Top 25 GLOBAL Stylist?? Still feels so unreal 💫🥹

Meeting stylist from all over the world was such a surreal moment. I met stylist from Puerto Rico, Arizona, New Jersey, and Italy.. one thing we all have in common is the love for hair styling. It truly is a community filled with such amazing and kind people! I started my company four years ago and I never imagined the awards, recognition, and accomplishments that would come along with it. It truly is such an honor! To any stylist just starting out, keep pushing yourself. The restless nights, endless content, marketing, and hard work will pay off! Never stop believing in yourself and your artistry! I cannot thank my clients, family, and my BTU Team enough for the endless love, support, and for always cheering me on. We’re just getting started! 🫶🏼

I cannot thank Mary Rector & Kevin Givens enough for not only all the laughs, but for the education, encouragement, and words that every stylist needs to hear. We truly are our own biggest critics, but that’s also what continues to push us every day to grow, create, and become better. There’s no hate or competition here, just love, support, and respect for ALL stylists! We all have something special to bring to this industry! ✨

We love a sweet summer lovin ✨😍

My KEY products I almost always use in this style?

- Dry Wax Spray
This is great for helping with smoothness, flyaways and a little bit of hold. 🤌🏼

- Raise The Root
This helps not only with volume, but also adds that extra texture at the root allowing bobby pins to grip more securely while teasing and creating the twist. 🤝🏼

Me and a clean updo 🤭🤝🏼

Prep products make or break a style, so I wanted to share exactly what I used to create this low, soft updo and why! ✨

- Raise the Root
This is a staple in my kit! This not only gives amazing volume throughout the style, but also gives an airy texture that can create beautiful soft styles.

- Volume Up
This is another staple in my kit that, gives an amazing texture, but also a little bit of hold! It is a water base, so unless you are doing a more controlled style this is an automatic prep only product.

- Magic Dust
This is a great product when trying to fluff out any twist for your styles, has amazing hold but make sure to not over use this product. It can tend to weigh the hair down!

- Round Brush Set
I cannot rave about her round brushes enough! They help me take control of the hair and really keep the tension throughout the blow drying process!
