I wanted to share a bit about one specific product – grapeseed oil – because, before my introduction to Wildtree I had never heard of […]
Hair Diaries is a sneak peek into how I keep my mane tame. Jemma usually allows me 3.2 minutes to style my hair so everything is easy or out. Keep in mind that I have super thick, naturally wavy (also know as crazy) hair. It freaks out if I wash it everyday so styles are […]
