Someone recently asked what the point of using toner is, and I must've been caught off guard since what tumbled out of my mouth was a string of utter nonsense. After having time to collect my thoughts, though, I realized that I'm not entirely sure what toner is supposed to do exactly.

I got a $100 Amazon gift card for Christmas, and it took me all of five minutes to spend $80 of it. Wanna see what I got?
I haven't shampooed my hair in months, and it's definitely healthier for it. Still, I can always get on board with something that will make my hair smell like something other than...hair. That's my one complaint with using only baking soda: it smells like nothing at all. Either none of my friends...

When Stevonne from Beija-Flor Naturals contacted me about trying the company's Beija-Flor Naturals Amazon Anti-Oxidant Treatment, I was intrigued.
