Our

goop necessary to prep winter-ravaged locks for next season. Series 1
shampoo and conditioner are all about restoring moisture and enhancing
shine, and they’re paraben-free. Umi Base, a spray with lemongrass,

line of frillsfree, ultra-effective goods? Umi Fix — a non-aerosol
hairspray with pro-vitamin B5 for shine and heat protection. If we
