DIY Bath Paint

Bath Time Fun
The quickest way to end bath time fun? Run a comb through wet, tangled knots. Avoid the unnecessary drama (and shrieks of pain) by using a hair product like Aussie's Bloomin' Apple Detangler. It not only works out the tricky knots painlessly, it smells good too. Now the only protests you'll hear will be about getting out of the tub.
Colored Shaving Cream
