So I was reading an interesting web page yesterday about the history of hair styles going back to ancient history up to the present because I wanted to know more information about what was going on around the baroque time when all these people had amazing, long, curly hair.

The process of caring for my hair has changed a lot over past months. I’ve shifted to a much more natural approach with the primary emphasis upon keeping my hair well-conditioned but without heavy products which weigh down the hair.
