Traditionally, the salon business in the United States  has been a segregated one. And while stylists at salons in the Black community performed braids, twists, weaves, relaxers, and silk presses on a daily basis, most white stylists had little or no knowledge of textured hair. In the past few years this has been changing, with more beauty schools providing and requiring texture education. Textured hair is increasingly visible in the media, more women are choosing natural styles, and more children are being born with mixed heritage. But our industry still has a long way to go. Want to learn about texture but don't know where to start? We've got you covered. Today's guest, Jamal Edmonds, is the owner and creative director of Lamaj in the City, located in Washington D.C. He's a stylist behind the chair and an educator for Mizani and Redken, specializing in textured hair. Jamal has been nominated for NAHA awards in 2018, 2021, and 2022.

Why I had to choose my hair over my acting career W/ Shalita Grant An actress since High School, Tony- nominated Shalita grant publicly quit a popular long standing Television show after suffering from traction alopecia, thinning hair and breakage in front of an audience of millions. Holywood's tendency to ignore the needs of actors with textured hair meant that Shalita faced daily hair practices and techniques that caused severe long term damage to her own hair. The producers did not understand or provide for the complex needs of her hair and this put limitations on her career.She also faced backlash and trolling online when she tried to wear a wig to minimise further damage to her own hair. At the time, she could see no other option than to quit the show.After overcoming her own obstacles, she created the Four Naturals treatment to renew, restore and rebuild her hair, which is now in the best condition and more manageable than its ever been. This meant that her public and traumatic hair experience has not had to lead to her abandoning acting or hiding her hair forever. She chose to heal, both inside and out, and is now finding ways to be able to be on set with her own natural hair.InstagramFacebookFour Naturals Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Connect with Hair therapy: Facebook Instagram Twitter Clubhouse- @Hair.Therapy Donate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert!
