Today I refreshed my curls live on YouTube while answering all your refreshing questions about frizz, flat roots, sticky/product-y hair, refreshing products, and more. I used the new Aveda Be Curly Advanced line which I had so many requests to review so I wanted to share my honest thoughts, as always, and if I think the steep price point is worth it or not.
