A.F.R.O.

airy, full, round, out

amazing, forgiving, rotund, obvious

always, forever, respect, ostentatious

afro love

😍😍😍

Guys, it’s okay to say afro. It’s not racist.

That is all, carry on.

does nobody like my hair?!

on the lack of representation of tight, tight, tight afros.

no evidence of curls anywhere

people compliment me all the time on my hair, but it’s because i am a hairstylist. i SHOULD be complimented on my hair right? i don’t really have an issue personally because of my job, but what if i wasn’t a hairstylist? would anyone tell me how much they liked my hair? for those of you that don’t know, my hair is a supah dupah tight afro. the pattern can wrap around a toothpick in some areas. i have two patterns, tight and then tighter. for some reason, the hair in my fringe area is less course and the curls are a little looser. the pattern is, let’s say, around the chord of a phone charger. other spots, it wraps around a toothpick…

i do not see curls

4C is the term everyone uses and it basically is the tightest curl a human head can grow. it’s so tight that it’s not even a curl! it’s a frizz essentially. the hairs zig and zag and spin and ‘curl’ in every which way! length that hangs is rare to achieve and SHRINKAGE is REAL!

you see any curls?

how can i make my clients see how beautiful there hair is when there are few representatives of this particular hair type? they hate that it shrinks, they hate that you can’t see the juicy definition of the curls and they always turn me down for a wash n’ go. No one in major marketing has accepted this hair type yet. i believe that’s why so many folks aren’t ready to unleash their frizzy afros! they’re just not ready… hopefully soon!

i know there are some people out there that are using this time (the pandemic) to grow out their afros and to see if they can accept leaving their hair out as is. when you’re ready, so am i!

It's Wednesday!

HAIR

I did it again! Ok, not me, Niasha this time, but I have new hair! I always wear a sleep cap and use the satin pillowcase when I have fresh hair! As soon as a week passes, I’m just sleeping on all the cotton I can find. It’s like I forget that my hair needs to be covered in order to last. I can’t seem to figure out why I only cover for the first bit. As soon as I see some fuzz, I’m done! Finito! NO MORE CAPS.

sorry bout the lighting but you get it. it’s new and long and blondish…

Which are you? Diligent hair coverer, or like me, wild with the best intentions of protection? I mean, my hair IS in a protective style already right? That’s not enough?

Call 12044149023 (Winnipeg) if you want to make an appointment for single box braids (like I have) or check out our online store if you’re looking for satin pillowcases. Happy Holidays!

It's Wednesday!

DWELLINGS

The snow is here! If you live in a place like Winnipeg, you will know the romance of a fireplace. There’s something about a fire place that is the best decor for snow filled days! From hanging stockings to stunning mantle displays, in a home, a fire place can’t be beat!

It's Wednesday!

PLANTS

This is one of the plant line ups at my house. Honestly, anything in a row is a line up to me! This particular line up is in our family room. I have a subtle yellow theme going on here. Can you tell?

I saw a funny meme last week making a reference to how much money has been spent when you live in a house full of plants. 💸💸💸

It's Wednesday!

LIFESTYLE

Dreamy spaces to exist! Can you imagine?!
