redken (1)

// BUMBLE & BUMBLE MENDING COMPLEX (Available from Mecca Cosmetics) I really appreciate the guy who invented this product. Not because he must have spent a lot of time creating different potions but because the main people he had in mind were the girls of the world with frizzy hair. So thanks, dude. Since having [...]

I’ve had to deal with curly, unruly hair that’s been hard to manage my whole life {well, since I got it cut into a bob when I was ten and suddenly it decided it didn’t want to be straight anymore}. Curls can be hard to style and many people don’t like them, so much so [...]
