air Purifier for Bedroom Home, 3-in-1 Filter Cleaner with Fragrance
Size: 6.5” x 6.5” x 10.4”, 2.2 lbs Smart Controls: No Setup Time: Less than 5 minutes Filter Refill Cost: $24.99
The fan is also pretty quiet, and is practically silent when on the lowest setting. The medium setting is pretty soft and nearly unnoticeable, even for this very light sleeper. The highest setting – for when your air quality isn’t great – is noticeable, but not distracting.
One nice little bonus is the built-in aromatherapy tray. Simply pop it open, and add your essential oils to the little pad as needed. Don’t want or need to use this feature? Pretend it’s not there!
Pros: This small unit fits great on a nightstand or dresser, and barely takes up any space. It’s also very light at barely two pounds, so it’s easy to move around too.
It’s so quiet you won’t know it’s on, making this a great air purifier for bedrooms. It comes with a little aromatherapy drawer/pad built in, so you won’t need a separate aromatherapy machine in the room.
Cons: The lack of smart controls means you can’t turn it on/off, adjust the fan speed or check the air quality of the room remotely. And it’s pretty small, so probably may not be as efficient for anything bigger than a medium-sized bedroom.
Conway’s Airmega True HEPA Air Purifier not only boasts the ability to help purify the air in your home, but does so while looking sleek. (Think super large iPod Shuffle in black or white.) The unit and its three fan speed, four-stage filtration system isn’t huge – though it feels a tad large for a tiny New York City apartment – but it does seem to get the job done with minimal user effort. The control panel features an air-quality indicator (blue = good, purple = moderate, red = unhealthy) and five buttons – power, fan speed, filter change reset, timer and ionizer, though the ionizer isn’t explained in the user manual, so its purpose is unclear to this basic tester.
bang for your buck
Coway Airmega AP-1512HH(W) True HEPA Purifier with Air Quality Monitoring
$159.99
$229.99
30% off
Size: 16.8” x 18.3” x 9.6”, 12.3 lbs. Smart Controls: No Setup Time: Less than 10 minutesFilter Refill Cost: $59.79
The air-quality sensor seems pretty sensitive, and for me, the unit automatically kicked into high gear after a minute of sautéing food in a cast-iron pan, even when the fan in the range hood was on high. Speaking of cooking, the unit boasts the ability to deodorize thanks to the carbon filter, and while it does so a little, it’s no match for someone like me who uses a cast-iron pan daily. Just a little oil and some eggs and hash browns is enough to leave a lingering scent all day in this small apartment despite the unit running the entire time, though it is a little less noticeable than when I didn’t have the Airmega.
To further prove its sensitivity, the Airmega’s fan speed also went from low to medium immediately after I applied some spray hair wax in a nearby room, and completely skipped the medium setting for high alert/max fan speed when I barely cracked my living room window open on the first nice day of spring.
While the max fan speed is quite loud (roughly 53 dB(A), according to Coway), it does have the added bonus of seemingly cooling down the air temperature too, which could be a bonus in the summer months.
Pros: For those of us trying to be cognizant of our electrical use, the unit’s Eco Mode is a great feature. After 30 minutes of the air quality being “good,” the Airmega’s fan switches off automatically to conserve energy. And as soon as it senses a drop in air quality drops, it’s back on.
The air-quality sensor appears to be pretty sensitive, so this could be a good unit for anyone suffering from allergies or other respiratory issues. And it’s pretty!
Cons: The biggest bummer for me was the unit’s lack of smart controls. My apartment may be small, but I’m still sometimes too engrossed in my TV shows (read: lazy) to get up and turn the air purifier down, or off. It’d also be nice to be able to turn the unit on/off from my phone while I’m away from home.
With con No. 1 noted, I should also point out that on max speed, the air purifier gets loud, like, crank the TV volume waaaaaaaay up loud. (It also woke me up one night when the air quality apparently became bad for some unknown reason, and the unit kicked in on max speed. Alas, without smart controls on my phone, I could not turn it back down without getting out of bed. Spoiler alert: I did not get up.)
This unit sure does attract cat hair! While unboxing the Airmega and putting it together, it seemed to summon all of my little black cat’s fur from the living room to its casing, as if it were Magneto grabbing all of my silverware with a wave of his fingers. Unluckily for me, my Airmega is white, and my beloved feline is black.
The user manual is really bare bones, causing minor confusion with the filters during setup, and doesn’t explain how the eco mode or ionizer work. Also, the filter replacement cost is pretty darn high.
Good things do come in smaller packages! The Vital 100S is a nice little unit that not only takes up just a small amount of floor space and is quite light, it seems to do a pretty good job of detecting air quality and improving it with its three-stage filtration system while keeping fan noise pretty low. The 100S detects four levels of air quality and is color-coded on the sleek display on top: very good (blue), good (green), moderate (orange) and bad (red). In terms of sensitivity, this unit kicks in quickly when I start cooking on the stovetop with a cast-iron skillet, and within minutes of me turning on my aromatherapy machine.
air purifier for large rooms
LEVOIT Air Purifiers for Home Large Room Bedroom Up to 1110 Ft²
Size: 12.6” x 6.3” x 16”, 7.26 lbs. Smart Controls: Yes Setup Time: Less than 10 minutes Filter Refill Cost: $31.99
The Vital 100S is also marketed for homes with furry little friends running around. It boasts a Pet mode, which, according to Levoit, “alternates between fan speeds to keep your air clean and virtually odor-free with energy efficiency.” The U-shaped air inlet is also supposed to help capture fur and other larger particles (perhaps human hairs?).
Another highlight is the unit’s VeSync app, which is pretty handy and incredibly easy to set up. Once on your phone, the app allows users to turn the unit on/off remotely, displays the current air quality of your home, and also alerts you when air quality drops and fan speed increases, and vice versa. It also shows you the history of your indoor air quality, as well as filter life, lets you create a schedule and more.
Pros: It’s quite compact, attractive and easy to tuck into homes with limited space. The app is super easy to use and adds a level of convenience that’s worth the extra cost.
It’s a very quiet unit, and when in Sleep Mode, you won’t even know it’s on while you snooze!
Cons: Like the Coway Airmega, the Vital 100S boasts odor control, but neither unit was able to eliminate basic stovetop cooking scents. And while neither was great at this, the Airmega did outperform the Levoit on odor elimination by a smidge.
The app may show you the filter life left, but that can also be a downside. After three weeks of testing, the filter life had already gone down by 5%.
