WE’VE ALL BEEN there. You get out of the shower. You are lulled into a false sense of security. Your hair feels fine …
… And then you dry it, and it feels like a chewed up Bratz makeover head.
Maybe you used too much product. maybe the product was too heavy for your precious head. Or maybe you have enough product build-up to wash the heads of every child on the road.
