Hi I heard you mentioned on day 2 you worked out … my hair is sweaty after working out .. I’m trying not to wash it … what should I do so it does not cause my scalp to itch … thanks!
Thank you!! I’ll be watching more. I need to keep practicing but I got better results than what I have been doing!!
I really like that you use affordable and easy to find products! Curly hair can get expensive with how much product has to be used!
