Einfach wow 🤩 diese Frau hat Locken, bisher dachte ich ehrlich, ich habe glatte, platte und schwere Haare aber dank eines Hinweises meiner neuen Friseurin und Suche nache einer CurleRoutine bei TikTok bin ich auf Bali Curls aufmerksam geworden und liebe es einfach habe ich so jetzt endlich mal die Möglichkeit mehr aus meinen Haaren zu machen

Eignung für lockiges Haar6%

Habe die Spülung ca. 1 Jahr ausprobiert, lohnt sich einfach nicht, tut nichts für mein Haar (lockig-wellig, gefärbt und blondiert), zu teuer, kein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, bessere Effekte erzielt man sogar mit günstigeren Alternativen von DM, z. B. die Hydraprodukte von Elvital. Gleiches gilt für die Spülung.
