Curly Hair, Before and After

| Shikote

Monique came into the salon on her way to a lunch with friends.  I nourished her hair with some deep conditioners and yummy hair products, all by Original Moxie.  Then I twisted her hair into a cute set!

Before:

And after!

Thank you Monique!  So good to see you again!

Original Moxie Products

Original Moxie products are made locally in Ypsilanti by someone with curly hair for people with curly hair.  The products are all natural and organic when possible.  They’re made of herbs and flowers and natural butters.  They smell so yummy you could eat them!  This is one of the best product lines I’ve ever used;  I am so happy to have this in the salon!

Maeve, Daighna, and I

Måeve, Daighna, and I got together on Sunday and had the first ever photo shoot at Grateful Dreads!  We got very creative, worked hard, and had a lot of fun.  I love that I get to spend time making art with such wonderful people and am so thankful!  The pics below were all taken with my iphone.  The real pics were shot by Daighna Rayner and are currently being looked through and edited by her.

Here’s a sneak of our last look.  Måeve in a beautiful grassy meadow.  She’s wearing the wrap dress designed by Fotoula Lambros for Fotoula Lambros Design.  This dress was the closing look in FLD’s most recent Detroit fashion show but in white.  She graciously loaned us the black one for this shoot.

Look at those clouds!

The rest of these photos are of the salon after the shoot.  I really love my new salon!  And I really loved this shoot.  Everything about it.

Most of those clothes are by designer Kelly Lynne. She and I pulled from her newest collection which was totally fun!

A very special day

Thanks to everyone involved!
