Alopecia can blindside anyone. If you get braids, please assert yourself and have them loosened if you feel pain or it causes a headache. That is your body giving you a message. And also be careful of the weight of the braids. If your hair is an inch long, it’s not going to be able to support butt length braids.

What is your face doing when you try to "get through" your hair? A scrunched face means whatever you are doing, you need to chill. Don't be so rough. Relax your face and your touch will follow. The result? Less breakage.

Hair is hair. The building blocks of human hair are the same, no matter what size coils are growing out of your crown. And these building blocks need the same things to be healthy--the right moisture/protein balance, gentle handling, and loving patience. So let's stop typecasting ourselves and others with numbers and letters. Your hair will tell you what it needs, and I can help you decipher your hair's language.

Here is a coily hair PSA: Getting back to fundamentals is how you make it softer. It's how you retain length. It's how you make it more manageable. It's how you let it express itself.

I was out on a run and this tree caught my eye. It adapted to growing so close to another tree, by coiling around it so it could keep growing. We can think of living with our naturally textured hair the same way. This is part of ourselves that we can learn to love and live with, by letting it exist amidst self-defining obstacles like doubt and insecurity. Life really does imitate nature.

This is what makes me sick. Black women shaming one of our own for their hair choices. I think this is a reflection of the accuser’s insecurities about themselves. Can we please move away from this diatribe of hair hate in 2023? Besides, is the GOAT of gymnastics and is a super hero that all young girls can look up to.

You can air dry your wash & go...I don't always have time to sit under the dryer and I'm guessing many of you don't either. But here are some tips that help the process: (1) use products that appear clear (not white) in your hair when wet. Mix a small amount in the palm of your hand. Do they make a lumpy white mess? then it's not a good combo. (2) Low humidity air is best (3) doing your wash & go early in the day is best so it has all day to dry. (4) a little dampness is okay at night; make sure to wear a bonnet. Follow me for more tips!
