Hair extension expert Mckenzie Turley has just launched a new luxury hair care brand called Goldie Locks. Goldie Locks products focus on moisture, which helps retain hair length by creating more elastic hair that is less prone to breakage or tangles. All products are free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, so they are safe for color-treated, keratin-treated, chemically-processed, and extension filled hair.
