As a longstanding haircare junkie, these are the products I won't shut up about
Essential for slick backs! I've tried other ‘glue stick’ like products but I love this one as the packaging is perfect for travel and the product gives you that snatched look without being greasy.
I love this kit mainly for the mini brush. It's perfect for slick backs when you're traveling! Separately the brush is $48 so this kit is a STEAL at $39.
