It’s like an unboxing of things I actually tried & loved… but in pics. My washday twist-out results are in, and drumroll please 🥁: IT ATE! See the previous post for part one. I love the way my hair turned out, and I love how my scalp has maintained moisture throughout this washday cycle. This is very important to me as someone with dry scalp.
