Sis…Do you scratch your scalp with your nails like you’re DJ’ing a mixtape? STOP. DROP. AND RETHINK THAT ITCH.

Excessive scratching with fingernails can cause tiny hair cuts on your scalp — and those little cuts can lead to breakage, inflammation, or even loc thinning over time. Yikes!

Instead, use the balls of your fingers (yes, the pads — not the claws). It gives you the relief you’re craving without attacking your roots like they owe you money. Your scalp deserves gentle love, not WWE moves. #LocCare101 #HealthyScalpHappyLocs #TexturedTouchTips #ScratchWisely #LocsNeedLoveToo #KeepItCuteNotCrusty #LocDamageControl

Relaxation is the name of this appointment.

I started this session with Inflúance’s Rosemary Scalp Spray for a little stimulation therapy—massaging it in for a full 5 minutes to wake up the scalp and boost circulation. From there, we moved into a luxury shampoo and conditioning scalp massage to seal the deal.

Healthy hair starts at the root—and so does relaxation.

I Brought Her Locs Back to LIFE!

She’s been holding it down on her own (shout out to all the DIY queens!), but even the most dedicated need a little professional touch sometimes.

What did we do? Oh, just a lil’ loc CPR:
• Detoxed those babies like they had secrets
• Shampooed FOUR times (because once wasn’t enough)
• Gave her scalp a full-on spa moment
• Towel dried with love
• Crocheted like grandma at a family reunion
• Interlocked those roots tighter than group chat tea

Now her locs are soft, clean, and back to boss status.
Moral of the story: Do your thing at home, but don’t skip your professional check-ins. I got you!

After Care Two Strand twist on Natural/Textured Hair

Hair Care Instruction Manual for Two-Strand Twists

Nighttime Routine

1. Prepare for Bed
- Cover Your Hair: Use a satin skull cap, wave cal, loc soc or scarf to protect your two-strand twists while you sleep. Avoid using a bonnet as it may not keep your twists intact.

Daytime Routine

1. Morning Hair Care
- Remove Head Covering: Gently take off your satin skull cap, wave cap, loc soc or scarf.
- Style Your Twists: Shake your head to loosen your twists. Use your fingers to style your hair into the desired look. You’re ready to go!
- Need moisturizer: only use water. Place warm water in a spray bottle and lightly mist your twists to refresh the style

Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. Flaky Scalp
- Spray and Massage: If you notice a flaky scalp, lightly spray the affected area with water and gently massage it to loosen flakes and soothe the scalp.
- Spot Treatment Apply a small amount of anti-itch oil to the problem areas. Suitable oils include:
- Neem
- Tea tree
- Lavender
- Chamomile
- Frankincense
- Patchouli

Rod Set Separation Made Easy

The secret to a fluffy, defined rod set? Gentle separation + a little oil magic.

Before I separate the curls, I coat my hands with a lightweight oil (Mizani 25 Miracle Nourishing Hair Oil) to:
• Reduce frizz
• Add shine
• Keep each curl intact

No rushing, no pulling—just soft hands and patience. It’s all in the details.

One-on-One Natural/Textured Hair Styling Class

Teaching the art of textured hair care brings me so much joy! In this class, I worked hands-on with my student to show her how to properly detangle and create simple, manageable styles on her own.

I believe in breaking things down in a way that makes sense—no overwhelm, just real techniques, real tools, and all my favorite tips and tricks to help you care for every texture with confidence.

Because with the right education, anyone can learn to love and care for their crown.

Fighting Frizz at the Root

Frizz happens—but I have a method that works. When it comes to taming new growth on locs, I reach for my crochet needle.

This technique helps:
• Pull in loose hairs for a neat, uniform look
• Maintain shape between appointments
• Keep your locs looking fresh without over-tightening

It’s a gentle and effective way to fight fuzz while preserving your locs’ health.

From Shampoo to Stardom: Shamir’s Loc Journey

Let me walk you through this service—literally! I started with a deep shampoo, gently pushing Shamir’s locs between my fingers to break up sweat and buildup (because we don’t do crusty roots around here). Followed it up with a soothing conditioning scalp massage and a towel dry—because nobody wants to leave with soaking wet locs dripping down their back!

Interlock maintenance? Done.
Braided style? Secured.
Rubber bands? Snug, not choking—because we love the locs, not strangle them.

Shamir is a college, he’s also manifesting an acting career. So yes, this crown is red carpet AND classroom ready.

#LocCareWithLove #InterlockMaintenance #TowelDryAndThrive #CollegeBoundKing #FutureActorEnergy #HealthyLocsMatter #LocStylistLife #TexturedTouch

Why I Love Interlocking Locs

Interlocking is a game changer for my loc clients—and here’s why:

• Fast & efficient when you stay in your maintenance window
• Shampoo-friendly – no stress about your new growth unraveling
• Long-lasting – enjoy your style for 4+ weeks even with regular washes

It’s the clean, secure, low-maintenance lifestyle for me!

