okay so look stupid but I think I'm onto something like a ziplock bag and I put like it looks like Marie Saint if it's okay it's so weird but like I'm lyrics of losing my hearing it I can't see well on camera but I think it's working and when I say I'm working it's working and knee and leg I'm not getting my hands full chemicals I don't see any difference yet but my hands are cold and my hair is like Silk tinted okay so I didn't feel like a lot of when I've been following the instructions keeping it under constant can't whip like the heater blower but I'm going to try and rinse my hair in a comeback is hardly any difference cuz I bleached my hair feels literally

everyone so I don't have any stuff products linked but I have ion color Brilliance hair color remover I'm going to try and get rid of some of bread I finally found a green hair dye also they the same brand I usually go for manic panic but they didn't have any reviews on this people saying it didn't work but I'm going to keep the truck so these are the instructions and 4 ounces I mean I had to like do some conversion sword and like I think it's this much in a random pop bottle I found and I rented it works or video but it works best on and trying here so escalate I don't even know I'm going to go ahead and I don't have enough clothes

hey so I did it for a second time I'm here and you're still no difference really is she like I literally had the hair dryer at the hottest setting and it burnt my hair like fried it and no difference so weak as usual we got scammed by all these employees will always try to get us two legs in the morning Ward try and tell me like one of us by visiting I'm going to need to buy balcony key tripping or go look for another brand of Color Remover I know Manic Panic works well that's what I wanted

Crystal Clarifying Treatment

okay you got so this is part 2 to the straightener the link down below it's not for the strainer but it is the same brand at first I was having mixed emotions but you know the strainer did its job which I am loving it is leaving my hair feeling really nice soft wish I was afraid about because sometimes when you do not get a good strainer you can tend to have crunchy hair this did not do that all in all I am going to give it some time to give you a full review on it because of this is just my person I'm going to find something for my baby get on my nerves but other than that it is pretty strange I do like it

hello you guys like crazy here trying on this and one stroke hair straighteners if you my first time trying it it is touchscreen I'm going to do this out of my hair and then I'm going to leave the other side of my hair without doing it with the strainer to see how it works I am going to be carrying it with this heat protecting spray my most favorite heat protecting spray it doesn't only smell good but it protects your hair from getting damaged it's from btz and it's called turn up the heat I love this stuffso far this is the difference between I'm telling you my Harris is very nice and thick so it does its job at first I was having mixed emotions because it says one strong but it does take a couple of pass for

hey guys I wanted to do a quick update on the hair straightener usually when my hair gets rained on my hair goes like I do my hair get super poofy after whenever I straighten it and make it rained on so the straightener did really well so I'm going to give this ion straightener a 10 out of 10 I know it's my first day using it but if it went through rain in my hair did not get super poofythat means it works and I was like 2:00 in the morning and like we're getting Jack in the Box
