Three words Rebecca

Aldi Wrinkle Stop

It's like youth in a tube.

I dread to think what's in it.

Looks lovely with the salon freshness...the real test of a perm is what it looks like after a night rolling round on a pillow!

HoneyDragon · 24/01/2014 12:38

It is a bit Charlene from neighbours, but not in a bad way, but I've never had actual volume in my hair. It's awesome.

Now it's drying the curls are getting more defined.
