Guys take care of your hair
Curly hair friends This is my FULL wash day routine using @Kristin Ess Hair it may seem like a lot of work but this will last me 5-7 days depending on my activities for the week 🙌🏼 I’m particularly excited to make this video because I have been using Kristin Ess products for a while & I genuinely really dig them. I have used this shampoo, conditioner & mask for a few years now. It’s my first time trying the ‘air dry cream’ tho. For all my curly haired homies out there that have wanted to give these products a try I really recommend them.. Till the next one 🤘🏼#curlyhairtutorial #kristinesspartner
