A Curly Hair Care Share!
I made an unlikely hair care discovery while in Italy and need to share with all my curly hair readers. Whenever I see someone who is rockin’ their wavy locks, I ask what product they are using. This may seem odd to anyone without curly hair, but having wavy or coiled hair is a whole situation. One of the women on my tour in Sicily has GREAT curls and this is the curl activator product* tip she shared with me! I tried it and LOVE the results. Less frizz and more curl definition. It has replaced at least three products, which is such a gift when packing for a long trip.
