Would you fly to another continent just to get your hair done? Would you wear a hat for a month to hide a bad haircut? On this month's episode I sit down with my friend Krystyle to discuss our hair care struggles. A big shout out goes to Krystyle's sister for her labors of love, and to Krystyle's hair dresser LaToya for actually listening. 

It would mean A LOT to me if you could leave a like and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. It helps me share the learning, healing, and growth with a wider audience.
