I have noticed lately my day 2 and day 3 hair are better than they've been in months, which makes me really happy. This starts with great wash days, of course. I finally took pictures of my early week wash day, something I've been slacking a bit on. I also went back to my trichologist with an emergency and talk about that. Read on for more.
