How To Get 1000 Subscribers on Youtube Fast

December 22, 2020 lifestyle

YouTube now has new guidelines for monetizing your new channels. In order for you to generate AdSense income on YouTube, you now have to have 1000 subscribers and over 3000 watch hours on your videos. This may seem daunting when first starting out. However, this is an attainable goal. I’m going to tell you EXACTLY what you should be focusing on to reach your first 1000 subscribers on YouTube fast. 

What Type Content To Create

The key to achieving your first thousand subscribers on YouTube fast will depend on the type of content you create. For instance, if you are a beauty influencer like myself and you specialize in a particular niche it may be easier for you to create content for that subject but harder to stand out. Different categories of content grow at different speeds. No matter what category your content will falls into the number one thing you need to remember is when starting a YouTube channel make sure your content is Evergreen.

I talked a great deal about Evergreen in my previous post. This is the key to growing your channel fast. Your content must be valuable information and help to solve a problem. This is crucial for growing fast on YouTube.  Content is King on YouTube. It doesn’t matter how pretty you are, it doesn’t matter how large your following is on other social media platforms (there will be exceptions) if your content is not useful to the viewer you will not grow. With anything, there are exceptions to the rule. You will find creators who jump onto the platform and experience great successes right out of the gate however I want you to be realistic in your goals. Do not expect to be an overnight success. 

Niche Down Then Branch Out

  Another great rule of thumb for creating content on YouTube is to be very specific. What I mean by this is to focus on one particular subject and create as much valuable content around that subject. This is another way of saying stick to a particular niche and focus on that. The more valuable content you can give your viewers about a subject matter the faster you will be able to grow an audience and build your brand. I have seen time and time again people who create YouTube videos and they are talking about everything under the sun. This is not necessarily a bad thing however it will be harder for you to gain a solid audience because they don’t know what value you can give them. It will also take you longer to reach that first 1000.

I too in my YouTube career have uploaded videos in many different niches. This was because I wanted to share information that I had learned over the years to help people in different aspects of their lives. If I could do it all over again I would concentrate on building my audience for one subject then branching out. 

Tip: Focus on providing value to your viewer and highlighting your personality.

Personality Wins

 Over the years I have seen creators come and go. These are people who are very talented but lack personality. When creating video content no matter how helpful your content is if you lack personality the delivery will just come across as stale. No one wants to watch a video where the person is speaking monotone, lacks enthusiasm, and seems bored while making the video. Personality is everything in video content creation.

 This is one of the reasons while vlogging has become so popular. Weekly and daily Vlogs are able to highlight the person’s life, take you behind the scenes, as well as show the creator and their personality. You feel like you are a part of their day-to-day lives and you are able to get to know them on a personal level. These types of channels are also a great way to build your first 1000 subscribers on YouTube fast because you are able to create more content at a faster rate. The videos are also longer than the traditional 10-15 minutes so you can reach the 3000 hours of watch time fast as well. If you are creating vlogs each and every day and the Vlog is over 30 minutes long you will be there in no time.

 Remember you need 3000 hours of watch time on your channel. Vlogs are the best way to create content that gets you to this goal. Getting subscribers is another thing. Personality will make them fall in love with your channel. They will subscribe and want to keep up with you and whatever it is you have going on. 

Equipment

A word of advice. Do not fall for the trap. You do not need to go out and purchase hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of YouTube equipment that you cannot even use. Let me explain, what is the point in spending money that you have not earned yet with the hopes of you receiving a return on your investment?  To be honest you don’t even know if you like creating content yet.

So it would be in my opinion foolish of you to purchase equipment that you may not utilize properly in the beginning. With any business, you will learn to scale up as your business grows. You read previously about a return on investment. I am not saying that you shouldn’t purchase equipment to create quality content what I am saying is you should do it when you are guaranteed that you will receive a return on the money you have invested.

I do have a list of all of the things I use to film my videos on YouTube. Here is a link to my Amazon Store so you can read up on everything I use and compare prices. Don’t feel obligated to purchase anything until your ready.

