  • Loved Moselys episode.

    He always inspires me! So happy you featured him again.

    I have to say. I always find that the hair overseas is unimpressive. However. I recently went to Spain and I found that there was a lot of gorgeous styles. Both color and cut. Less balayage. More reds and platinums. Cute bobs and pixies.

    Just had to let you know.
