In this episode of The Texture Lounge, I get to chat it up with Naeemah LaFond.

Haitian-American, Brooklyn-based, Queen of statement hair and Global Artistic Director at Amika haircare brand.

Here's what we are talking about:

• The meaning behind her name (tip: John Coltrane is involved)
• Her zone of genius
• What book she is reading: "Say More About That...and other ways to speak up, push back and advocate for yourself and others" by Amber Carrall.
• An insecurity she had growing up
• Her multiple career-shifts: From a tax account, biomedical pharmacology, sociology, court clerk to hairstylist.
• What sparks her creative process for her phenomenally extra, signature looks
• Most satisfying career moment
• Trendwatch: Why black models are not being serviced backstage at fashion shows & who's fault it is
• Importance of boundaries and the signs that tell her she needs to disconnect from everything
• Her ultimate dream for her life
• Earliest beauty moments
• Her favourite self-care moment & upcoming beauty appointments
