A New “Natural” Look
I recently decided to stop getting relaxers and wear my hair as it grows out of my head…curly and coily. I’ve done this before. About ten years ago, I had a health issue that thinned my normally thick hair. I decided to wear weaves while my hair recovered. Soon my hair grew back longer than…

The first step is to download the mobile app. It will guide you through the process of customizing your skincare routine. Through the use…
