Throughout the week, every week, I get several emails from people sharing their hair journeys with me and asking for help to overcome some sort of struggle they’re experiencing. This puts me in a difficult position because as much as I like to help people, and I do, there’s a limit to how much I can help over email exchanges other than giving them a little tip or advice or direct […]

When I started my transitioning hair journey I came into the notion of protective hairstyles, and how beneficial it was to include them in my hair regiment while transitioning from relaxed to natural hair.
