BI Fam, today we are introducing you to a new podcast segment with one of LA’s master natural hair stylists, Brandii Holloway, owner and operator of 2814 Hair Studio. The idea for this podcast came about as a result of my conversations with two of my cousins who are currently transitioning their hair. One I talk to constantly, swapping product suggestions and photos of our experimenting with styles. The other I try to encourage to stay the course when the process of transitioning becomes frustrating. It occurred to me that perhaps there are other women out there who are committed to the process, but find it challenging – so I called in an expert. Listen in as Brandii and I discuss what transitioning means, the best styles for anyone in the process, do’s and don’ts and resources to consult to educate yourself about managing your natural hair. Enjoy!
