Last week we talked about the different braiding hair brands that are considered toxic. This week I wanted to tell you guys about alternative hair brands that claim they are toxic-free, hypoallergenic, and even plant-based. I spent all week researching brands that the girlies were talking about on TikTok. I found a few and even my sister sent me one that she had seen.

Our next shoutout goes to another person who I admire in this industry. She is my mentor and second biggest supporter!

        Born August 9, 1989, to former slaves Robert and Isabella Turnbo. Unfortunately, both of her parents died when she was young, but she was either raised by her older sister or Aunt. (I read multiple sources about her, and this part was reported differently each time, so I decided to just say both because they both helped in a way to raise her into the woman she became.) As she grew up, she would eventually get sick and would have to drop out of school. This was not going to slow her down at all. She would continue her studies, especially with chemistry, and with the help of her aunt (an herbalist of her time) she would learn how to mix and formulate different herbal recipes. Thus, igniting the spark inside her that would build an empire for ethnic hair. 

So, you decided that you wanted to get your cosmetology license and you are a little lost on which school to go to, how much it might cost you, and even how long you will have to be in school. Well, I am going to answer all these questions honestly and hopefully help a ton of you out. So, let's get to it.

             So, you took your state board test and got your results. All you read is YOU PASSED and now your face with the fact of where you want to work and what's best for your brand. You do not know which option is better for you. Should you do Booth Rent or work on Commission Base Pay.
