I didn't realize how corporations infiltrated the black hair care industry until making this mini documentary. To put a relaxer in a box was, in essence, putting a salon in a box. They paid for enough advertising to convince black women that corporations had their best interests better than licensed professionals. Not to say that there weren't trifling salons & hair professionals out there in the 80s and 90s. I'm saying that the triflingness( ik that isn't a word🤫🫣) gave the opening for corporate interests to sever trust with small businesses indefinitely. Now, they're facing all these lawsuits for cancer in women who used these exact same products. Putting a corrosive chemical in a box, then a disclaimer saying " be careful " is a recipe for disaster.

Do you remember the RIO hair scandal? Some people loved it but may experienced severe hair damage. Anytime the FDA has to step in, you know there's a problem!
We're literally the safe space. SALONS ARE SAFE SPACES. If the abusers know the government MANDATES (not "suggests" but "MANDATES) this "education" they'll know for certain we'll report them as opposed to "might" report them. This is SOLELY about a person who is getting a government contract who will connect with 50 states to charge the fee for federal grants. PERIOD. Let's stop pretending Congress suddenly gives af about violence let alone domestic violence in America. That's not how business nor government works.
i feel like this "mandate" may make the abusers stop sending thrm to the salon altogether #domesticabuseawareness #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurvivor #salonlife #politics
It's fascinating to me how so much links back to dehydration. All the processed foods you consume require even more water in order for your body to be able to digest it. Sometimes things are just that simple.
When we go to hair school , the State requires us to learn anatomy. I couldn't understand why they would force us to understand it in order to be licensed. 1. For liability protection for the State (to relieve them of it should lawsuits arise) 2. So you could save yourself from being liable to litigation because you can't answer basic questions your client may have like "why is my hair dry?" or "What are some things I could be doing at home to help my hair growth?"
