Listen to it now on iTunes. Brands mentioned: Jordan Samuel Skincare, Josh Rosebrook, May Lindstrom, H is for Love,…

Meet Mr. Smith
Until I started Fluke, I was never very adventurous with hair care. For a good 13 years I used one shampoo and conditioner duo from MooGoo. My hairstyle has been the same pretty much my whole life (aside from a few crazy years) and I don’t colour my hair. As I became more knowledgeable about…
