 One of the most Complaints for women with natural hair is moisture Right or the lack thereof So we have in our line how moisture miss moisture mist is formulated with caramel Avocado oil and shea butter's so that it moisturizes Immediately it also has some hydration and avocado oil is the one oil that penetrates the cuticle All right, so it's very very very important and very very beneficial to the hair So we have this moisture miss then You know sent is very important Especially I have allergies so I have to be very mindful of the type of So if you just feel it now you can actually feel the difference and the softness of the softness in the hair And hey, let's just let's go for the for the hair is good for the skin right so Let's just do it this way Yeah, that's really it feels really good and you see it has a natural shine Yeah, so you want you want a product that's going to Do more than one thing right here, so it moisturizes it softens it nourishes and it shines right Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself for my viewers who are not used to you there This is their first time even though you've been on my channel several times is like the fourth time Why don't you introduce yourself and I? I Am our left hander owning operator of hair locks by our let natural hair. Yes a lot I am 45 years In the industry and I'm also an award-winning stylist and I'm not the pioneer which means I have pioneered a hairstyle and also Have done things to Keep this industry Moving forward as you see it today So we when I started Natural hair care there was no social media We were basically in publication and you know just in the salons. I mean, what did you think of the pros and cons of? Natural hair that this had on social media has had on natural hair like people like me Influencers Well, the one thing I can say honestly is that you guys brought it to a whole nother level and a whole nother consciousness You know and I think that's absolutely amazing like I think social media is great Everyone is able to get information Give information and show off what they do One of the things that I think Just needs to happen is There needs to be more education because social media Highlights just what people do in terms of hair styling right instead of hair care instead of hair care and Especially for me because I'm a hair care I'd like everything has to start with hair care for me hair care scalp care skin care Like we were saying that most people do not consider their scalp as skin You know, so they don't take care of their scalp the same way they take care of their skin They take care of their hair and they're more concentrated on hair because hair is the focus, right? Particularly that's what social media. Yeah, that's what you can see up. That's what you can see up front So when people are having problems and issues no matter What and who they are It's mainly what the hair looks like it's not like the care of the air and it's getting Confusing on social media between hairstyle hair products and hair care So even with product sales, you know, everybody all the companies have gotten Become interested in Natural hair black women's hair products, you know, but no one it's mainly for styling right and People are looking for a quick fix. They're not looking for the techniques that Unnecessary to maintain or achieve natural hair. So I put my moisture mist in this. I promise you What made you decide to create your own hair care line what made me decide to do it was I was using a product line and That I no longer wanted to support because of changes in the company and so I was looking for a Line that I could that was comparable and I could use for my clients because I was very very extremely satisfied with what I was using and a client of mine who actually formulated my product came in and She suggested I was having that conversation and she suggested the line for me to have a line during my my Experience in natural hair I've encountered plenty of clients who have scalp issues itching dandruff Subarria dermatitis And so I wanted to address those issues So which would make my product something different or different than Anything that was out on the market. So would you say then that that's probably perhaps the one thing that you noticed that was missing from the Character industry itself is educational scalp caring. Yeah, healthy scalp healthy hair, you know, and so we're not just concentrating on just hair you have to have a good foundation so In my line, I wanted Products that soften the hair Immediately so that it will make easier detainment. And is that what you're using on my hair? I'm using the moisture mist. The most of this has a tooth. Oh, wow And this is my shrinkage. That's your shrinkage. Yeah ridiculous, but that's healthy hair. So that's okay, right? Because it has should be very it should always revert when moisture hits it, right? So the moisture mist Can be used. Oh my gosh, so many ways. Remember, this is a natural product line. Okay, so We're not using any chemicals. So everything is good for the skin hair and scalp So I always start with the detangling right the detangling process So for the detangling process, I like to use the moisture mist or The leave-in conditioner they both work as a great detangler Okay, so it just depends on what your hair texture is So if you have a softer hair texture, the leave-in conditioner Would work. I mean even for a 4c texture the leave-in conditioner and As you can see I got through her hair without this is what I pride myself on detangling without any hair Yeah, right now. I'm going to also Use the leave-in conditioner. Okay, the leave-in conditioner Can also I have it in a little Okay, can I touch that? Oh it smells good too. My hair is really soft. It feels really soft Now we're gonna put the leave-in cuz we could also use a leave-in. Okay, so a leave-in the leave-in Is a little thicker Than the moisture mist. It has cocoa butter. It has cocoa butter. Okay It has cocoa butter. So Yeah Hi, this is our let and this is hair locks a system for natural hair Our hairline is a core hair care line So which means that we basically just focusing on skin hair and scalp so the product line is formulated to use be used as a system and Each product benefits the other our hair care line is formulated with chamomile calendula avocado oil Sesame seed oil and bamboo extract so our shampoo our moisturizing shampoo is a sulfate free shampoo It is formulated with Chamomile as a main ingredient to help soothe irritated scalp and reduce flaking and it helps calm dandruff We formulated this product for the scalp and the hair and the skin Just to ensure that we provide a healthy scalp Our next product is the moisturizing conditioner our conditioners formulated with calendula It soothes irritated scalp.

