Is your hair feeling droopy? Why letting your Yin lead is causing an imbalance that is leaving you flat.

Let’s get that Yang back in front and put the bounce back in your step! When you have the right hairstyle for your Type 1/2 Yin-Yang combo, you can quickly create a fun and playful style in under 15 mins. If it’s taking longer than that it’s time for something new.
