Masterclass: Hair on Purpose (what should I do with my hair?)

I was invited by Koyinsola of Tresses by KVC to speak during her masterclass, Hair on Purpose: What Should I Do With My Hair. During the session, we talked about our relaxed/texlaxed/natural hair journeys,

  • representations of different hair types in African media

  • the role of regimen building

  • identifying helpful products for your hair type

  • the fun things that happen when you allow yourself to play with your hair

  • warnings on over-styling and

  • the importance of being realistic with your hair goals and honest with your hairstylist through lifestyle changes as they may affect your hair growth expectations.

It was a very interactive panel and I am so glad I was able to attend. Here are some pictures from the day.
