📖 HAO Hair Days Editorial Diary: DM's Money Saving Tips for Shopping

Remember these two keywords when you're DM shopping in Germany:

  1. “Ohne Silikone”: If you want a fresh scalp, go for this, but if your hair already looks like dead grass, go for a range with good quality oils.

  2. “Anti-Frizz”: This is the key to Asian survival in Europe. Seeing it means the bottle is high in hydration and locks in water.
