Jasmine Hair Honey
Last week, I chopped most of my hair off!! That's right, just lopped it off! And I'm not finished yet! I could not convince my stylist to cut as much as I wanted, so she told me that if after living with the new length for a few days I still wanted it shorter, she would finish it off for free! So, tomorrow, I'm going to get rid of the rest of it! Yay! Nearly 5 months after the birth of my daughter, I decided those long tresses that took so long to wash and comb through were cramping my style so they had to go! Now I can do my hair in a snap ... condition 'n wash 'n go! And Jasmine Hair Honey is the perfect conditioner for me!

Now don't go and panic on me because jasmine absolute is pricey. Yes! It is expensive but you're worth it! Plus, you only need a drop for nearly any application so it's not like you'll use it all at one time. A small bottle of jasmine absolute, even just 5 ml, will last a long time because you need so very little in any particular product.
