I have clients who know so little about hair products that I have heard them confess to using body lotion or soap to wash their hair. I dedicate this post to them about what hair care products are and what they can do for our hair.

My Hair Nightmare Story
Since I’m a kid I've been paranoid of other people doing my hair. That’s how I started braiding my own hair when I was only 8 years old. Ever since childhood, I've been very skeptical of who I trust with my hair so I always style the hair myself: I can do my own box braids, I can straighten my hair, do hair treatments, and even trim my own ends. I don’t like people touching my hair, period! I only wish I had remembered that lesson.
