Bleach is a blast, like being at a beach party every day, even when the weather sucks.  It facilitates a 24/7 personal spotlight shining down on your head to light up your face and give you an otherworldly glow, without the sun damage.  Your skin looks younger and tanned, your clothes look more interesting, it instantly…

Summer is upon us once again – definitely the most glorious time of the year!  The sun-kissed skin, the toned bodies finally unleashed after months in the gym, the moist air, rife with photosynthesized oxygen and hair that is wavy and wild.  For vacations, we all know that how your hair looks is the most…
