Hiya Jay; Emma; Michael; and Monica. Back at the Beginning of September, 2014, My Hair, was a Grade 2, Allover. I have let it grow ever since. It Is Now Halfway down My shoulder-blades; and still growing. I have Not been into a Female-Hair-Salon, as a Customer. I wash My Hair with Head And Shoulders 2-in-1; Shampoo and Conditioner; and apart from Brushing and Combing right through a couple of times a day, and drying it with a Hair-Dryer, nothing else really gets done with it, apart from putting it into a Pony-Tail ! One day I'll use a salon, but, I don't know when that will be. Take Care My Friend's, Big Hugs, And My Very Best Wishes, Love Stephanie. xxxxxxxx
