France has decided to try and take a stand. They have proposed a bill that will prosecute media who promote “extreme thinness”. Somehow I think this might be hard to prosecute.

For all of us “curlies” out there, it is crucial to use quality products to give our curls the best look. Sometimes as the day goes on, our curls become lifeless and limp. I’ve just started using Frizz-Ease’s “Dream Curls” of the John Freida collection. It is superb!

It gives your curls that necessary and desired lift. It really brings them back to life. The scent is great too: very light. You won’t have to worry about people thinking you dunked your head in perfume.