Use What You Got To Get What You Want

 A great way to do this is to find ways to utilize the resources you already have at your disposal. These are things like:

  1. Free editing software that comes standard on your computer. 

2. Your are smart phone. 

3. The built-in microphone on your smartphone. 

4. Free editing apps.

 5. Natural sunlight. 

 You have already paid for that smartphone so be smart about using it to its fullest potential. And I forgot to mention you can also edit on your phone as well. There is no excuse. These are all of the things people take for granted because YouTube has become big business.  I tell my story all the time. When I started my YouTube channel I had a handheld camcorder sitting on a box of tissues in my bathroom. Humble beginnings. Once I was able to create revenue from YouTube that’s when I was able to invest in the fancy stuff.

Free Game

Let me give you some free game. I have a no-nonsense type of attitude when it comes to YouTube and creating money on the platform. I do not get involved with you in politics and I don’t try to be anything other than who I am.

 The number one thing I will tell you about YouTube is that you need to be your authentic self. Do not get on YouTube trying to emulate your favorite blogger. Or trying to steal ideas and content from other creators. Not only is this a big No-No but you will not be able to build a solid fan base. The way that you build your first 1000 subscribers fast on YouTube is by being authentic. 

 I have found that my greatest successes on YouTube have come from me being transparent and authentic. People want to feel like they can relate to you. No matter what your Niche is on YouTube, if the viewer can see themselves in you in some shape or fashion they will be drawn to your content. Being YOU, add VALUE, and being CONSISTENT will get you there. 

But also creating the content. Stop writing out an endless list of ideas or overthinking if the idea will work. Turn the camera on and create the magic. Again, my biggest successes on the platform have been videos I did not plan and just pressed record. 

YouTube is not a get-rich-quick scheme it is going to take some work. You are going to have to learn to be a content creating machine to get to that first 1000 subscribers on YouTube. But if your videos are quality and add value trust me it will happen fast.

Number One Tip To Becoming Successful On Youtube

December 21, 2020 lifestyle

My little cousin called me from Ohio to ask me a question. She knows that I have had great success on YouTube and wanted to pick my brain. She is thinking about starting a YouTube channel for her son and wanted to get some tips on how to be successful on that platform. Since I have been on YouTube for almost 10 years I have quite  A bit of information to share and I thought this would be a great place to do so. I wanted to give you my number one tip for being successful on YouTube.

The number one tip to becoming successful on the YouTube platform is to create Evergreen content. This is content that is informative, valuable, and never expires. Evergreen content will remain searchable after it is created and will help the viewer long-term.

Why Start A YouTube Channel

 I know that this is a very popular subject because YouTube is such a large platform. Each day hundreds of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed individuals charge to the platform. With smiles and visions of grandeur in hopes of making it rich. I mean hey, there are 10-year-olds who are making almost $1,000,000 on the platform so I totally understand the appeal. However, what I do want to share with you is going to be information that is valuable to you so that you don’t feel this is a get-rich-quick type of career. I understand we all work hard you want to share our gifts with the world.

Number tip to being successful on Youtube

But there is a strategy to being successful on YouTube and if I would have known this 10 years ago I would be much farther along in my YouTube Journey.

 When I started YouTube over 10 years ago we were all on the platform just for fun. Other creatives like myself such as makeup artist hairdressers, even playwrights flocked to the platform as a way to express themselves creatively. I remember uploading a video without any fancy editing and little to no music or captions or any of the fun stuff you see in videos today. I sound like such an old lady right now but it’s the truth. We were so focused on sharing our creative sides we didn’t get hung up on marketing, video descriptions, or any of the things that you now have to think about when utilizing the platform. Honey, YouTube is a job now.

 For instance, my first video was me curling my hair 9 months pregnant with my daughter Here. I didn’t have a fancy camera or a tripod. I set my camera on a box of tissues in the bathroom and created my first video. Talk about humble beginnings this is going to lead me to my first few tips for joining YouTube.

Tips For Success On YouTube

  • Start with what you have. don’t invest hundreds or thousands of dollars on fancy equipment that you can’t even use. you can be successful on YouTube with a smartphone and a plan.
  •  Do not try to mimic other channels that are on the platform. Be your authentic self and this will help you grow your brands in the long run. Your views will be able to see right through the nonsense. BE YOU.
  •  Create a schedule for when you upload and stick to it. We all know that being consistent with any new business pursuit is vital to its success. YouTube is no different. Your subscribers will get familiar with your upload schedule and will show up for you to watch your content.

What I Wish I Knew 10 Years Ago.

