    Best product for softening those curls

    This is one of the best products I’ve found to take the frizz and soften and define my curls. I’ve tried lots of professional products and this is my new favorite!

    Holy Grail

    I love using this for slick back styles. My hair is straight with a lot of flyaways when up, and this keeps all the hair in place while also not making it greasy. My hair is super prone to getting greasy fast and this just makes it soft, shiny and easy to work with.