Starter Locs for My Brilliant Client, Siani
Meet Siani—intelligent, passionate, and ready to begin her loc journey! These photos capture day one of her two-strand twists, which will mature beautifully into locs over time.

Every appointment with Siani is filled with meaningful conversation, from her studies in African Studies to mental health in underserved communities. She’s not only growing locs, but also growing into a powerful voice for change.

Cheers to the beginning of something beautiful—inside and out.

Loc Styling Video Drop!
Watch this transformation unfold—starting with a deep shampoo, conditioning scalp massage, and interloc maintenance to keep the roots neat and strong. I finished with two-strand twists, knotted at the ends for a secure, elegant look, and topped it all off with decorative pieces for that extra flair. Healthy scalp, fresh maintenance, and a stylish finish—loc’d and loaded!

Client Spotlight: My Jazzy Girl Got Her Way!
She literally begged me to do her tape-in extensions—and y’all know I don’t say yes to just anyone! But we decided to have a little fun, and I’m so glad I agreed.

The install turned out flawless, and that color blend? Perfection.
It’s giving softness, bounce, and just the right amount of sass.

Thank you, Jazzy, for trusting me (and for not letting up)! You’re a whole vibe.
Tape-ins done right, with a touch of texture and a whole lotta love.

Patience is key when it comes to your loc journey, especially when you’re watching your locs grow and you’re ready for some serious length! 🌱 It can feel like they’re taking forever, but remember—locs are a marathon, not a sprint.

Each day, your locs are getting stronger, and the process of growth is just as important as the length. Trust the process, enjoy the journey, and celebrate the progress, no matter how slow it may seem. Keep in mind that healthy hair growth takes time, but those results will be worth every moment of patience!

And hey, don’t stress over those length checks—your locs will show you their beauty when they’re ready!

Preparing to co-teach a class is one of the most exciting parts of the journey! In October 2024, I had the privilege of assisting with a loc class in Philly, and let me tell you, getting ready to teach is pure joy. It feels like Christmas when all the boxes start arriving! 📦🎁

The best part? Being the point person for all the materials coming to my house. It’s like unwrapping a new adventure each time! Whether it’s hair products, tools, or class materials, I’m like a kid on Christmas morning—just without the wrapping paper.

Can’t wait to dive in and share everything with my students. Here’s to teaching, learning, and a whole lot of excitement (and boxes)! 🎉 #TeachingJourney #LocClassFun #ChristmasInOctober

Two Strand Twists: A Stylish Solution for Camouflaging Hair Concerns

If you’re dealing with areas of concern like hair thinning or hair loss, two strand twists can be a great option to help camouflage and enhance your natural beauty. Here’s why:
1. Disguise Thinning Areas: Twists provide coverage for thinning spots, giving your hair a fuller, more voluminous look.
2. Low Maintenance: Two strand twists protect your hair, reducing daily manipulation, which can lead to breakage and further thinning.
3. Versatile Styling: Twists are easy to style in different ways, allowing you to create looks that work for your specific hair needs.
4. Protective & Stylish: They not only help with areas of concern but also promote healthy hair growth by minimizing exposure to heat and styling stress.

Two strand twists are an excellent choice for those looking to add volume and confidence while protecting their hair. Embrace this versatile style and feel great in your natural beauty! 🌿✨ #HairCare #NaturalBeauty #TwoStrandTwists

Let’s talk loose textures.
When I’m working with a straighter hair canvas, my instinct is often to add volume, movement, and texture. Why? Because texture brings personality to any style—and it allows for more versatility, grip, and staying power.

As a stylist, it’s not just about what I like to create—it’s about understanding how to work with every texture, from coily to straight. Whether I’m adding waves, creating lift, or giving a sleek look some edge, textured styling is part of my artistry.

Every strand has a story—and I’m here to help it speak.

#TexturedTouchInc #TextureMatters #StylistLife #UnderstandingHair #VersatileStyling #HairWithPersonality #AllTexturesWelcome

Summer is coming—are you ready?
When the sun’s out and the days are longer, having a go-to versatile hairstyle is a must for our textured beauties!

This look right here features flat twists on the sides and back with two-strand twists in the front—fun, flirty, and full of options. Wear it out, pin it up, or accessorize it—this style can last up to 4 weeks with proper care. Perfect for vacations, weekend plans, or just living your best life in the heat.

Low maintenance, high impact.
Textured hair deserves styles that match your energy all summer long.

Book now and let your hair do the talking.