 Now I want to talk about the number one tip I wish I knew as a content creator. Again, I have been on YouTube for almost 10 years. In this time I never took YouTube seriously as a career. I always did it as another creative outlet. As many of you know I own my own hair salon and it creating video content took a back seat for quite some time. During my years on Youtube, I have had quite a few videos go viral as well as reach over 1 million views. You can view those videos below.

  1. Watch Me Crochet Braid My Hair|ChimereNicole
  2. Crochet Braids |Braid Pattern| New INSTALL METHOD|ChimereNicole
  3. How I SILK PRESS my NATURAL HAIR – ChimereNicole

This is a course without any strategic plan or without me giving any thought to the subject matter. I just created content I loved and what my viewers like to watch. This wasn’t the best business strategy for me in the long run. Although my viewers loved the content. This was quick success with no long-term benefits. I want you to think about this.

Think about your favorite video game or even your favorite song in middle school. Now, your a video creator and want to make a video talking about your favorite song. Mine in middle school happens to be the Thong Song by Sisqo lol. Please don’t judge me, we were kids and we didn’t know what a thong was. The song was catchy lol. You create an amazing video talking about your favorite song and you get 100,000 views. Awesome right? Here’s the issue, in 6 months no one will be searching or even talking about that song and you will not benefit from having content no one is watching anymore. We want content people can search for and enjoy FOREVER.

EVERGREEN Is Best

This leads me to my number one tip. Focus on Evergreen content. What that means is content that will be searchable in 2,5, even 10 years. The way to create residual income on YouTube is to have content that does not become trendy or outdated. Evergreen content always stays current. It’s informative and will help the viewer solve a problem.

 Think of the things you search in Google. Things such as:

  • What do I need to start a YouTube channel?
  •  How can I color your hair blonde?
  •  Best curry chicken recipes.

 These are examples of Evergreen content. No matter what year it is someone somewhere is going to be searching how to do these things. If you are an expert in a particular niche this is great for you because you can now create the content that you love and also had it be valuable for years to come. Master this and watch your channel take off.

Learning From My Mistakes

 Because I specialize in hair and hair care, all of the videos that I created over the years were not Evergreen. I focused on teaching creative hairstyles that are trendy and were popular during those time periods. The mistake that I made is now that no one is searching for those types of hairstyles my content is not relevant anymore. See, been there done that.

It was a huge mistake. Don’t get me wrong I love all of the content that I created because it is an extension of talents and I take pride in my work. However, I wish I was more strategic in creating content as well as being more consistent. I just thought of ideas and turned my camera on. No plan, just winging it. I was able to get my silver play button from Youtube doing this so It wasn’t all that bad right? You live and you learn. Here is a mini clip of me opening my award from YouTube.

Moving Forward

So moving forward on my personal YouTube journey I plan on creating content that is targeted to my audience but also content that will be valuable to them in the future. Another personal goal of mine is to become more consistent on the platform. I’ve never considered myself as a YouTuber however I have quite a large following on the platform and I want to be able to grow my audience there as well. If you haven’t by now, subscribe to my channel. I will be taking my own advice and being more consistent on my channel, new videos each Monday.

Why Do Women Love Beards

December 18, 2020 beauty

There is such a fascination with women as to why women love beards so much. Every time I and my girlfriends get together the conversation more than likely involves wine and talking about the latest love interest. Then the conversation leads to someone asking the following question “Does he have a beard”? It never fails. Women just can’t get enough of men with beards. 

Women prefer beards because they are genetic proof of masculinity. Beards are associated with power, wisdom, and commitment. These are characteristics women look for in a potential partner and qualities of a protector. 

Why Women Love Beards So Much

The short answer is, they are hot. I mean a man with a beard can be downright sexy. Is it hot in here or is it just me? This is not to say a smooth clean look isn’t appealing. It just so happens that men with full, thick, flourishing beards are just on display everywhere. 

I mean as soon as you log onto my Instagram, the explore page will have at least one bearded gent in some advertising campaign. Even selling fluffy socks, women can’t seem to get enough. It doesn’t help that they always have their shirts off. Instagram definitely has the right idea. They know exactly what women want and will use a sexy bearded man to sell it to us. 

They say sex sells, well so do bearded men.

