Hope for the Breast
If it's October, it must be pink.
According to Breastcancer.org, About 1 in 8 U.S. women (just under 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
That's a rather devastating statistic.
About 39,520 women in the U.S. were expected to die in 2011 from breast cancer, though, luckily death rates have been decreasing since 1990-especially in women under 50.
These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances, earlier detection through screening and, of course, increased awareness.

It’s time to roll out the pink carpet for Breast Cancer Awareness month (BCA)!
In addition to holding fundraising events, these pink products will allow you to contribute even more to the Cause.
Your combined efforts will not only benefit your loved ones, friends and clients who’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer, but also the more than 1.9 million American women who are currently fighting this disease.
HOT encourages all beauty professionals to join the battle by supporting the charitable companies that are thinking pink.
Here are the latest styling tools and products to go pink.
