***I don’t know about you, but I think Diane Krueger looks incredible in that golden yellow dress and her hair was perfect!***

Nominee Diane Kruger’s glamorous asymmetrical Jason Wu gown was the inspiration for the soft, romantic side-chignon that celebrity stylist Mark Townsend created for the SAG awards.

“I started by taking a small amount of Moroccanoil® Treatment and finger combed it through Diane’s dry hair” explained Townsend. “The original Moroccanoil® is super light-weight and absorbs right in, to give the hair amazing shine without weighing it down.

“I then took 2 inch sections of hair and wrapped them around a 1 and ½ inch curling iron to create waves all over the head. Next, I took a small amount of Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream in my palms and then raked my hands through the hair to break up the waves, eliminate any fly-aways, and give the hair a soft hold. Next, I gathered her hair behind her left ear and
loosely braided it, gathering about an inch from the bottom, then looped the end of the braid back up and pinned it behind her left ear.

I finished by giving the style hold with L’Oreal Elnett Extra Strong Hold Hairspray followed by a light misting of Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray.

Moroccanoil® Treatment. a proprietary argan oil-infused formula, is exclusively designed to give hair a natural-looking silky, lustrous shine and a frizz- and static-free finish. It strengthens, conditions and revitalizes hair while significantly reducing drying time by up to 40%.

*** Robert Vetica did it again! Did you see how sleek and chic Marion’s hair looked?***

Marion Cotillard’s romantic, somewhat retro hair look for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, created by celebrity stylist Robert Vetica, was the perfect accent for the dramatic short white dress that she wore.

The look was a creative mix of ultra-smooth, shiny texture with a deconstructed, somewhat messy bun. Rich, silky shine and smooth texture was essential to the success of the look, explained Vetica.

“I started by applying Moroccanoil® Treatment on wet hair to give the maximum shine possible and an easy blow-dry. Next, I applied Moroccanoil® Hydrating Cream, for definition and soft hold, and created a low side part. I then pin-curled the sides toward the direction the face, and then pin-curled another section in the back to give hair added movement.

Once the hair was dry, I brushed it out, took the full length of hair and made a ponytail. Next, I wrapped a million dollar emerald and diamond bracelet from Chopard around the base of the ponytail, and pinned it
strategically into a messy bun.

I finished the look with a light misting of Moroccanoil® Glimmer Shine Spray to give hair a luminous finish that would last throughout the evening.

Thank God she had Mark on her side and thank God he used Moroccanoil in her hair to control the frizz from that wet-wet-wet day in Los Angeles!

>>> I got the behind the scope details on January Jones’s hair style from the Golden Globe Awards from her stylist and I have no doubt you can use some of these tips to create your own glamorous looks!

Inspired by her gorgeous black Lanvin dress, Townsend created a head-turning look that was boldly accessorized with a sleek black ribbon headband.

“As soon as I saw the dress I knew I wanted to put her hair up,” said Townsend, “and I think that adding the satin ribbon as a headband gave a classic French twist with a very modern edge.”

I started by applying a small amount of Moroccanoil® Treatment to January’s damp hair and blow-dried it with a round brush.  This unique argan oil-infused formula gives the hair amazing shine and silky finish, an essential to the look I had in mind.

When the hair was dry, I took a dollop of Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream into my hands and then finger combed the hair to give a soft hold and add even more shine and leave the hair extremely smooth.

Finally, I gathered the hair into a French twist and secured with about 10 bobby pins. To give her a progressive, chic look I used satin ribbon as a headband.”

I’ve gotten Robert Vetica behind the scene secrets on how he managed to make Marion even more beautiful than usual.

You’ll want to read his Hollywood hair secrets to try to recreate the look on your own!

“I wanted a look that was glamorous, but with an edge,” said Vetica, “and was inspired by the rock and roll pompadours of the 50s, strengthened with a sleek, modern French twist.”

Since shiny, healthy-looking hair was essential to the look, I first applied argan oil-infused Moroccanoil Treatment® to wet hair, and blow-dried it straight using a diffuser to keep a bit of natural texture.

