I grew up around people who didn't have or understand natural black hair. On top of that, it was difficult to find information about how to style or take care of my hair. So, naturally, I was uneducated about it. As a result, I had very damaged, dry, and brittle hair. And to make it worse I didn't see the beauty in my own crown.
When I made the choice to embrace my natural hair, I felt bullied by it. It was like a disobedient child, never willing to cooperate. Eventually, I became educated about black hair through years of, ongoing, research of trial and error. Since then, I've been able to take back the control. I finally saw how beautiful black hair is and that it is capable of anything. Somewhere along my hair journey I started making my own hair products. Once I started, my hair changed completely!
Naturally Shea•mless was inspired by that feeling of powerlessness that almost every woman has felt in her lifetime or in her natural hair journey. I want to help other women take back the control they deserve, by providing high-end natural hair care services and personalized hair care regimens. Thanks for joining me on this journey of becoming a #sheamlessnatural
I remember what it felt like being a Naturalista that felt bullied by my unhealthy hair. I decided to begin my education journey with B-ty Institute to inspire, educate, and assist other women in their natural hair journey.
My most memorable experience at B-ty Institute would be the total sense of safety I felt to learn, express myself, and help others in class. I had never experienced that feeling among my peers before to that degree!
So far, just one year in, my greatest accomplishment in the Natural Hair Care Field has been working with one particular client who came to me with several hair concerns. Not only did she suffer from chemical damage, heat damage, and alopecia. She also suffered from seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. Her main hair goal was to have her curls back. I definitely had my work cut out for me but after sending her to see a dermatologist, I put together a hair treatment plan to work alongside with her doctor and a hair care regimen to ensure we could reach her goals of a healthy scalp and healthy beautiful curls! Each month her hair and scalp improved. After just seven months her hair and scalp completely transformed! I'm so proud of the clear and obvious progress this Client has made under my care. She is still with me today on one of my Natural Hair Care Subscription Plans seeing me twice a month and continues to thrive.
My inventive style is a unique macrame stitch style called DNA Braids. It was inspired by my childhood experiences of making bracelets and is something that has never been done before! A special technique and style of yarn hair is used to accomplish this unique style. DNA Braids can also be done in any color up to mid shoulder length. DNA Braids may take 11-14 hours to install however, they are a protective style that can be worn for as long as 6 months depending on the rate at which your hair grows. Your hair left in this protective style is completely untouched by the elements and everyday wear and tear. It truly is the ultimate protective style!
