    Wrapping Hair: How I Mastered the Doobie

    Wrapping hair, do not care. Check out my Achieve Select TV Actresses’ Hair with Motions post. Wrapping Hair: Background Wrapping hair is a foreign concept to me. Normally, right before bed, I’d stuff my hair into one of the satin hair bonnets I’ve bought from my local beauty supply store.

To help my combat my acne scarring and hyperpigmentation, my mom, (also a devout Ambi user) recommended that I try the Ambi Fade Cream, which boasts Vitamin E, Alpha Hydroxy Acid and sunscreen among its ingredients. I bet you any kind of money that if I were as consistent with my skin care as I am with writing and editing this blog, all of my dark spots would be faded nearly to nothing. The Ambi Fade Cream works; several small and medium spots have vanished right before my eyes. I am grateful…
