Coconut Oil Bath Bombs

The Benefits of Brushing Hair
Guess what? I didn’t brush my hair for, er, about 25 years. Yes, you read that right. 25 years without one single hair brush touching my locks. Heck, I didn’t even own a hairbrush during that time.

I did use this wide-toothed comb after I showered but that was as much action as my hair saw. In my quest for better ... continue reading...