Avoiding Salon Trauma Starts with the Stylist

Let’s be real—salon visits should be healing, not harmful. As stylists, we have a responsibility to protect the client experience, especially when working with textured hair. Here are a few ways we can help avoid salon trauma:

• Be on time—and if you’re running behind, communicate.
• Set up your station before your client arrives to stay organized and on track.
• Treat textured hair with the care it deserves—no rough detangling or rushed styling.

It’s more than just hair. It’s trust, energy, and connection. Let’s keep it respectful.

#TexturedHairCare #SalonStandards #AvoidSalonTrauma #HealthyHairJourney #TexturedTouchInc

Thank you all so much for the outpouring of birthday love!
I truly appreciate every message, call, post, and thoughtful gesture. Your kindness and support mean the world to me—not just today, but every day.

Serving you all is an honor, and I’m so grateful to have such beautiful souls as clients who feel more like family.

I’m taking a little time to rest, reflect, and celebrate life, so I’ll be off until Thursday. I’ll respond to messages and appointment requests when I return.

Thank you for your patience and continued support—y’all are the real MVPs!

With love,

✨ Smiling Black ✨

Today, I had the absolute pleasure of servicing Brimere for the first time. From the moment he sat in my chair, his energy was light, his curls were full of life, and his smile—oh, his smile—was pure joy. As I shampooed, conditioned, detangled, and two-strand twisted his beautiful curls, I couldn’t stop thinking about how his smile carried the kind of warmth and brilliance that deserves to be celebrated.

It immediately brought to mind @weswimbo song Smile Black—a tribute to the beauty, power, and radiance of Black joy. Seeing Brimere’s confidence shine reminded me exactly why I do what I do—because textured hair care is more than styling. It’s about honoring our beauty, embracing our identity, and taking up space with pride.

To Brimere—thank you for allowing me to care for your crown today. And to WIZ—thank you for giving us an anthem that reminds us to smile boldly, love deeply, and embrace our magic unapologetically.

🖤 Keep Smiling Black.

Skip the Heat, Keep the Style: Dry Rod Sets Are In!

When it comes to achieving a smooth, stretched, and polished look without the flat iron, a dry rod set is the perfect alternative. I recently styled Zyana using this method, and the results were beautiful—full of body, bounce, and definition with zero heat damage.

Dry rod sets offer a soft, blown-out aesthetic while maintaining the integrity of your natural texture. It’s an ideal option for those wanting a straighter silhouette without compromising curl health.

Zyana walked out loving her look, and I love offering versatile options that prioritize healthy hair first.

Ready to switch it up? Let’s talk about whether a dry rod set is right for you.

Hair Goals: Activated!
Let’s talk about this almost tailbone-length masterpiece on my longtime friend and beautiful client, Ashleè! @naturally__ashlee

We’ve known each other since way back, and our friendship is one that’s filled with love, trust, and oh my goodness—so much laughter. We are the silliest together, but when it comes to hair care? We don’t play.

Ashleè is the definition of dedication. She maintains her hair with care and precision between every salon visit, and it shows! Her growth, strength, and length are a direct result of consistency, hydration, and intentional maintenance.

It’s always a joy to have her in my chair—not just because of the hair magic we create, but because it’s a reminder of how far we’ve come as friends and how powerful love and laughter can be when paired with a good deep conditioner!

Here’s to healthy hair and even healthier friendships.
Keep going, queen!

Sharing Good News
Today, I was reminded why I do this.

Jada came in after months of maintaining her own Microlocs—something she learned in a short class with me. But it wasn’t just her hair that stopped me in my tracks… it was her spirit.

She shared some incredible news that brought me to real, joyful tears right there in the salon. When I got home, I cried like a baby—grateful, overwhelmed, and in awe.

Being able to encourage my clients to follow their dreams is one thing, but hearing them say those dreams came true? Whew. That’s a blessing I’ll never take for granted.
#dreamsdocometrue #shemademecry #ilovegoodnews

When You Cheat on Your Stylist… and Come Back Needing CPR

So, my client couldn’t get an appointment with me and decided to see someone else — which, listen, I totally understand! I love collaborating with other stylists and believe there’s room for all of us in this industry.

BUT what grinds my gears is when my work gets taken hostage and returned to me like a bad group project — frizzy, broken, uneven, and crying for help.

Now, I don’t know if the damage came from the stylist… or the client playing kitchen beautician in between, but what I do know is this: I can’t keep cleaning up messes I didn’t create. It’s not fair to me, my schedule, or my shears (they’re traumatized, okay?).

Stylists aren’t magicians — we’re artists. And we take pride in our work. So when it’s tampered with or destroyed, especially without proper communication, it becomes a termination-worthy offense. No hard feelings, but I can’t protect your hair if you don’t let me.

Moral of the story? If you gotta cheat, please cheat respectfully — and don’t bring back broken edges asking for a miracle.

