But not for good… in today’s post I’m actually wearing Ouidad’s new Pink Curl Extension, launched this month to benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® through its Curls for a Cure®program, dedicated to supporting the organization in its fight to find a cure.

Taking the mission even further, if you wear your Pink Curl Extension and post a selfie using #CurlsforACure, Ouidad will donate $1 to BCRF.
