My understanding so far

I'm new at this, but I've been reading, researching, and collecting data like crazy. I want to know if my understanding (gained mostly from reading the advice and opinions of the people here) is right. It's kind of in expository essay form, sorry. I've been writing too many school papers lately and can't help it ( Read more... )

While damp, I put in a little coconut oil. On Sunday morning, it was looking very dry, so I put in some Argan oil, which made my hair very greasy. (now ( Read more... )
