I always find it hard to categorize my style because I don’t believe one should. Depending on how I feel or what message I may be trying to get across that particular day, will influence my choice.

I just love to experiment with my hair. It is fun and a great way to get to know your hair. My hair makes me feel like an empowered black woman, ready to take over the world.
