Do you work with male and female clients 'n' which do you prefer?
|
|
|
|
"Since I work from my home base, my male clients are by referrals
only. I prefer women because I don’t have to worry about women coming
on to me in the fearful manner men have done. One of my male clients
actually tried to kiss me while I was about to wash his hair. Yes,
I’ve had many women express their feelings for me, but it was never in
an offensive and scary outcome. " |

What are the most basic forms of natural hair styles you get requested
to style? |
|
|
|
"The most popular styles are double-strand and comb-coil twists and
when worn after a month, the twists can be untwisted to the curly
free-fro look that is just a popular hairstyle among the sistas. The
cornrows from ear to ear with the rest of the hair double-strand are
becoming eye candy as well. Loc maintenance and versatile loc styling
are among the most requested hairstyles list as well." |

|
What products are useful and are these products easily available? |
|
|
|
"I use LeKair Aloe Conditioner, Nature’s Advantage shampoo and Aloe
Vera gelly by Lily of the Desert Conditioner and Shampoo can be
purchased in your local beauty supply store. The Aloe Vera gelly in
health food stores such as Whole Foods." |
|
|
|
Do you ever create your own styles? |
|
|
|
"Always, because I create from a spiritual plane, I don’t look at
magazines to duplicate what’s been done already. I’m a hair artist who
believes in creating original work suited to enhance each unique
person. The artistry technique used may be the same among us artists,
but like a finger print, the results are always different." |

In your opinion what is “natural”
? |
|
|
|
"Being Natural is embracing your God’s given hair texture without
chemical alteration. Coloring your hair is not changing your hair
texture, therefore, in theory, it’s exempt." |

What do you think suits your hair style best and who does your hair? |
|
|
|
I'm now wearing my hair in a afro after cutting my locs of 9 yrs.
Many people wonder why I chose to cut them and I've explained that
10 yrs ago when I went natural, I didn't experience the many natural
hairstyles that are created without extensions. I went from being
natural for 1 yr , to locing my hair. It's a rebirth for me and I
felt I owe myself the complete joy to experience styling my hair
in the versatile styles that I've learned to create on my clients
hair. Extension free of course!!

|
What hair type is best suited to your styles – thick / curly / fine
etc ? |
|
|
|
There was a time when people thought to have looser and wavy hair was
the best, but now people are craving for kinkier texture hair. Good
hair is healthy hair regardless of texture. Thick hair is the most
wonderful texture to have. It gives the hairstyles volume and body.
The more kinkier your hair texture, the longer the hairstyles last.
The looser density of one’s curls, the shorter time a hairstyle
lasts. |
