Eight. ♾️

Eight years ago, I started one of my dear friend’s loc journey. Today, as she sat with me while she began my third loc journey, we reflected on how much life has changed since then.

There’s something about this season that feels different. The number 8 represents new beginnings, and while I don’t fully understand what God is unfolding yet, I know this journey isn’t just about my hair. It’s about growth, surrender, healing, and becoming.

This is my third time choosing locs, but this time… it feels like I’m choosing myself in a deeper way.

I’m trusting the process, embracing every stage, and allowing this journey to reveal what it’s meant to teach me.

Have you ever looked back and realized a season was preparing you for the one you’re in now? I’d love to hear your story. 🤎

Melissa Grant just thank u SISTER 🥰🫂🙌🏽😝

✨ Follow my journey with 𝙺𝚎𝚢𝙴𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚜 𝙷𝚊𝚒𝚛™️ for healthy hair, loc education, and the beauty of becoming.

National Crown Day is rooted in the fight for equity and the protection of our right to wear our natural hair without discrimination. It represents freedom, identity, culture, and the beauty of our roots.

As a Master Cosmetologist, educator, and advocate for healthy hair, I stand firmly for Black women and men embracing the crown God gave them—locs, coils, curls, kinks, and all.

Your hair is not “too much.”
It is not unprofessional.
It is not something to hide.

It is your heritage.
It is your power.
It is your crown.

Today we celebrate progress, but we continue the work of making every space safe for us to show up fully and authentically.

Wear your crown. In every room. Every season. Every time. 👑

EL You definitely did your things on my hair lawk!!! Thank u for seeing me!! ☺️
