Going on holiday seems a distant memory this year with the global pandemic, but if you own a caravan holiday home, you could be lucky enough to get away for a few days (rules permitting).

Authors like George Orwell wrote entire novels about what life would be like living in a surveillance state that watched your every move. Suffice to say, the picture he painted wasn’t pleasant and serves as a warning to us all.
It’s that time again. The days after and the days before. After the summer holidays, beaches, ice cream and long humid nights. And before school, lunch boxes, falling leaves and cooler evenings.

My hair is a big part of my life. Wild, curly, complicated and often messy, I find it represents my personality perfectly.

The ones I have been using these past three weeks do not contain any of these ingredients yet they are designed and created to give some of the best results I have ever noticed. Here’s my curl hair detox story.
