It’s almost Week 8, so hopefully you are beginning to get some excitement about the warm sunny days to come without worries about completing papers last minute or trying to attend all your club meetings. Here at HCDU, we are starting to prepare for summer with some awesome products we received in our #HCSurvivalKit for summer! They are great products that you won’t want to forget buying when preparing for this summer!

Our contributor Elizabeth says that this product “Definitely defines your waves, and I would say it’s a good product to use for a long day at the pool. However, for daily application, it makes your hair slightly crunchier than it was, so that’s the downside.”