Women love beards because they are a sign of masculinity. It represents strength and power. It’s a dark brooding presence about a bearded that can’t allow you to look away. Have you noticed that men with beard stand taller with their shoulders back? It reminds me of Batman for some strange reason. Beards exude confidence and strength. That is what women are attracted to. Confidence is key here. Growing a beard takes a level of confidence that not all men are willing to embrace. The commitment to upkeep is also very sexy.

Beards require a level of commitment. Commitment to the growing phase and commitment to daily maintenance. This is also very sexy to women. A man who makes time for self-care and the level of commitment it requires to maintain a beard will also draw cool points with the ladies. Women love a man who manscapes. I know I appreciate it.

 Lastly, women love beards because they are correlated to a man who possesses great wisdom. A man who is mature and dignified. Even the pharaohs knew the power of a great beard. I’m a bit of a history buff so bare with me for a bit. In ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs often wore fake beards to portray divine wisdom and kingship. Even in death, the pharaohs made sure to take their beards with them into the afterlife. Talk about commitment. The longer the beard the better. The same applies today. Have you ever seen a man of a mature age stroke his beard while in deep thought? I have and it can be extremely appealing. Now add a little salt and pepper to his beard and I’m calling him Bruce Wayne. A salt and pepper beard is another blog post in itself, whew!

Reasons She My Be Apprehensive

If you don’t have a beard or maybe be on the fence about growing one. Or maybe your significant other is not too keen on the idea, here are a few reasons why beards aren’t for all women. You make think her reasoning is trivial but a beard is an important decision. 

Women don’t like change.

If she met you with little to no facial hair it’s gonna be a hard sell to get her to change her mind. I mean facial hair on a man changes the face completely. You want her to be attracted to the new look. Then you have to take into consideration how this new look will affect those around you. And she may not be too happy about all the newfound attention you’re going to get. From women on the job to the ladies in the local coffee shop. Nothing shakes up a relationship like sudden unwanted changes.

She wants to see your facial features.

One of the many reasons your significant other may be apprehensive about you growing out your facial hair is because it hides your features. If you have a prominent jawline or chin these are features that your loved one fell in love with. Even that mark on your chin from falling in the third grade. These are the things women fall in love with. By growing out your facial hair these features aren’t as prominent and maybe the reason she doesn’t I want you to grow that beard. Women also love the look and feel of smooth skin on a man.  

No excessive hair 

 A lot of women do not like the feel of excessive facial hair. Mustache sure, goatee umm ok. But a full beard maybe not. Especially if she has sensitive skin herself. Facial hair can irritate her skin and cause more problems than they’re worth. While hugging or kissing, the last thing you want is for her to be uncomfortable. Some women just don’t like hairy men so the thought of a hair face is a big turn-off.

She wants to look younger not older

As I mentioned previously facial hair on men shows signs of maturity. With women, we are often trying to slow the signs of aging. Having a partner who looks mature often translates to a woman aging as well. I know this is can be viewed as a really selfish reason but it’s the truth. Additionally, she may not want her spouse to look too mature. There is nothing worse than going out to eat and the waiter thinks you’re with your father. Talk about embarrassing. 

No dessert island beards

 In instances where the beard does not fully grow there will be patches of hair on the face. You will see a lot on social media about what we call “The Struggle” beard. This is when men who are trying to growing a goatee don’t have enough facial hair to properly connect for a full beard. One of my personal pet peeves I might add like many other women. Its like the little engine that could but just couldn’t quite make it lol. We do not like the appearance of a patchy beard. It never appears neat and well-groomed and always looks dry. So a word of advice if you do not believe your beard will grow consistently over the face you, may want to revisit the idea once you have a plan of action in place to grow a healthy beard.  

How to Keep That Beard Healthy

If you decide that growing a beard is for you there are a few steps you should take to ensure you can maintain your beard. These will include the following:

  1. Keep it sanitary and soft. A clean and neat beard is the highest priority.
  2. Steam your face. This helps to open the pores to allow beard products to better penetrate the hair and skin. This also prevents ingrown hairs.
  3. Remove product build-up. Apply a detoxing facial wash to help remove excessive products and promote shine and luster.
  4. Keep it tidy. Biweekly trims and shape-ups help to keep your beard healthy. 
  5. Moisturize. Facial hair tends to be dry due to excessive washing and sun exposure. Daily moisturizing will help keep the hair soft and frizz free. Remember, hair is hair. Whether it’s on the head or on the face. 
  6. Drink your water. You want a healthy beard, drink up.

