Hime on Instagram: "I blew out my hair 8 days ago, and it’s been in a dull bun ever since. Since my hair is already stretched, I opted for one product with a rich and creamy texture to avoid any product buildup. @Keracareofficial Moisturizing Curling Cream has such a thick, buttery consistency and never fails me whether applied on wet hair or blown-out hair. I can’t get enough of the my natural-looking curls with a beautiful soft bounce 🙌🏽 #naturalhair #hairstyles #keracarepartner"
