Flow it, show it, grow it! This week Susie and Gyles look at the history and etymology of all things to do with hair. Gyles takes us down memory lane and tells us about when he used to rock a full facial set (head to our social media pages for pics!) And Susie does what she does best, by entertaining us with fascinating origin stories behind this luscious topic.