Then I pin-curled the entire head front to back, so that hair would easily flow back and up into the pompadour shape. After releasing the pin curls, I ran Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream through the hair with my hands.

After brushing back and up, I back combed the top, and pulled the sides back tight, leaving some volume on top. Next, I twisted the hair into a tight French twist, which was then asymmetrically attached with eye-catching diamond hair clips created by Chopard.  I finished the look with a light misting of Moroccanoil® Glimmer Shine Spray to give Marion’s hair a beautiful, naturally luminous shine.”

I’ll admit that I found her dress to be a bit too casual for the event, but I did find her hair and makeup to be flawless. May I say that her super high heels were killer! And did you see the size of that necklace she was wearing? Talk about bejewelled!

Lancôme’s new ambassadress has made an appearance as a nominee for her starring role in Duplicity.

We’ll soon be seeing Julia in the Eat Pray Love movie due out in August of this year.

Celebrity make-up artist Genevieve created her look crediting all make-up to Lancôme.

First, Genevieve applied Lancôme Bienfait Multi Vital Teinté to Julia’s flawless complexion.

Just a hint of color was applied to the cheeks with Lancôme Color Design Cream Blush in Petticoat Pink. Genevieve used her finger to apply and pressed the color on to Julia’s cheeks.

To create a dramatic eye, Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony was used. Several coats of Lancôme Définicils Pro Mascara in Black created lush, dark lashes. Genevieve opted for a soft natural-looking pout.

She applied Lancôme Le Lipstique lip liner in Natural Mauve then coated the lips with Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge in Coquette and topped with Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Hallucination for a high-shine finish.

Star stylist Enzo Angileri who created the look, was inspired by the glamorous metallic sheen of her gown. He created a rich texture emphasized by intense waves, smoothness, and shine. “I wanted her to look glamorous and goddess-like,” said Angileri, “and the hair had to look luminous.”

“Holly’s hair and color is beautiful,” said Angileri, “and I wanted to bring out its deep gold and honey tones for the cameras. Shine was everything in this look since these amazing highlights wouldn’t be at all visible in hair that was not shiny enough to reflect the light — especially on camera and in photos.

Angileri first enriched, smoothed and defined the texture of her hair with argan oil-infused Moroccanoil® Intense Curl Cream applied before blowdrying.

“This gave me a great start because the hair immediately looked moisturized and healthy, and had the hold to be styled,” said Angileri.  “I blow dried it without a brush, and the shine and texture I achieved with this product alone was incredible.”

Next Angileri used a small 3/4-inch curling iron all over the head to create relaxed natural looking waves. Afterwards, he asked her to share her hair upside down, then sprayed Moroccanoil® Glimmer Shine Spray throughout the strands. “I didn’t use hairspray because I wanted the look to be as soft as possible and to be free to fall sensuously forward on her face.”

Products used for Holly Hunter’s look:

1) Moroccanoil® Intense Curl Cream for beautiful, bouncy, naturally shiny curls.

2) Moroccanoil® Glimmer Shine Spray for weightless, natural silky-looking shine.

Debra Messing’s head-turning look was one of the most beautiful seen at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

Complimenting her dramatic red Michael Kors gown, star stylist Robert Vetica created a truly inspired low, asymmetrical ponytail shaped into a free-flowing cluster of curls that resembled an elegant chignon.

“It was all about style complemented by sensuous movement and healthy, natural-looking ease,” said Vetica. “A smooth, shiny texture was the essence of the look.”

The technique was as brilliant as the look, and was achieved without any curling or flat irons, using only Moroccanoil® Treatment, Moroccanoil® Glimmer Shine Spray, a blowdryer and a round brush.

To ensure smooth, natural-looking and weightless shine, Vetica first generously applied argan-oil infused, original Moroccanoil Treatment to

Messing’s coarse textured, curly wet hair. “Her hair loves the ultra-light richness of Moroccanoil® Treatment and it absorbs in instantly without any residue.  There’s nothing else like it for this kind of shine,” said Vetica.

Next, he blow dried sections of hair with a 1 1/2-inch round tourmaline brush and clipped each section in place to cool and set, and to help retain its movement and wave.

