Cate
Cate used every relaxer under the sun from at the age of 13-25. While in law school she eventually settled on using Japanese straightening to remove her natural waves “It ruined my hair!” she says.

As a new mom to a beautiful... Read More

Not ready for the “big chop” right away Angela brought up the length to where Yokairy was comfortable but the relaxer wasn’t all out Angela showed her how to diffuse the ends to bring the bounce back into her ends. 10 weeks later she was ready for more so Angela took off the rest of the relaxer. Its... Read More

After learning about curly cuts, primers and using a gel properly and I have soft looking curls and no frizz !! I’m very... Read More
