On today's episode I talk to Vecoya Banks who is the founder of "Love The Hair You Wear".  LTHYW was created to help black women embrace their natural hair, increase self-esteem, and support their self care journey. LTHYW is a uniquely curated experience that connects attendees with brands and techniques that empower them. This is especially important in today's political climate. Black women need a safe space to be themselves and discuss the issues that are important to them. Hair is the vehicle for LTHYW but the message is much deeper. She most recently held a "Love The Hair You Wear "event, which took place in mid-September at North Carolina A&T State University.  Over 400 students attended, and the day was filled with meaningful discussions, networking, and celebration of natural beauty and identity.  About Vecoya Banks: Vecoya Banks is a graduate of the World Renowned North Carolina A&T State University and trailblazer in the natural hair community.

In this weeks episode, I share a brief story of a previous clients that reached out for a consultation due to his scalp concerns. I talk about the consultation, my recommendations and the importance of Salon sanitation and infection control practices.  I also breakdown the differences between Seborrhea Dermatitis and Eczema.   This episode is recommended to the client and stylist.  As a salon professional we can always be open to listening to our clients and their concerns, as we have a responsibility to ourselves and clients to keep our work areas and tools clean and sanitized to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. As clients, I ask that you communicate with your stylist, ask questions.   Natural Hair Education Resources and Programs "5 Principles to Understanding & Performing Natural Hair Care Services" "What Beauty School DID NOT Teach You"  "Texture on Texture" Styling Course
