Tame those tresses with a different kind of brush

I have always been jealous of those women with straight hair that is perfectly styled, not a hair out of place.

The Name's a Mouthful, But Just Because It's Mousse Doesn't Mean You Should Eat It.

I've never been one to put a whole lotta product in my hair.  Usually they leave my fine, wavy-ish blond (What***** Well, I didn't SAY it was naturally blond, now did I?) hair looking and feeling dull as dishwater, and maybe a little crunchy, and sometimes they even give me these little hurty … [Read more...]