Beard Products That Actually Work

Finding quality products that work for all skin types may seem challenging. Don’t worry, I’ve given you a head start with these top-selling beard kits. These kits have been tested and are proven to hydrate and moisturize facial hair and skin. Here are my top three beard grooming kits and products. Now that you know why women love beards let’s get you on your way to achieving the look for less. These products are sure to help you grow and maintain the beard you love so much.

The Best Blower Dryer Brush That Actually Works

December 17, 2020 beauty

I like to make things easier for myself when I travel. Bringing along all my styling tools and attachment tends to be a bit much at times so I went on the hunt for a blow dryer that travels well and gets the job done. Let me tell you why the Revlon One-Step Paddle is the best blow dryer brush on the market. 

The Revlon One-Step Paddle Brush is the best blow dryer brush on the market. This is because it saves you time, is temperature-controlled, and easy to use. This blow dryer brush is lighter than most hair dryer brushes available and is able to blow all hair textures.

How To Use The Revlon Blow Dryer Brush

If you are looking to stretch your hair while blowing. Or have never used a paddle brush to blowdry I would recommend that you do the following. Start by sectioning clean hair. I have a complete list of my most recommended shampoos and deep conditioners for all hair types listed here. I recommend sectioning the hair into four sections. Apply your favorite heat protectant to the hair. Then start from the back take a small subsection. Apply the paddle brush on the ends of the hair and work your way up towards the roots. If you have straight or fine hair you will have the ability to start from Roots and work your way down. However, starting from the ends of the hair will help to eliminate tangles and also help prevent hair breakage. 

If you are looking to create volume using this paddle brush I recommend to blow dry your hair in the opposite direction in which you want to wear it.

So if that means you would like to wear your hair with a part on the right section your hair to the left and then flip it over once the hair is dry. This will create volume and also help straighten the hair at the roots. 

 Another way to create volume using this paddle brush would be to flip your hair upside down and brush your hair downward. Since your head is facing down all of your hair is being blow-dried at a 90-degree angle. This will create volume once you flip your head back up and is also a great way to blow dry your hair fast.

The Revlon Roll Brush Is Also Great.

If you are looking to create volume and blow-dry your hair at the same time. The Revlon Round Roll Brush blow dryer is also a great option. It’s a one-stop-shop when blow-drying your hair because you do not need a roll brush and blow dryer, it’s all in one.  The reason I believe the paddle brush is best is that it can be used on all hair textures. Although the roller brush is also a great option. Textured and curly hair will have a hard time using that brush. It can also be a bit cumbersome if you are not used to using a roller brush on your hair. Besides that, it still has all the great and had the same great features that the paddle brush has to offer it just comes in a simpler design. 

What Products Work Best

When using any heated styling tool I highly recommend that you use a heat protectant. Heat protectants are made up of humectants to lock in moisture and eliminate frizz; natural hair oils help to protect seal the hair cuticle.

Heat protectants come in many forms. You can use cream, lotion, sprays, serums, and oils. It is hard to recommend a heat protectant without seeing and feeling your hair texture however what I can say is no matter which form of heat protection you decide to use make sure that you thoroughly saturate each strand of your hair. The key to using heat protectants is to be consistent in their usage and to make sure that they are applied properly. In my experience spray heat protectant works best with all hair textures. They tend to be lighter and do not weigh the hair down as much as serums, creams, and lotions.

Does It Work On Curly & Natural Hair

For curly and natural hair I recommend that you detangle and section your hair off prior to using this blow dryer brush. Curly and natural hair tends to tangle more frequently and detangling prior to use makes using this brush a lot faster. In addition, I  highly recommend you use a heat protectant also when using this brush. I have a full list of my favorite heat protectants listed below if you are unsure which brand you should try. 

Curly and naturally textured hair tends to be dryer than most textures so applying a leave condition is also recommend. 

My Final Thoughts

I highly recommend this blow dryer brush for all hair textures. I think this blow dryer brush works best on textured hair because it allows the hair to stretch while your blow-drying. It makes it easier to work in small sections. You are able to still achieve volume while blow-drying. The hair and the temperature controls allow you to cool and seal the hair while blow-drying. My recommendation for fine and straighter textures would probably be the roller Brush. I feel as though that will give you a little more volume and you won’t have to use a curling iron once you finish blow-drying your hair. 

