The Natural Hair Journey

What to do, when the Locks are Damaged.

No one ever feels good about their hair not performing well. When you have a case of damaged locks, there maybe a few solutions to nurture them back to health.

After a few weeks of deep contioning your locks, you can graduate into Lock Extensions to lengthen, or fill up your locks in to creat more volume.

This client came to me with her concerns and she was preparing for her wedding, so you can imagine the pressure she was under.

We are in appreciation for solutions and alternatives.

 

Dearest Client,                                               

Thank you so much for sharing a very vulnerable moment with us, because of you I hope we can touch many others out there, and support them.

Peace to you all.

Working Your Style with Long Locks

Could you imagine.  I have manipulated her long locks to create this style.

She is wearing a Mohawk style with a sweep in the front, giving her a  very elegant look.

This style is best achieved while the hair is wet.  The best thing is that, once she drops her hair down, her hair will have curls and, she can wear the new look for a few more days.

This is another example of the 3 in 1 styling method. From one style, you can achieve 3 looks if you chose to.

Would you wear this style?

Can I Really Wear Big Hair? I Say, Why Not? How About the Nubian Afro!!!!

Some of us want to wear our natural hair out, and feel it's not possible, because the hair might be too short, or too thin.

Guess again!

I believe that today, everything is left to your imagination.

Think big, and you shall get great things.

Just look at how much volume of hair, you can get with this look.

This Nubian Fro can last up to 3 months looking good.

Dear to Wear!

What do you think?

What Can I do When I Cut the Perm Out?

There are many styles one can wear, once the texturized hair has been cut off.

The styles may vary according to the length of hair, density-meaning how much your hair you have, thick or thin hair, and ply-ability-meaning how well your hair performs while styling.

How did she achieve this look?

Her natural transitional hair choice was, the SisTwist, lasted for about 4-6 months, when the new growth was about 3 inches, she was ready for the "BIG CHOP".

She came to me very nervous that evening, about having to cut her hair..., and when all was said and done, she was so happy with her decision.

The whole time she was getting her hair cut, and Two Strand Twist Pluck Out, she was on the phone with all of her home girls checking in on how she was doing.

What great support that was, being displayed before my eyes. Then I realized they all were experiencing their own internal fears, because she was the first sista in her circle, that courageously took on the natural hair journey.

Wishing you all the best. What a glow you have, wearing your own natural hair.

Giving Up the Wig! Part 2

Her she is, wearing the Sis Twist hair and feeling like a champion.

I thought it would be a nice touch just to use the Sis Twist hair with a hint of color. It seems to really agree with her, wouldn't you say?

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Hoping that someone out there may be encouraged as well.

TSA Searches Afro at Atlanta Airport

First your bags. And your shoes. Now -- your 'fro?

A few days ago, a sista sporting a big beautiful afro at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport when TSA agents decided to check her hair for explosives -- after she says she had passed through the checkpoint and was on her way down an escalator. Isis Brantley, the Dallas-based hairstylist with the afro (pictured at left), says she was publicly humiliated.

I get that TSA wants to keep travel safe. But there's so much going on at the airport and things that could actually happen, are they even focusing on the right things? Not to mention: do not ever -- ever -- touch a sista's hair without her permission! That's like a crime, an absolute violation.

Check out the article and tell me what you think. Was TSA justified in searching this lady's afro? Did she over react or is her outrage justified? Do you think this would have happened if she was another ethnicity? Why or why not? And what if it was your hair -- how would you respond? Let me hear from you!

 

Tell Us: Did You Transition Gradually or Do 'The Big Chop'?

Essence magazine recently asked its online readers to weigh in on how they made the transition to natural hair: did they do it gradually or did they do "The Big Chop" and cut it all off at once? The responses were just as diverse as the women who took the survey.

I've written about a client who did The Big Chop in "The Bold and the Beautiful" and there are lots of other articles here about different ways to transition to natural hair.

But what I really want to know is: How did YOU do it? How long have you worn your hair natural, and how did you transition?

Tell us your "How I did it" story -- post your response in the Comments section below.

With natural love,