The style itself was easy to create.  “I first made a low side part, gently brushed hair back and pulled it behind Debra’s right ear and held it in place with a few bobby pins and a elastic hair band.”  Vetica then pulled the right side forward, letting it drop over her right eye. “My homage to Veronica Lake,” he noted.  Finally the relaxed ponytail (on the right side), was fluffed to perfection, and he added a spritz of Moroccanoil® Glimmer Shine Spray followed by light spritz of hair spray.

“The thoughtful preparation of the hair allowed the relaxed ease and hold of the style, and the use of Moroccanoil® Treatment and Moroccanoil® Glimmer Shine Spray and the heat of the blowdryer insured brilliant shine and great condition.”

Products used for Debra Messing’s look:

1) Moroccanoil® Treatment for beautiful, extra shine and smoothness.

Catherine Zeta Jones

>>> David Babaii reveals the techniques he used on Catherine Zeta-Jones:

1) After gently towel-drying her hair to remove excess water, I warmed a small amount of Hair Polish in the palms of my hands before applying it through the hair. I’ve found warming this product actually boosts its ability to seal the cuticle, while repairing and strengthening each strand. Not to mention the shine!

2) Next, I dried her hair using my David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment and a large round brush to smooth hair straight. Try to avoid any metal coated brushes. These brushes only generate unnecessary heat and will cause hair to be baked not dried. I sectioned her hair first: top, sides and back. To begin, I started by drying the nape area first and then proceeded until her entire head was dry.

3) Finally, to achieve her sleek straight look I went through her hair with my David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron with Tourmaline and Ceramic technology. I did this by once again dividing her hair into three parts again: top, sides and back. Starting at the nape area and taking small sections at a time, I combed the hair before running the flat iron through.

4) For the mega watt shine, I applied an additional amount of Hair Polish after the entire head was straightened. This created her mirror finish.

On Monday night at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute Gala, celebrity hair stylist David Babaii had the pleasure of working with Stella McCartney, Liv Tyler, and Kate Hudson to achieve three fantastic red carpet looks.

I was able to get some of these hair styling tips for my readers!

You’ll find below all the hair styling secrets for Stella McCartney, Liv Tyler, and Kate Hudson below:

Kate Hudson To start, I sprayed our David Babaii for WildAid Bohemian Beach Spray and distributed evenly through the hair to create the volume, texture and lift I was looking for.

Next, I used the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer on medium heat and medium air flow. I used my hands instead of a brush so I could create texture. To create her beachy waves I did some soft scrunching and twisting small strands around my fingers until dry. I finished this look with David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray for a lightweight touchable hold.

Stella McCartney: For this straight shiny look, I prepared her hair with David Babaii for WildAid Hair Polish to achieve a smooth, sleek and ultra shiny finish. Next, I used the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with a large round brush to create soft curves to the ends. To finish, I sprayed some David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Lift on my fingers to create my new texturizing technique called “bumps”.  I created “bump-like” bursts of volume throughout the hair for lift and style variation.

Liv Tyler: To create this Sophia Loren inspired look, I used a large barrel curling iron by FHI Heat. First, I parted her hair to the side using the highest point of the eyebrow as my guide. Then I created 4 sections (top, sides and nape) for total control. Before curling each section, I sprayed David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Lift to each strand then clip each curl. This provided the volume and lift needed for any special event. Next, gently brush curls out using your fingers and allowing curls to fall into a natural pattern. To finish, I sprayed David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Extra Hold Styling Spray that provides not only maximum hold but leaves hair with a brilliant shine.

I’ll admit that when I found out that Jessica Simpson used hair pieces to enhance the volume of her hair, I was fairly surprised because I thought she already had a fairly full head of hair. It’s only when I watched a few segments on the Shopping Channel, that I realized how sneaky these hair pieces, created by Jessica’s hairdresser Ken Paves, were because unless I had seen the before and after shots, I truly would never (EVER) know that was not Jessica’s hair.

Watching Ken Paves change a woman’s look and face just by adding a layer of hair is simply fascinating.

