I experimented with several different products, and found that many of them contained harmful ingredients; once I learned that there were many other people who shared my same frustration, I decided to formulate an all-natural product line of my own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dance Mogul:<\/strong> What advice would you have for female dancers in regards to helping them manage their hair after hours of rehearsals?<br \/>\n<strong>Ashleigh Thornton:<\/strong> I actually danced ballet for 11 years, so I know the struggle!
