The Doux Drops Bonding Polish
Tools That Bring The Heat 🔥 But Not The Damage 💇🏾♀️
I use the selection of heat styling tools every single week and I have not experienced heat damage. I attribute this to the use of heat protectant, but most importantly the hot tools I choose to use in my hair as I tend to put some form of heat on my...
Gets the shortest hairs pin straight! Great for getting those pesky roots. If I ever go to the gym and sweat my roots out, I use this tool to make sure to get them straight again. I also consistently use this to straighten out band marks if I keep a ...
