Black Legacy We would not have the opportunity to create this without the multitude of victors and trials in our Black history. We are in a position to continue on in creating generational, holistic wealth and opportunities for our Black children. ... Forever grateful and aware of the privilege within the dismay of ignorance that still reigns in ways of systemic oppression and the simplest of ignorance with all the good intentions. Macro, Micro... ism is an ism no matter how many ways one tries to flip it. Lots to do and lots to celebrate. It is a journey. I remain grateful to be a spiritual being living this experience in this beautiful body. It can be sad, but God wants us to move with the power He has given to be the continued change while here on Earth. Being you is more than enough

This year was a lot less about hair. I am extremely grateful for the Tribe that continues to fill me with light while inviting me to sit in the dark. Both were needed this year. Both helped realign intentions and uncover what was no longer wanting to be buried deep down. ... It’s okay if you want to kick 2020 into another vortex....it happened ,yet many are still here to see another day. I think the most important thing to take away, at least for me, is that it is enough to show up! That’s going to look different from day to day, but you are of importance to this cycle of life!If Jesus says yes Who cares who says no! While we here on Earth, live and let live ! Speak your truth. Release expectations HAPPIEST NEW YEAR LOVES XOXO WISHING YOU PEACE AND PROSPERITY

I keep saying 2020 needed to happen. It brought so much to light for the entire World and within my own human experience. Some still steady sleeping and I pray they soon wake up ! I don’t know what that looks like for one person vs another, but I am standing in the gratitude of the abilities that revealed themselves in 2020. Thank God for another day

It’s important to take the time apply product properly to ensure your hair hold’s on to your Curls in their most hydrated form.There’s definitely a way to do it that we find tried and true.

Kids and their curls Patience is needed when working with hair in general, but most especially when kids are involved. They deserve to feel like their hair is worth taking the time to understand it’s need. Do you find it challenging to get to the scalp when washing hair with a large mass and high density? ... Utilize as many sections as you need to get right to it ! A big part of washing the hair is about scrubbing the scalp to remove dirt. Take your time and enjoy passing on the Joy’s and at times frustrations that come with the hair care process. . . . . . . . . #kinkycurly#kinkycurls#curlyhair #curls #curlyhairkillas#canadiancurls#ottawahairsalon #ottawacurls#curlsunderstood#kinkycurls#kinkycoily#curlyhaircommunity#curlfest#curlspecialist #curldefinition#curlyhaireducation#curlyhaireducator See more

We are all made perfectly different These Sisters have different curl types , but their needs are one in the same...HYDRATION IS KEY!!! Older Sis washes more often due to sports while Little Sis leans onto a curl set that lasts a full 5-7 days. ... Kindness and patience go a long way.

We’ve all had a trying year in many different ways. Please take the time to stop and feel. The impact of trauma can hit long after it happens causing it to be suppressed instead of addressed in healthier ways. This year I’ve learned that I am my favourite resting place. The best one of them all is when I sit with God. The external place can change, but the internal peace is gifted upon continual renewal. Where has your resting place been for 2020? What space can you create for 2021?

We cater to our clients based off of CURL types, not SKIN tone. All are welcome here.

Ya’ll , It’s my BornDay and this is how I feel I’ve been in business for 10 years, educating for 4 years, apart of a band for 5 years, and released my first single this year. I love inviting others into self-discovery. The universe has so much greatness in store for each and every one of us.... Sometimes it can be done in quiet , while other times you will be required to get loud! 2020 has been full of emotions both high and low and I give my thanks to the most high for elevation through this Life filled with uncertainty.Faith allows for this to be my bonafide frame of mind. No matter what season you are being taken through right now, I need you to know the days will get brighter. Find the light within you!You’ve got to believe more than any other being on this Earth that you can and will achieve! Believe in you! . . . . . @im.quest @stephaniejones3110 Styled by @kingberniee Clothing provided by @rinude

Ya’ll, raw oils are not it ! It’s blocking your hair from revealing its full curl potential! It can take 6-12 months for your hair to transition out of the layers and layers of unneeded products. Throw out the DAX and toss away the PINK LOTION. These are petroleum based which means you could use vaseline(huge hydration blocker) to do whatever we think those products are supposed to do! Consistency will do more for your than castor oil , coconut oil, shea better and yes even ...almond oil ever will. I know, your mind is blown! Let’s work on a new regimen together We got you!

Tightly curled kinky hair I think it’s my fave because people with this hair type think that having an actual curl/wave/coil pattern has just skipped right on over them. The things your curls do when they are moisturized are not beyond you! We can find them Definitely obsessed with showing you how to !... With @ottawahairlove taking on clients, we get to spread double that love and we are so so grateful! Thank you for trusting us with your hair ! We love helping you see what we know has been there all along !

We have talks with clients about the beauty of their naturally given curl pattern vs the vision they had for their curl pattern due to the internet. Please, do not feed into medias view of Black Beauty. Let’s keep embracing our hair, our curves or lack there of, our multitude of tones we represent, the pride and glory of the Cultures we identify with. HEALTHY HYDRATED HAIR IS AVAILABLE TO YOU!... Let us show you how to achieve higher levels of hydration and moisture retention so that your curls can live their best life

Another day, another opportunity to start fresh. It’s not always easy to keep it moving , but we must remain focused on our light after we sit with the sadness. With every disappointment, there is a Blessing in a lesson. Remember, it’s already yours! No body can truly block your Blessings although they may alter for a minute. It’s already yours! Go out there and get it !

When you are deciding on next steps, next jobs, next careers, further education, you should rather find purpose than a job or a career.Purpose crosses disciplines. Purpose is an essential element of you. It is the reason you are on the planet at this particular time in history. This quote from 2018 was spoken to a room full of Howard University Students by Chadwick Boseman. He created so many powerful moments in the lives of many in the last 4 years in particular. Let alone... the stories we will never know. It is so important not to judge a book by it’s cover. No one ever knows what someone else could be going through. Not everyone shares every piece of their story and they should not need to for empathy to be held. Just keep in mind, we are all doing our best, striving forth each day to do better! Be better than the day before. Versions of what this means differ for all and will help you align with your Tribe He has left a Legacy for his Family and for the community. I remember going to see Black Panther with a Dashiki and dancing through the entire credits. I felt so much pride in this film. Hold your Visions close. Build your Legacy one day at a time. With each moment is an opportunity to do something a little bit different than you may have before. Wakanda Forever

Let’s talk about black hair for a minute. Do you know that being black does not necessarily determine what curl pattern and texture you have ? There are similarities that many backgrounds share, but black hair is not as accurate as we think. Let’s learn about our client HAIR TYPE i.e. Curly, Kinky, Coily , Wavy , Straight and then discuss the TEXTURE i.e Silky, Wool-like etc. and then learn how to work with it. ... You may not want to specialize in other hair types, but knowing how to work with ALL PEOPLE that step into your space will benefit humanity

So glad to be back! Ya’lls hair was missing me just as much as I missed them So much has changed for the better ! Many things remain the same. Like the energy we share. The convos we have. The tears that shed. This is a place of release. This space feels so safe and we remain grateful that it has made it through the last few months. ... NEW CLIENTS ARE NOW WELCOME!
