People who criticize Gabby’s hair obviously don’t care about sports or at least they care more about hair than the efforts it takes to reach the top. As a fanatic sports woman, I definitely care more about sports and to say that the comments of these people deeply bother me is an understatement. To hope […]
Hairstylist Shawn Lamar
I can say, honestly, that natural hair is the love that found me. I began by locking my own and my friends’ hair, experimenting with different products styles and techniques, but i didnt think about doing hair professionally until another friend, who had completed hair school, suggested I do so.
