Can somebody help me run my business like this?!?!
Everybody seems to think detangling is a simple process.
And it can be… but simple does not mean quick, effortless, or mindless.
When you have Type 3 or 4 curls and you do any of the following, your hair does not stand a chance.
1. Wearing your hair in its natural state with no maintenance routine
2. Skipping regular shampoo sessions
3. Wearing “protective” styles that use thick braid gels that DO NOT BREAK DOWN WELL WITH WATER
4. Not wanting to touch your own hair at all
5. Not planning or allocating time to care for your hair properly
6. Rushing. Yanking. Being aggressive with your strands
Healthy detangling starts way before the comb ever touches your curls.
It starts with habits, maintenance, and the way you treat your hair every day.
If you struggle with detangling, product buildup, breakage, or feeling lost on wash day, I can help you get your routine together and keep your hair on your head.

Ever since my first realization of self sabotage, I’ve been seeing it show up in my life more and more.

My weekend!!!
Saturday, I attended The Hair and Healing Forum presented by Dr. Barbosa wheee I also linked up with Healthful Hair Solutions and Evolving Textures, Inc. Great info, great vending, and a HEFTY GOODY BAG! Afterwards, I picked up Kyla and we spent WAY TOO MUCH MONEY! Crumbl Cookie, Jeni’s Icecream, and Akira where I found some really cute pieces. I was so excited, I had to call my girl and tell her so she can start back inviting me out since Im the friend that dont like to dress up. We gon change that, ok!
Today, I shampooed Kyla’s hair in the kitchen sink!!! I haven’t done this since about 2010. We went to The Lawn Breakfast Bar - the Grits Flight was 🤤 Then to Loving Our Natural Hair, Curl Clinic! Wonderful info about bills in progress to be passed that impact our community and our profession.
Overall, my weekend was pretty damn full and I enjoyed it!
I can really get used to having Saturdays off but don’t tell my Saturday clients 😘
I love this ad!!!!

That's why Susan G. Komen created Stand for H.E.R to address these issues. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3KR4C7c
