Recommendation for Curly Hair!

Hi, guys! It's been a while... Sorry about that!

Today I'm here with a new post about CURLY HAIR! If you have it, you know it is super hard to deal with! Well, after 15 years of not knowing what to do with my hair, I finally found a product that works for me!

It is called the "Aquage defining gel" and I got it at my hair salon. But if you can't make it to your hair salon right away, I found a link where you can purchase it online. It's actually cheaper than what I paid for at the salon...

I found an exact link for you to buy it for $16: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=344546&catid=183510&aid=338666&aparam=goobase_filler&device=c&network=g&matchtype=
How to Use This Product:

This product can be used after you wash your hair. Don't use a towel to dry your hair; you want your hair to be very damp when you apply the product.

Apply a small amount (about a nickel sized amount) of the product to your hair, focusing on the ends.
Work the product through with a WIDE TOOTHED COMB. It is really important you use a comb and not a brush, because a normal brush will damage your ends.

After you have combed the product through, leave your hair alone. Try not to touch or scrunch your hair. Let it dry naturally. 

Why Do I Recommend This Product?

I'm always on the go, and I have been looking for a product like this for a while. 
I find that after I use this product and when my hair dries, it is not frizzy AT ALL, even if I go outside into the humid-hot weather. 
It makes my curls look really nice and, well, defined as the product says. 

Overall, this is just a GREAT product. I don't think you will regret trying it out!

Email me with any questions/other hair product suggestions that have worked for you... livebeauty26@gmail.com

I hope you all are having an amazing summer <3