It's a nourishing scalp elixir. It is so So amazing elixir is infused with avocado oil Sesame seed oil sunflower oil Castor oil and calendula extract so one thing I noticed miss orlet is that you don't have any styling products It seems to be more cleansing products. Why did you start with? Cleansing products as opposed to your traditional stylers. Well, you know Vivian I am a hair care stylist So my main focus is the care of the hair and the scalp Okay So when I decided to formulate a product in a product line for my clients and or Haircare wearers, I wanted to focus on hair care first because that's really really important, right in terms of after Haircare become styling, right? so What I'm noticing in my practice is that a lot of people they jumping to the styling product, right? But they haven't really coined a hair care regimen So I thought that it was important now in this whole natural hair world of hair styling right and Just to to concentrate on hair care first and making sure that Clients hair care wearers Consumers are consuming a product that is definitely geared to Caring for their scalp keeping the scalp healthy keeping the hair strands strong and the hair follicle nourished and Moisture moisture right moisture, you know And so even with the hair care line You also have to have good hair care practices, right and some of that is Absolutely concerning trimming trimming split ends is the biggest That's targeted towards me a little bit, but not really, but I'm just saying, you know Particularly for 4c hair wearers, right? Right 4c is considered the finest of all textures even though it's dense. So All too often 4c hair is going to split, right? Yeah, even that much quicker So we want to make sure that when we're talking about health hair health scalp health and Dryness in hair. Mm-hmm. We want to make sure that the ends are trimmed right because in my practice I do many many many consultations, right and the most Complaint is I need my hair to have more moisture. Mm-hmm, right and right away. I will say touch your hair. Let me see How you Can tell or determine that you need moisture and most people touch the ends They don't go inside the scalp order, right? Okay, so when the ends are split, they're gonna feel dry That's right. Yeah, they don't mm-hmm. Okay, they can do okay I really do appreciate that you are passionate about ensuring that you know Everyone has a foundation of healthy hair care as opposed to jumping right into stylers because I find now especially as a content creator Everyone's looking for the best new styler to help to have the big and twist out but for when I'm understanding It really doesn't matter as much as as the styling product as opposed to that foundation You sit with having a healthy hair and having a healthy regimen And ensuring that you are consistent with your regimen too. Absolutely. Okay, absolutely And so hair care to have a core hair care line is shampoo Conditioner leave ends Moisturizing and oils, okay, and they all are to benefit the scalp first Scout first, right? Yeah, and then the hair strands to make them strong as I stated earlier and everything to soften Right, like your hair should not feel greasy. Hmm, right. Mm-hmm. It should feel like hair Just alive, right, right, so the oils and the butters that are used in this product line They are formulated to do just that. Okay. Okay, then and I did notice and I will clock my own tea y'all that when she was Actually blowing out my hair. It took her it was a challenge You know for her to get through my hair because my split ends are not so great right now So, you know to her point if I would have been properly taking care of my split ends and ensuring that my hair is Properly cut then she wouldn't have been having a hard time So and then I want what I want you guys to understand that products do not mend split ends Split ends need to be trimmed off and if you stay on a good hair care regimen, okay, you wouldn't have to Clip your ends as often right healthy hair once the hair is healthy and the split ends are off You only have to clip your ends or trim once a season So in Arizona it's twice a year on the east coast It's four times a year, right? You know so And then the other thing I want to just make very clear is that as long as you're manipulating your hair You're going to get split ends. Okay. All right. So just to kill that whole myth Right what product you use to make your hair Healthy healthy or grow or something. Yeah is also due to regimen, right? Yeah And healthy hair practices. So hair care line And healthy practices right combined that makes a lot of sense. Okay. Thank you for that One thing y'all that she also asked me why she's doing my hair. She's just like a hair doctor While she's doing my hair. She asked me Do you save the the back of your hair for less and I can't lie because you can tell that my So I tend to detangle first in the front and then towards the back So how could you tell that I saved the back of my hair because it was just Yeah, so so what happens is if you don't if you don't detangle your hair often Especially particularly with foresee hair. It tends to join together a little bit And it gets a little bit more tangly. Okay. So, I mean I'm a