Every Table…
My Granny had a saying: “Every table’s got to stand on its own legs.” I’ve found many places to apply that saying in my life since she passed and today I’m going to apply it to hair. Not just Natural Hair. :::crowd gasps in unison::: There’s a misconception that there’s a no maintenance way of…

Ooh My Holiday Protective Hairdos
