Rest & relax soak time 🙏🏼 all of the essentials// flowers, candles, music, organic red wine and moisturising hair care. I've been using the new @lorealhair Ever Pure range for my hair (sulfate & paraben free) and it's never felt so silky soft 👅. I wash my hair daily (oily hair type + sweaty after the gym) so some products really dry out my ends, not to mention the 🌞 damage. Oh the new range is also vegan + non-animal tested 🙃 #everpure #ad
