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.

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.

I wanted to spend some time discussing the role of diet and health in hair care. I believe we know that there is a correlation between the diet and health and hair care, but I wanted to really do in depth to share the overall benefits of optimum health and nurtrition.
In the episode I start with understanding the hair structor as this will allow you to understand how diet, hydration and overall health impact hair health. I talk about the 3 layers of a single hair strand, the role of protein and keratin and foods that are rich in proteins. I also share essential nutrients such as the most impactful vitamins and minerals needed for healthy hair follicles and hair.
Below are a list of proteins, vitamins and minerals I talked about in the episode.