It’s true that you can easily get hair extensions if you are looking for more length or more volume or if you have thinning hair, but that option is very costly and very time consuming (it can take half a day to get extensions put in). Ken Paves offers a fast and inexpensive solution that is a great way to change your look for an evening or for the Holidays.

Ken Paves and Jessica Simpson’s hairdo(TM) Clip-In Extensions helps you revamp your style without cutting a strand and without having to wait months before your hair grows out.

If you’ve always dreamt of having Angelina Jolie hair, but your hair takes forever to grow or you have very baby fine hair, the Hairdo(TM) Clip-In Extensions is an easy way to get the look with only a few clips.

Everyone from Kate Walsh (“Private Practice” and “Grey’s Anatomy”) … to Katie Holmes …. To Victoria Beckham … to Katherine Heigl (“Grey’s Anatomy”) … to Eva Longoria Parker (Desperate Housewives) are all sporting a short bob these days. If you’ve been tempted, but you’ve not had the courage to cut off your locks, the Hairdo Clip-In Extensions is a fun way to try on the most popular hair style of the moment with little commitment on your part.

jessica_simpson_hairdo_ken_paves_8

Along with the many styles that Ken and Jessica have already designed, you’ll find these four new ones:

1) Hairdo^TM 10 Piece Human Hair Clip-In Extensions: This style adds volume or non-chemical highlights in an instant. Just clip in the 10 piece extensions anywhere you want and add fullness to thin and fine hair or enrich dull, everyday hair with highlights and/or lowlights. Made from 100% fine human hair, the extensions consist of 10 wefts of 16″ long hair, which can be worn alone or in conjunction with other hairdo clip-in extension pieces. For example, you can add more length with a hairdo clip-in one-piece system and then add non-chemical highlights with the 10 piece system. To create a multi-textured look, curl the 10 piece extensions and clip-in to straight hair. The 10 piece system is available in 10 multi-tonal shades to match virtually any hair color.

2) HairdoTM 22″ Relaxed Curl Clip-In Extension: Glam-up your hair instantly with long, loose, cascading curls. They are made a fiber that remarkably mimics the look and feel of natural hair, this style is available in 16 multi-tonal shades for a below-the-shoulder look.

3) Hairdo^TM 25″ Clip-In Layered Straight Extension: These ultra-long extensions give you a super-straight, dramatic hairstyle, adding extreme length and major volume. The multiple layers throughout are ideal for women who have all-over layering in their own hair, seamlessly blending for a textured style. They are also available in 16 multi-tonal shades.

4) HairdoTM Human Hair Clip-In Fringe: Get a customized fashion bang without committing to cutting your hair. Made from 100% human hair, the Fringe can be cut, colored or permed to create any style.

The virtually undetectable clip-in can be put in and taken out in just minutes and is available in ten color levels to blend with your hair.

Do you remember how I described my reaction when I saw how stunningly beautiful Angelina Jolie was at the 2009 Oscar ceremony?

Just in case you missed it … here it is again:

“When Brad and Angie got out of their limo while I was tweetering, I held my breath because they looked so good together!”

May I say for the record that Angelina’s jewellery on Oscar night was so dazzling, so beautiful, so incredible that I thought I was going to cry … I wanted them so badly … but alas, my bling budget is not same as hers.

When I found out that I’d be able to get some behind the scene hair style secrets for both Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman, I knew my readers were in for a major treat!

David Babaii was the magician behind Angelina’s and Nicole’s perfectly coiffed hair:

David Babaii (who, along with Kate Hudson, has his own line of environmentally-friendly and cruelty-free products called David Babaii for WildAid) worked with both Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman at the 2009 Academy Awards on Sunday to achieve their jaw-dropping-red-carpet-looks.

I should make it clear that these tips come DIRECTLY from celebrity stylist David Babaii! Ladies, this kind of information is priceless!!!

Before we get started here’s an important insider’s tip: To achieve any Oscar Look it’s all about 4 main signature stages: drying, sectioning, curling and styling.

