Transitioning Your Hair From Processed to Natural (PODCAST)

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!

Target Shoppers: Support Black Business!

As I was walking through the toiletry aisles of my local Target, I had to do a double take: on the shelves sat one of my favorite hair products of all time – Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding.

I use to have to send off for Miss Jessie’s products from New York, and luckily I stocked up on my last trip there, but to have it in my local Target is too good to be a true – and a MAJOR business move for the sisters that created the product.

Labeled, “The Best Darn Curl Cream Period”, I can personally endorse this product for natural hair, especially for twists-outs and braid-outs. For naturally curly-haired folks, this product will enhance your natural curls to the fullest, while keeping your hair moisturized and smelling wonderful.

Find Miss Jessie’s products in your local Target stores today!
