Review: Aveda Botanical Kinetics Exfoliant

November 7, 2012 by Row

April 9, 2012 by Row

Tweet Happy Easter, Easter Bunnies! I hope you had a nice one. Today I am talking HAIR. Oh yes. Truth be told, my hair has been a disaster area for quite some time now, due to over processing. Dye – perm – dye – straightening treatment – dye – home straightening treatment – dye – remove dye – dye again – so on and so forth. The result was a frizzy orange mess which I was constantly trying to repair. {Read More}
