Braids...I am fascinated by them. Adding it to any updo can create a focus point of innocence, sophistication, sexiness and/ freshness. Braids have been the style of choice for centuries.

History shows that braids were the preferred style for royalty and other social classes. Centuries ago, women of a lesser social economic status would wear simple braids, while the upper class and royalty would wear elaborate and intricate ones. Nowadays, it has no social, economic, racial, geographic boundaries or distinctions.

We take pride on being self-sufficient. In fact, as parents we encourage our children to be independent from a very early age. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects are increasingly becoming more and more like a staple for cautious spending. As a colorist, I do not condemn the use of store bought color. I believe people have needs and sometimes their resources cannot fully meet them. Another driving force to an increase in DIY home coloring, is today's economy and the Covid-19 Pandemic.
