We have a great phenomenal woman and her name is Shaunte'. She is the owner of Head 2 Souls. She provides services in the cosmetic industry, catering towards skincare and also hair care. Shaunte', are you there? I'm so glad to have you on this podcast so you can share what you do, what you love, and what is great about your business because we are excited to hear about it. I'm excited to hear about it because there is someone out there that can benefit from you and to get to know you more of what you do. Yes. Awesome. So, you just disclosed to me that you are a cosmetologist, correct? Yes. Awesome. We would like to know what inspired you to become a cosmetologist. It goes back like now I'm approaching 30, but I was 16, 15 years old doing my friend's hair and my mom's hair and doing things out of the box and growing. And my mom was just like, you gotta give baby, you should be doing this. Then I went to college, kinda let some stuff, getting away and let different, life factors get in the way and I thought that I wanted to do other things. And then I had to be reminded and turn back the whole one 80, like, okay, what are you doing? And why aren't you doing hair Right? 2017, after going to college, getting my business degree, I stopped managing. I had a whole store that I was managing. I stopped doing everything and went to school to do hair. And now three years later, I'm in a salon. I have a haircare and skincare line. It's just like, I'm growing in my purpose now. And I'm finally to the point where it's like, okay, this is where I'm supposed to be. I was supposed to do cosmetology. And I'm so happy that I finally figured it out and turned the wheel and came back to where I was supposed to be from that dream at 15. Oh, wow. So you already knew when you were 15 years old of what you wanted to become later on because it was like instilled in you as a passion. That hair was something that you wanted to be, be doing, correct? Yes. Yes. I enjoy doing hair. My mom's hair, my friend's hair, my sister's hair, her friend's hair. They would just come over and be like, curl my hair really fast. I gotta go do something tonight. I gotta go sing in a show tonight, do my hair really fast. So I'm like, okay. And then it was just, it was easy. It came naturally. I didn't have to work hard to do it. And I always believe if you don't have to work hard to do something, that's what you meant to do.  I was doing other things and going other routes. And then I said, okay, why did I change my plan at 15? I said I'm going to go to college and get a four-year degree. And then I'm going to go to cosmetology school, get my license so I can run a profitable and a good growing and a business-minded salon versus somebody that's just going out and saying, I'm about to own a salon and don't have a clue about any business. So you just had to get business-oriented, orientated, and business, um, educated. So make sure that you have everything lined up, what you need to do, because it does take knowledge in order to run a business.

Natural hаir hаѕ itѕ virtues. It’s free оf hаrmful chemical рrосеѕѕеѕ аnd can bе еаѕiеr to mаintаin. But giving уоur frаgilе natural hаir the mоiѕturе it so desperately nееdѕ саn bе a сhаllеngе. Depending оn your hаir’ѕ сurl pattern аnd tеxturе, it саn be diffiсult tо kеер nаturаl tresses hуdrаtеd. Although the hаir follicles оf African-American hаir actually рrоduсе рlеntу оf ѕеbum, thе oil is nоt еvеnlу diѕtributеd. With tightly соilеd or ѕрirаl-ѕhареd hаir fоlliсlеѕ, it’ѕ оftеn harder for nаturаl оilѕ from thе scalp to trаvеl down thе hаir ѕhаft. Pluѕ, the роrоѕitу оf nаturаl hаir саn аffесt hоw wеll it absorbs and retains the moisture thаt’ѕ ѕо vitаl fоr thе hеаlth and еlаѕtiсitу оf уоur strands. Each hair iѕ surrounded bу a gland whiсh ѕuррliеѕ it with a natural оil саllеd ѕеbum. Thiѕ оil iѕ mеаnt to lubricate аnd waterproof thе hair and ѕkin whilе рrоtесting it frоm bасtеriа аnd fungi. The tightеr thе сurlѕ аnd kinkiеr thе tеxturе it is almost imроѕѕiblе fоr thе ѕеbum tо travel and соаt the whоlе strand. Thiѕ mеаnѕ that сurlу hаir tуреѕ don’t have that essential lауеr оf oil and it is рrоnе to dryness аnd dehydration as moisture is able to lеаvе freely. Tо hуdrаtе ѕimрlу means tо аdd wаtеr. Water соntеnt of thе hаir iѕ рrimаrilу bаѕеd оn the humiditу оf thе аir around it and will always аim to bе in еԛuilibrium. Sо if you live ѕоmеwhеrе with lоw humidity уоur hаir will bе mоrе рrоnе tо dryness. Mоiѕturizing iѕ ѕоmеwhаt of a trick tеrm. At first glаnсе, it may imрlу аdding moisture or wаtеr into the hаir but it’ѕ mаin purpose is to ѕеаl оr lосk that moisture intо thе hаir strand. They create a barrier around thе hair ѕо thаt water does not lеасh out and give the hаir a boost оf kеу ingredients thаt саn bе uѕеd tо rераir оr сrеаtе bоndѕ thаt will make it ѕtrоngеr and mоrе rеѕiliеnt. A gооd mоiѕturizеr will uѕuаllу be wаtеr based аnd have a mix оf оthеr grоuрѕ of ingrеdiеntѕ inсluding еmоlliеntѕ, оilѕ and liрidѕ. Avоid рrоduсtѕ that соntаin alcohols оr ѕуnthеtiс frаgrаnсе and рrеѕеrvаtivеѕ. These соmроundѕ can оftеn hаvе аn adverse еffесt оn thе hаir аnd scalp over timе аnd work against thе аimѕ of a mоiѕturizеr. Juѕt likе thе bоdу, hаir nееdѕ wаtеr to maintain healthy ѕtrаndѕ. Whеn it comes tо naturally moisturizing hаir, thiѕ рrесiоuѕ liԛuid iѕ second only tо sebum. Hаir needs wаtеr to hеlр maintain elasticity аnd ѕtrеtсh without brеаking оff, which can еаѕilу hарреn when you mаniрulаtе brеаkаgе-рrоnе nаturаl hаir with ѕtуling аnd wаѕhing. But liquids аlоnе dоn’t hydrate hair. In fact, withоut applying a mоiѕturizеr, water саn саuѕе drуnеѕѕ because upon itѕ еvароrаtiоn, the hаir driеѕ аnd mоiѕturе can drain from thе outer layer (cortex).

