Dana at For The Curlture

I know some stylists don’t like the curl chart, and I get why.

The curl chart doesn’t tell us your density, porosity, strand diameter, elasticity, or even how much hair you have. Those things matter when creating a healthy hair care plan.

But here’s the thing…

Most clients don’t speak in terms of porosity or follicle anatomy. They know their hair as “3B,” “4A,” or “4C.”

So instead of dismissing the curl chart, I use it as a starting point.

For example, Type 4 hair is coily. It typically grows from a highly curved, flattened (oval/elliptical) hair follicle, which causes the hair to form tight coils as it grows.

The curl chart isn’t the whole story, but it is a helpful way to start the conversation. From there, we can talk about the characteristics that actually determine how your hair should be cared for.

Education should meet people where they are, then take them further.

I love the progress we’ve made. Trusting someone with your hair, but also trusting the process makes for some great experiences.

Taking my time setting up the suite. It’s a corner unit & I don’t want it to feel off while I’m working. I want a comfy & clean work space free of clutter.

I’m thinking no paint, but curtains instead.
Green, orange, sand, & brown (I love earth tones)
I took the dryer chair out & dry clients from the styling chair
(I rarely have overlapping appointments)
Finally got a fridge
Picked up nespresso coffee (that was a whole experience)
coffee flavors:NOLA, Vanilla decaf, Pistachio, Yuzu, & Reg espr

I need lamps because BIG lights aren’t gonna cut it for me

I’m not sure if my bowl is leaking & needs to be re-caulked but it’s something dripping under my sink
Doing my best to not complain but have gratitude over everything, perfection doesn’t exist in this system of things.

Lastly can we talk about all the fees that are required to run a business in Florida?! Like how much more money do you want from me? Golllllly

I found a new combo. Considering it’s been raining so much. We have to fight humidity some how. I don’t personally like I create curl memory on my hair, I did like the results on higher density hair.

Don’t make doing your hair a big chore. It’s very simple, & typically you will follow these same steps weekly.

After 7-10 days I do shampoo my braids, towel dry, reapply leave in, & oil

I usually rebraid with my hairdress a day or two after I shampoo it.

These braids are from when I was in Houston. This is my summer style all 2026

To anyone faces adversity in whatever form it takes. The storm comes, sometimes even destroying many things you worked hard to build. Don’t be afraid, Jehovah promises he will grab hold of your right hand. Jehovah promises he will make you strong. Jehovah promises he will give you the strength beyond what is normal. He doesn’t say he will remove every stumbling block from before us. However Jehovah promises how will train us in how to weather any storm. Keep seeking first his kingdom, and all these “other things” will be added to you. Dont give up your break through is coming and this storm is building your faith in Jehovah and refining your character. Keep going & grow through what you go through

I will choose finger coils over rods any day, it’s my personal preference. Finger coils can be separated like a rod set, or left on to start a loc journey. But I love finger coils as a protective style too. To me coils look best when they match the diameter (width) of your natural curl size. So if you have wavy hair your coils will be bigger. If your curls are tight like a coil you will get smaller finger coils, & so forth.