>>>> Here is the step-by-step to achieving Angelina Jolie’s look:

angelina_jolie_brad_pitt_2009_oscars

2) Next, I dried her hair by dividing her tresses into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

3) Taking small sections starting at the nape, use the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment and finish the drying process with a large round brush to smooth hair straight.

4) At the crown area, I sprayed David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier to the root area and down the hair shaft. Then, I dried this section with a jumbo round brush to add lift and volume.

5) Once dry, I sectioned the hair again using the same sectioning process as I did for blow drying. Using the David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron, I once again sectioned the hair into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

6) To curl, use the Styling Iron to create “ribbon curls” by taking small “V” shaped sections.

7) To achieve, wrap the hair around and inside the styling iron close to the scalp area and pull the iron down (similar to curling ribbon).

#8) After curling the entire head, I smoothed some of the curls with a brush while leaving some intact. At the crown area, I back-brushed the hair at the scalp area only, sprayed some additional Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier and gently smoothed the surface not to remove too much of the back-brushing.

9) Next, to create her half-up, half down look, I brushed the sides up and back and secured with pins. To complete the back, I ran my fingers up several curls to create volume and variations in texture.

10) For a long but natural lasting hold, I used David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray.

David Babaii Styling Tip: Why so much sectioning? It is vital to have constant control of your hair at all times. You will never miss an area or a section.

>>>> Here is the step-by-step to achieving Nicole Kidman’s look:

nicole_kidman_2009_oscar_2

1) After thoroughly towel drying, I applied David Babaii for WildAid Amplifying Whipped Mousse for volume and hold.

2) I dried the hair by dividing it into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

3) Creating small sections, start at the nape and use the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment.

4) Dry each section with a medium round brush to smooth and create a soft round bend to the ends. Once again, section the hair into 3 sections: top with a side part, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

5) To create waves, form “V” shaped pieces and use the David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron.

6) Run the styling iron down the hair shaft from close to the roots to the ends to create a sleek, smooth look.

7) Repeat, now half way down the hair shaft utilize the beveled edge by turning the styling iron (like a curling iron) to create a soft curl.

#8) Clip each curl and spray with David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray.

9) Alternate the direction of each row of curls in order to achieve a finger wave effect.

10) When finished, gently brush and form into soft waves using my David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray for a soft long lasting hold.

11) To finish, I brushed back one side and secured with a decorative hair pin.

David Babaii Styling Tip: Use “V” shaped sections helps to eliminate the appearance of partings.

>>>> If you missed Marion Cotillard’s Oscar 2009 hair style secrets, you can still catch it here: Do you want to know more about Marion Cotillard’s Oscar Hair Style?

I just LOVE the Oscars. Not only did I watch the entire show without zapping to another TV show once, but I also watched hours of pre-Oscar buzz as well! I liked every part of it and I even spent the entire pre-Oscar-red-carpet walk tweetering about my favourites and those dresses I just couldn’t understand.

I won’t go into details about who looked good and who didn’t because all the fabulous couture is all over the internet, but I will simply tell you what I told my friend Natasha: “When Brad and Angie got out of their limo while I was tweetering, I held my breath because they looked so good together!”

Well, I might not have held my breath when I saw Marion Cotillard’s hair, but I was dazzled and I couldn’t wait to know more about the little insider’s secrets behind such perfect hair!!!

Do you want to know how Marion Cotillard got her perfect Oscar hair?

marion_cotillard_oscar_2009_hairstyle

Top celebrity hair stylist Robert Vetica, who styled Marion Cotillard’s hair for her La Vie En Rose Best Actress Oscar win in 2008, once again created a flawless, dramatic look that worked to perfection with the elegant John Galliano for Christian Dior gown and shoes that she wore. Marion’s beautiful jewellery was courtesy of Chopard Jewellers!!!

Robert Vetica created a shimmering, ultra modern take on the French Twist that was inspired by Cecil Beaton’s portraits of the great fashion and society icons of the 40s and 50s.

Polished and styled close to the head, Marion’s French Twist was rolled large and emphasized volume for a contemporary edge.

