Liz’s Hair Story
I actually love natural styles and find them to be beautiful at all lengths, so for me the journey has yet to present a hard situation. I recall a lot of hard situations I dealt with when I had relaxed hair.

Wrap your hair in Glitter
How do I shine through the fabric? This is similar to the saying, “…wear the clothes, don’t let the clothes wear you”. When instruction is ambiguous, I fall back on what I know will work for me. At times, it is difficult to know what expectations are for certain shoots.
Bunch of Colored Locs
