I loved your hair story Karen!! A black woman’s hair really is a signature of the different seasons of her life. You met so many greats while you were living in LA how amazing! Becoming hair independent out of necessity is so relatable I’ve also lived in a few places that didn’t have black stylist. Learning your hair for yourself is truly a gift. I also love the way you style your hair now ~ very chic and demure 🤌🏾

This reminds me of the famous Willie Lee Morrow (October 9, 1939 – June 22, 2022) was an American barber, businessman and inventor, who worked in the African American haircare industry. He was noted for inventing the Afro pick and developing the forerunner to the Jheri curl hairstyle. I feel like people don't give this man enough credit when it comes to black hair.

Omg I loved this story. Out hair is very beautiful and important and ive noticed based in location we have different styles but we always have a story. I love now ( my mom also) that there’s videos out. She tells us quick to Pinterest that lol she looks at the photo and recreates it. Then makes us do it ourselves lol Independence is a thing and with your hair it’s especially freeing.