Welcome back to Lumynex Essentials Textured Talk Podcast. I am your host Kerone Maxineau. I am your natural care consultant, author, and your natural girl champion. I'm in the business of inspiring and empowering women with natural afro-textured hair to overcome those challenges and those unknown certainties so that she can be on a path to achieving healthy and or growing natural hair and if that's you, girl, I give you praise! Welcome back! Thank you for listening in tuning in and inviting your curly girlfriends. Today, I want to touch a highlight on what does it mean to have naturally curly or coiled hair? I cannot speak for everyone, but I can speak personally for myself. One thing I can say that we all agree upon is that we do have a love and a hate relationship sometimes with our hair and we do experience those challenges where we feel like I cannot bother with my hair today and then we have those good days. So, I can agree with that. Do you agree with that? Great! Well, what does it mean for me to have naturally tightly coiled hair? I know that when I made the transition about over 10 years ago. I had no idea. I was lost. 1 was confused. I did not really know how to take care of my hair. I was turning into YouTube, reading blogs, and following what the girls were doing and I did the same thing. Until I realized what they did, it did not work for me because it wasn't my hair as compared to their hair. My hair was totally different. I was trying to make my hair be like their hair but that wasn't my hair. My hair is only unique to me. I had to learn how to first accept my hair the way it is and then I had to dive deeper into how I can better understand my hair and what approaches were needed. I then I discovered a regimen that I never knew what a regimen was. I needed a regimen for my hair and that was the starting point that led me to understand a hair care regimen is what I need in order to be successful in my hair care journey. Let me know was that your experience or something similar to mine. Having a hair care regimen and having a hair care regimen then I understood how it can apply to my own naturally tightly coiled hair. The one thing I do love about our hair is that it is so unique. It has such a unique texture compared to any other race. You see black hair gives significance and has power. That it can create political concerns, barriers, divisions, and oh my god texture discrimination or even the other discrimination. You know what I'm talking about within our own black community. However, there are some women out there that still see their hair as a problem and not consider it as a blessing. I found out if we continue to carry this lie that our hair that naturally grows from our scalp. How can we set an example to our black little girls who truly love themselves right now and not aware of the out lash or put too much concern about her hair?

Hello and welcome back again. I'm so happy that you decided to tune in, to listen in, to get another natural hair strategies so you can apply in your journey. Hi and welcome back. My name is Kerone Maxineau. I am a natural hair consultant, author, and your natural curl girl. I'm in the business of inspiring and empowering women with Afro-textured hair so that she can feel confident. Let's worry some and less stressful when a constant taking care of her hair so that she can love and embrace it entirely. Now, I just want to give you a little background about myself. When I went natural, I didn't have the confidence and the assurance to really know how to embrace my hair, much less how to even take care of it. I have done the research. I have read blogs. I even watch YouTube tutorials. But the only thing that really stuck out that helped me was actually researching and applying strategies to my own hair. And from there, I became less worried about how to really rock my hair as of today. So welcome on today. Again, what we're going to talk about today is, are you developing your natural hair goals? Do you have a set of natural hair goals that you want to pursue? And if you haven't, I will really want you to dive into really look into what goals do you have for your hair? Because you see, when you have a goal, it means that you are working towards that progress. And when you work towards that progress, no matter what stumbling blocks come in. That progress, you know, you're still reaching to achieve and to accomplish that goal. So what I'm gonna do. I'm going to probe your mind for a second. And I want you to think of these things on these three questions to help you to kind of zone in so you can pull out certain goals that you have for yourself. Now, I'm going to keep it, General, and these may help to trigger some thoughts. I want you to think about this one. What is a problem you have with your natural hair? Because if you have a problem with your natural hair, there is a solution to solve it. And what is the number one problem that is stopping you to reach that goal that you want for your hair and not leave? What is stopping you right now from getting the hair that you want? So take a minute and think on those questions that I just present presented to you, because they're going to help to pull out. Why are you embracing your hair and why are you not embracing your hair? Because when you have those goals that you are able to work towards that. Now, when it comes to developing a goal, there has to be a structural design or a map so you can achieve that goal. And having a design and a map is very great. However, they can't become somewhat hard for others or somewhat complex, and sometimes it can become a duplicate. So when you have a design, when you have a map for your natural hair, it can help you to get points.
