Hi, I’m Clara! Until recently, I had a mound of dehydrated, tangled fluff as an excuse for hair. People had fallen into the pattern of affectionately – or not so affectionately! – calling it “Fro Fro the Clown”. It was a mess of volume, loose curls, and split ends. For years, I tried all the rejuvenating, hydrating, and de-frizzing products I could get my hands on. I would chop my hair off strategically, obsessively; as if one less inch would give me the sleek locks I wanted. But you know what happens to curly hairs when it gets shorter? It gets frizzier! I was fighting a losing battle…
Until I met my new essential, my knight in a shiny red wrapper: Desert Essence’s Red Raspberry Shampoo and Conditioner. From one day to the next my hair lost the “I-just-electrocuted-myself-with-high-voltage” look and all of a sudden it was smooth, and shiny! Now, I might not have to tease, pull, and tweak my hair into soft waves, but I also know that it’s all thanks to my 100% Vegan shampoo. So now when you meet me, you meet Clara – not “Fro Fro the Clown” towering up above.
