I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather! It's really important that you keep your hair properly moisturized during this time of the year. The only way to seal in moisture is by using an oil or butter. For a limited time this Winter, I'll be offering Sassy Curls Hair Oil with peppermint oil. I was first introduced to peppermint oil last year at our natural hair show here in Phoenix. Not only does it smell awesome but peppermint oil has tons of benefits. Sassy Curls Hair Oil can be used as a sealant, heat protectant, and hot oil treatment. With over six different oils, it's the perfect product for textured hair.  Visit www.sassysoutherncurls.com to learn more and to purchase your bottle today!