With love (and slightly frizzed-out feelings),
Your stylist who’s tired of doing hair rescue missions #dontdothisagain #iwasannoyed #dontfixwhataintbroke #somebodyhelpmeplease

Gentle Teaching in Action
Here’s a quick look at my gentle teaching technique—because learning something new can feel intimidating, especially with textured hair.

Reminder: Everyone sucks at new things in the beginning.
That’s why I lead with patience, repetition, and encouragement. Practice makes progress, and progress builds confidence.

I truly enjoy educating all kinds of people on textured hair care, especially future professionals. Cosmetology students—this one’s for you!

Let’s keep learning, growing, and making textured hair education the standard, not the exception.

Maintaining Microlocs with my client Jada is always a vibe! I love using my @enerlocks tool to keep her locs neat, strong, and flourishing. Consistency is key—and so is the right technique!

Palm coils will forever be one of my favorite styles! 😍✨ There’s just something about freshly shampooed, conditioned hair coming to life with each perfect coil. Using Mizani Curling Cream, I achieved this smooth, defined look that’s both stylish and protective. Who else loves a good coil set? 💛 #PalmCoils #HealthyHair #Mizani #TexturedTouchInc #DefinedCurls #ProtectiveStyling @Mizani

✨ Welcoming Crystal to Textured Touch Inc! ✨

Today, I had the pleasure of serving my new client, Crystal, for a loc consultation, crochet style, and trim—and what a delight she was! From the moment she sat in my chair, her positive energy was contagious, making the experience enjoyable for both of us.

Consultations are always an exciting part of the process because they allow me to understand each client’s hair journey, needs, and goals. Crystal came in ready to embrace her next steps with confidence, and I was happy to help her achieve a look she loves!

At Textured Touch Inc., every client receives personalized care, ensuring their hair is not only styled beautifully but also nurtured for long-term health.

Thank you, Crystal, for trusting me with your hair! I look forward to being part of your loc journey. ✨

I truly appreciate clients who trust me to take care of their hair, and it’s always special when a long-time friend sits in my chair. Dorian @herjourneyofficial came in after three years of embracing her curls, ready for a transformation.

For this appointment, I gave her hair the full treatment:
✨ @influancehaircare A deep cleanse with shampoo
✨ @influancehaircare A nourishing conditioning session with a steam treatment
✨ Gentle detangling
✨ @amika heat protectant before blow-drying
✨ @babyliss Flat ironing on a mid-to-high setting
✨ @tippishorter And finally, a much-needed trim/cut with my Textpert AIR Curved shears

I shaped her hair to highlight its length while keeping it healthy and full of movement. The end result? Sleek, refreshed, and ready to flourish!

If you’ve been holding off on a trim, take this as your sign—it makes all the difference!

Sanitation Matters: My Commitment to Clean Tools for Every Client

One of the most important steps in maintaining a professional and safe salon environment is proper sanitation. At Textured Touch Inc., cleanliness isn’t just a habit—it’s a non-negotiable standard.

After every client, I take the time to remove all hair from my tools and thoroughly wash every reusable item, including combs, brushes, clips, color bowls, and more, in warm, soapy water. From there, each tool is placed in a disinfectant solution for the recommended time to ensure it’s completely sanitized. After rinsing and drying, everything is ready for the next guest.

This process ensures that every client experiences a fresh, clean, and hygienic service. Proper disinfection not only upholds industry standards but also reflects the respect I have for my clients and their hair.

Clean tools. Healthy hair. Peace of mind. That’s the Textured Touch Inc. way.

I love It Here!!! Jekia is Amazing at what she does. She provides an educational fun experience every time and takes her time in explaining the hair journey you will have with her along with encouraging what your experience is with your hair. My daughter and I recently started our Loc journey and we are loving the experience!!!

Jekia has been my stylist since I began growing my locs. She is patient, always professional and detail oriented. Every appointment is a phenomenal experience that I look forward to.

Jekia is the best! She gives you so much more than a hair appointment. Jekia is a beautiful human being who offers a wealth of knowledge in & out of the salon. She has been flexible to my work schedule & has given me confidence for my fine thinning hair over the past 3 years.

Jekia is an amazing stylist. She is professional and accommodates people very well. She has improved my relationship with my hair and the cosmetology community, and I have and will follow her wherever she is. AMAZING and highly recommended

I found Jekia last minute and booked appointment before heading out of town. Hands down the BEST hair wash I’ve had since starting my loc journey over 7 years ago. Very friendly personality and great conversation. Fast Hands for sure. She even hooked my sister hair up and my sis had her laughing out loud the entire time. I love how my hair came out and I will definitely recommend Jekia to others and return as a client.

dana johnson

The best hair stylist for locs in the area. Jekia truly loves what she does and has a passion for teaching folks about their natural hair. I have been loc’d for a year and don’t trust anyone else for this journey. Highly recommend. No drama. Good vibes. A clean and welcoming space.
