Natural vs. Relaxed

So, I have been receiving emails over the past few weeks regarding the differences between Natural hair and Relaxed hair. In these emails, the common fear factor is HEALTHY.

The difference to me is geared more so to other chemical treatment restraints. Meaning, if you are one that prefers lighter shades of color, then you would benefit from going natural instead of compromising the strength of your hair with the double chemical process (relaxer and high lift color). Getting relaxers applied by a professional stylist will not damage your hair and may aide in certain lifestlye choices; ie. working out, swimming.

These are a few of the questions/concerns that I address in consultations. Your style choice, color, lifestyle, whether or not the client sweats on scalp, future hair/style goals. In either case, healthy hair is certainly possible. Education is the key, and team work is the focus!

Creative Flow in Times Square

After finishing a client from the Bronx for her GAP casting call, I decide to head to Times Square for a little bit of people watching! Of course, my main focus is on hair. Ohhhh the cuts, the color, the movement, the creativity. I see spikes. Red hues, brown and even shades of green. This inspires me and awakens my creative flow. Pics to come soon…..
