Now i'm talking about the gently like something about it really speaks self-care to me honestly. Whenever i go and get my hair done when i budget for it, i consider it self-care, because it is i'm taking care of my hair. Someone else pampering me: i'm not really a nails person or an eyelash and all those different stuff person. So for me it's when i go and get my hair done. I can just enjoy the experience and with this head spot i am able to do that. I think i've fallen asleep a couple of times while getting my hair done. So that's how good it is, but you're going to be a part of this journey with me. I'M really excited to try out this new treatment. I'Ve never had it done before. I'Ve done one or two um.
