Live Your Hair's Best Life

Most hair care commercials aren’t real at all. They’re full of hair extensions, models, and a bunch of trick camera shots. So, we decided to interview 20 women about their real relationship with their hair. Then, we took the most humorous, most honest stories and re-enacted them to prove to women that their hair-care struggle is real, and this isn’t your mother’s typical hair care.