Revlon products work really well in conjunction with your heat protectant and leave-in conditioners. I will list my favorite products below that work in conjunction with the blow dryer brush of your choice. As well as my favorite styling tools to create the perfect hairstyle.  If you would like to get more information on my favorite shampoos for natural hair I will list those below. I also have a post where I talk about my favorite deep conditioning products. This includes a deep conditioner and hair mask to repair and hydrate the hair.

20 Secrets: Things Your Hairdresser Wants You To Know

December 16, 2020 beauty

As I’m finishing up my last client of the day she says something to me that made me think. She says “We tell you everything about our lives and yet I’m sure there are things you want to tell us about yours”. I laughed it off because sure, my clients tell me everything. The good, the bad, and the ugly. But sometimes there are things we want to tell our clients that we keep to ourselves. It’s not about the kids or what we did that Saturday night. It relates more towards things we want to tell them about their salon visits. This is about to go left really quickly, I can feel it lol. But the bible says, “The truth shall set you free”. Today it shall as I share 20 things your hairdresser wants you to know.

I stand in solidarity with my fellow salon workers to tell you some hard truths. I know I’m being melodramatic here but I speak for many when I say we are thinking it and don’t say it. Sometimes we say it and it goes in one ear and out the other or it’s taken the wrong way. The purpose of today’s post is not to make you feel bad or indifferent. It’s to educate you and to make your salon visits as pleasant as humanly possible. The things your hairdresser wants you to know can be very subjective and can vary from stylist to stylist. I’ll just say this, I have a great relationship with the patrons of my business and an open communication policy. This is not always the case.

20 things your hairdresser wants you to know

So I want to list a few things your hairdresser wants you to know with the hopes it creates an open dialogue. Again this list is very subjective and it is based on years of salon experience. These are also things I and fellow stylists have discussed. I will try to keep this list as general as I can. Take my word for it, I cut this list down quite a bit. 

20  Things Your Hairdresser Wants You To Know

  1. The client is not always right.
  2. Pictures are for reference, not a duplication.
  3. Do not show up late and empty-handed lol, we love coffee also. 
  4. Please respect our time. The doctors charge for no shows, so can we.
  5. Please don’t tell us how to do our jobs, if you knew what you were doing you wouldn’t pay us. 
  6. Just because the information is on YouTube this does not make it right. Have you ever seen the videos of people burning or over bleaching their hair?
  7. Please don’t talk on the phone while getting your services done. This is a time to relax and decompress for everyone around you. Be courteous.
  8. We aren’t upset, we are HUNGRY. We often don’t eat. Think about this next time you’re running late.
  9. We have lives and don’t work around your schedule.
  10. Gratitude goes a long way, 
  11. Sit still, if you want your haircut straight stop moving.
  12. Your hair appointment is for you, come alone.
  13. Sometimes your relationship drama is too much.
  14. A trim and a hair cut is the same price.
  15. Clean up after yourself, we aren’t maids
  16. No, I can’t squeeze you in.
  17. We appreciate tips more than you know. 
  18. Ask us how we’re doing, were human too
  19. We are creatives and sensitive about our work. 
  20. Trust our judgment. We are trying to bring out the best in you. 

As I mentioned earlier, this list can go on and on. 

Bonus Tip

Learn to hear the words No. If your hairdresser truly cares about you and that’s pride in their work they will tell you NO. I’m laughing while writing this because my clients are well aware, I will tell them no and smile while doing it. It took me years to work up the courage to do so and now it feels liberating to say no and mean it. You want highlights but don’t take care of your hair, NO. You’re requesting a relaxer after scratching your scalp, NOPE. You bleached your hair the day before and want it redone today, KEEP DREAMING. And the most famous, you’re going through a breakup and want to cut your hair and dye it to mimic Skittles. Maam, that’s also a no.

Let me reiterate, we are not trying to be mean or disrespectful. We are trying to do what’s best for you and if a no means saving your hair strands then so be it. 

No I know this was a lot of hard truths shared here today and you might have said ouch a few times. It’s ok. The more you know, the more you grow. In the event, you like to maintain your hair at home like many of my clients do, be sure to read up on some of my favorite shampoos HERE. I also shared my favorite styling tools HERE.
