Hair Secrets: Backstage with The Vampire Diaries

Hair styling tips from The Vampire Diaries TV Show - Candice Accola as Caroline

Every Thursday night, I eagerly await the start of a new Vampire Diaries episode (8pm ET on The CW). The cast has good eye candy (woo hoo!) and the story lines are even better than it’s book series namesake (in my opinion, anyhow). While watching, I couldn’t help wondering how they kept all the gals’ [...]

Overall he said it was a good product (he’s a daily [...]
