Tuesday Transformation: Jaci

Photos by Marcus Edwards Photography

As you can see, Jaci has gorgeous, thick, natural red, curly hair.  I personally love her long hair… so does she and all her family.  However, Jaci is a new mom and needed something to fit her lifestyle change.  Here are a few key points: 

-She washes her hair every other day.

-She would ideally like to spend 15-30 minutes per day styling her hair

-She is comfortable using a blowdryer, round brush and flatiron.  

-She is not opposed to using new products to help enhance and transform hair.

-She likes to have options to create different styles.  I like to say she has a "versatile hair wardrobe."
