2024 has been a wild ride gone in a flash. Managed to do a small trim and ended the year on a high hair note. Work, health and life have kept me from writing more.

Having a focused line up also means I can work on my technique, diet, exercise, rest etc because I know the products work. Hope your hair is thriving. Do you have back up products that...
