Good Hair

Hair is a big thing in my family. My mother had all of her children, including me, in braids. She loved to make our hair healthy and our hair grow.  Mane and Tail conditioner , coconut oil, avocado, home egg hair concoctions, barrettes and more. A lot of my self-esteem and emotions relied, were dependent on my mother doing my hair. Feeling pretty, feeling restricted, and feeling cared for, there was something deeper about hair, in my childhood. Now it plays a major role in conveying many messages in my work.