Step-by-step guide to Marion’s perfect French Twist:
1) To create the beautifully sculptured French Twist, Vetica first blow-dried Marion Cotillard’s hair with a round brush using Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream to smooth, detangle strands and to prevent frizz, and created a low side part.  He then teased the hair all over with added attention to the crown and the back of the head.
2) He then brushed the teased hair and shaped it into a full, lavish French Twist, rolled and pinned it in place, then used a rat tail comb to lift the crown and emphasize the volume from the back.

3) Vetica then finished with a light spray of new Moroccanoil® Gold Glimmer Shine to give the look a luminous, natural looking and long-lasting shine.

When I found out that Beauty Match readers would be able to get some insider’s tips created by Celebrity stylist Robert Vetica created for two gorgeous and glamorous red carpet looks for celebs Salma Hayek and Kyra Sedgwick, I knew that my readers would be excited to learn more about such a master of hair!

If you notice, the hair style at these start studded events can make or break an expensive designer dress. Personally, I was scratching my head when I saw Drew Barrymore and Renee Zellwicker on the red carpet and presenting awards. One looked like a housewife from the 50s who had use way too much holding spray and the other looked like a younger Cruella De Vil (but without the two tone hair)!

If you are going to make any statements on the red carpet, you MUST get the hair right.

Here are the detail step-by-step tips that Robert used on his A-list clients:

To create Salma Hayek’s sexy and slicked-back style, Vetica started with wet hair.

“I worked Moroccanoil^TM Treatment through to detangle and smooth out split ends and then dried the hair straight using Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream to give added shine and smoothness,” he explains.

Salma Hayek wore a Boucheron $250,000 diamond hair wrap which was specially made for her, and the key was to keep the hair looking sleek.

1) Robert Vetica pulled Salma’s hair back into two ponytails, the first one from ear to crown to opposite ear and pulled it back low at the nape of the neck.

2) He pulled the remaining hair into a second ponytail, directly on top of the first, back-combing it to give extra lift and to add texture.

3) Next, he braided each section, turned them under and attached them at the nape of the neck.  The double braid gave the effect of a unique textured thickness that made the look fresh and new.

4) Then, he wrapped the diamond band around this double braid for a simple but chic effect.

Krizia’s banter: On a totally separate note, may I say that Salma Hayek must have to most amazing breast line on the face of the planet earth!

2) Kyra Sedgwick’s Golden Globes Look

Kyra Sedgwick’s (43, born August 19, 1965) look was reminiscent of Rita Hayworth, but more delicate and loosely curled. He then pulled it back to show off her face with cascading hair when she turned.  He wanted the hair down but still elegant, Hollywood and fresh.

Her red Oscar de la Renta gown with a fitted bodice and deep neckline helped Robert Vetica make the decision to sweep the hair back off the face. The result: a retro-style pin-up ‘do with a more soft and relaxed feel.

>>>> How YOU can get the look!

1) Kyra’s hair was blow-dried to a smooth finish with a touch of Moroccanoil (my hairdresser did this as well for my hair a few weeks ago and I could NOT believe how soft and shiny my hair was)

2) Treatment, directed away from the face using a strong spray gel to hold her hair up and away from her forehead.

3) The back of the hair was curled inward to create wave and volume. Vetica used a heat styling spray to protect the hair and to help give a firm hold to the swept back look.

4) Robert brushed Kyra’s hair back from the front, to keep it away from her face.

5) The final look framed her face and cascaded into waves when she turned.

6) Robert finished the style by rubbing a small amount of Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream through his hands, smoothing the hair and adding shine to finish and refine the look.

You’ll find all Moroccanoil products here: Moroccanoil Hair Care

You know that I WILL HAVE TO test this Moroccanoil because not only are these hair styles amazing, but a few weeks ago my hairdresser told me that I was insane for not have switched yet to this treatment.

She’s put ALL of her clients on the Moroccanoil diet (Caucasians, mixed beauties and beauties with Afro hair). She says it’s the BEST product she’s used in years!

Ladies, no worries, I shall test and let you know. I most likely will get either Eleni or Daphne to test as well since they have very different hair … it will be good to see if this works for them as well!
