Help on Your Hair Journey
By Lisa Beard | Beauty and Lifestyle Contributor
We've come a long way on the journey to have perfect hair: from being made to feel ashamed of it, to trying to straighten out the "naps", to celebrating it against all odds, and finally to making the nation respect it. (i.e. The CROWN Act, which stands for Create a Respectful and Open Workplace for the Natural hair, https://crownactlaw.com/, is law in six states.) Today all hair is embraced, and whether you wear it natural or permed, you can find solace in the fact that all three ladies mentioned here have thought about your hair woes and how to deal with them. Their own personal hair journeys leading them to create a hair product for your needs. They are giving our hair, whatever the texture, the attention it needs and the acceptance it deserves.