hairstylist This is what I do day in and day out. It doesn't take much for me to be able to Asutain right is going on in the hair or on the on my client's head Head as a whole But what I do want to also add is detangling is essential To hair care proper detangling like if you're getting a lot of hair in your comb You are not detangling properly as I stated to Vivian and we always have these conversations This is not the first time but we always talk about Being positive to the hair When you when you're going down to or well sitting down to your hair care regimen, you know Be very very very positive Be patient right because natural hair is not easy, right? Yeah, and there's no product That is chemical free That will get you through your hair easily So you want to know that a product line As such as mine. I made particular Particularly sure that my product line was chemical free and all natural. Okay, uh and Sulfate free right for my shampoo rooms. So this way You're not going to it's not The miracle thing that you're going to put on right. Yeah, and automatically it's just what you do with the product Also, correct. Yeah, okay, and when you're using a good product your hair should be naturally um It just should perform naturally Okay, it's not something you shouldn't have to you you shouldn't have to work hard It's you know if the product is working as it should you shouldn't have to do more than it's intended to It's into the purpose. Okay, or it's spec for it to do. Okay. Yeah job for you, right? So the whole thing about natural hair With product use is a good product And a great technique and a regimen It's really important I know it's because honestly and I will say this I think that You have done my hair several times But every time I come here I have a problem my split ends And if I have been taking care of my split ends properly, this was three years ago You were telling me this I my hair would have been a lot longer. It would have been Contrary to popular belief clipping your ends Will make your hair grow But remember that our hair grows out like a tree It doesn't grow down right so density Is more important than length right because if you're short around your edges And you keep a hair care regimen And even like you Vivian your hair is extremely thick and dense But your hair would be denser If you keep your ends. Yeah, because my edges were your edges. Yeah, right. They're shorter. So they're they're things like twist outs twists are amazing for hair Care and hair growth and just a good style You know to be put in just to hold it down and keep it healthy and help it growing So once you get your density, then you'll get your length, right? Okay But more people most people are concerned with length, right? And so they don't want to clip their split ends and they want a product to do it Well a product can enhance So that's what this product is supposed to do. It is designed to enhance Okay, so tell us about you know when to expect these products. Um, is there pre-ordering available right now? Oh, no, they're online. Oh, okay shop dot hair locks h a ir l o k s Okay, by b y r let a r l e t t e dot com Or you could just go to the hair locks by our let dot com website and click on there They're available for purchase right now and once we Get the ball rolling on the core hair care guys Please take care of your hair, right?

It's like building a house You got to make sure you know that foundation you can have a beautiful windows beautiful towel But if the foundation is the house is going to crumble so absolutely I understand that and just that use that theory about your hair your health All of that stuff that the foundation has to be deep right right to get a tall building, right? So if you want long hair, you know what you gotta do. I know what I gotta do You're not just you your viewers, you know, and you know, you're gonna hear people Say, oh no, I don't have to do much to my hair And that's all fine. Well, the good because everybody is different right But also coming from a stylist perspective and by the way y'all she has I've been telling people I go to someone who has 20 years. She has more years. Well, I did the math and it's 45 45 You know 45 and she looks 45 it's 45 years and My main concern is hair care and scalp care like I have clients who come in with itchy scalp and scalp issues And so right I formulated once I decided that I was going to have a product line Which I fought for years, right? But then when I formulated I tested I tested for months and months on my clients Who have a scalp issue right right and it it's becoming better and better It's calming. They're not itching is right now. This is not the quick fix We are not doctors or dermatologists, right? Yeah, and so I do suggest that you if you have a scalp issue that you go to the dermatologist, right and get it checked out medically But on the other hand, you know having a product line that has essential butters and The chamomile if you look it up right in any of my anti a lot of your ingredients are anti inflammatory So this is what this is what my focus is. Okay, just to bring the best to you guys What I want for myself is what I want to do and I want you to wear shirts to say my hair is beautiful, right?
