Ryan’s Beautiful Hair!

Ryan is a beautiful and classy young woman.  She recently decided to cut out her relaxer and wear her hair natural!  Congrats Ryan!  I’m so happy to be part of this change!  Ryan is really going to enjoy not having to chemically treat her hair anymore.  It’s been most of her life since she’s seen her natural texture.

2 1/2 hours later I had it looking nice! I preserved her two dreads by wrapping them with pretty colors and with hand blown glass beads!

Gabi’s Curly Hair Photos by Mike Frieseman

We recently got together at Grateful Dreads to do a cool curly set on Gabi’s hair for some pictures with Mike Frieseman. My vision was a bunch of tiny, bouncey curls. Thousands of them! Vanu and I wrapped all of her hair in a tiny spiral set on some custom rollers that Greg and I made. Before wrapping her hair, I put some jewel toned blue/green color on her dreads underneath her hair which we all loved!

Please enjoy these beautiful pictures of Gabi by Mike Frieseman:
