StrandsofNature Hair Studio

The best choices for your hair are the ones you know you can commit to. Not whats trending or what so and so has going on.

Made the move to combine my micros to a manageable size and then I cut the back off. Easier to maintain and fits my lifestyle. Plus, I’m hella cute and confident. 😉

I’ve had long locs, traditional, semi freeform, micro, short, shoulder length, mid back length, colored, LOCS

At every stage there was a reason for the changes that went according to my lifestyle. A trend can’t always line up with what my hair needs to thrive or what my health needs.

Now don’t get me wrong some of these ideas are creative and fun but ask yourself three questions.

1. Is this healthy for my hair and wellbeing?
2. Will I financially and practically be able to maintain this?
3. Would this add value to my self worth and bring ease to my life?

If you cant answer that with a confident YES
Then it’s a confident NOPE

Client Conversations

Though I would never reveal the word for word moments with my people, for years I’ve had the privilege of so much wisdom. Many of you I will see again I’m sure but I have always wished that you could all link up. In fact, some of the advice I’ve even given has been due to the massive amount of growth I’ve had by sitting at the feet of great minds like yourselves.

Social media can be used for many things. Today it was placed on my heart to allow it to be a place for insight and healing on my small slice of the internet.

If this or any of these slides resonated with you let me know in the comments, I’d love to be a vessel for you guys to finally link up.

Consultations, are they important?

Short answer YES!

This should always be the first interaction you have with ANY stylist. Notice that you never have a contractor work on your home without first interviewing, assessing, and asking questions. Many times you see multiple before choosing the right person for the job.

Why do we do more for our material storehouses than we do for our physical temples?? Hmmmm 🧐👂👂🏾did you catch that? Let that one sink in…we can do better people.

My first experience learning about locs was with a loctician in Harlem. Her name was Sandra and she talked me thru healthy hair and knowing how to care for my hair before she even touched my hair. That stayed with me for life.

All I wanted was to look like those women with flowing locs walking the streets of Harlem.
Instead she taught me how to respect my crown and grow in my own self worth.

It all began with a conversation on hair care. Here I am now, giving that same energy I received as a young woman.

How about you guys? What has your experiences been like?

Is there anything that a newbie to the community should bring up during a consultation?

I was in a pink kinda mood
So naturally, Listen if your a color lover like me. Hair wax is the way to go. I’ve got zero damage and it rinses out sooo easy. What color combo should I do next?
