i'm not posting this to brag but i just want to say that for a long time i was so bothered because i never knew what i wanted with my hair and everything i tried just went wrong but finally when my mom and sister helped me out by pushing me to get a cut and coloring my hair, i am finally SO happy with it. it's so easy to take care of, voluminous, and just so much better than i expected, considering how big a change! thought i'd share because i want other women to know that change can be scary, but just try and you never know. you may fall in love with the result!!!! have confidence!!!!
