Revamped Studio Salon

I used to use grocery bags as shower caps on a regular basis 😭 We really didn’t spend money on shower caps back then, so this grocery bag method is nothing new 😂🛍️

I swear I always come back to this loc style 😭 just two front locs tied in the back and somehow it always works. Simple, comfortable, quick, and still cute every single time. Sometimes the easiest styles really become your signature look 🤎

I went from having a bald spot to finally seeing new growth… and I’ve been consistent with my natural hair routine.

In this video, I’m using my homemade hair growth oil and testing pumpkin seed oil on one side. Pumpkin seed oil has been studied for its potential to support hair growth because it may help block DHT (a hormone linked to hair loss).

This is not an overnight fix — just real results from consistency, scalp care, and paying attention to what works.

I’m going to keep documenting this so we can really see the difference over time.

I realized I do this same style every time I wear my hair in mini twists, locs, or single braids…

If you wear twists, locs, or braids… you probably have that one go-to style too 😭
Oh by the way….. my mini twists tutorial is on YouTube ➡️Tola Revamps

this isn’t just about making oil…
it’s about understanding why your hair isn’t responding the way you want it to

a lot of people are layering products but still dealing with dryness, breakage, and no real growth
sometimes it’s not the products… it’s that your scalp isn’t being properly nourished

infusing oils with herbs allows the oil to actually carry nutrients that support your scalp and hair over time
and once I started focusing on that… my whole routine changed

this is just one small part of me learning what my hair actually needs instead of guessing

Not me having a “I don’t like it” phase every single time… just to love it in the end 😭

I had a bald spot… and this is my growth so far.

I’ve been consistent with my homemade hair oil, and I’m now incorporating pumpkin seed oil to see if it makes a difference.

Both oils are known to support scalp health — pumpkin seed oil may help block DHT (a hormone linked to hair loss), while my DIY oil helps nourish and moisturize my scalp.

This is just the beginning… I’m documenting everything.

Using this applicator bottle from Amazon made applying my flaxseed gel so much easier. It helps control the mess during application. The gel is super slippery, and this applicator bottle goes exactly where I need the product to go.

Flaxseed gel adds slip for easier detangling and leaves my hair soft and moisturized.

Honestly… this works way better than conditioner for me. I always apply it before shampooing.

I found an old package from my salon days…
the business I never started.

Inside were bundle labels for a hairline I was planning to launch called Authentic Strands. I had everything ready — the vendor, the branding, the vision.

But before I could move forward, I had a dream where God told me to leave hair alone and focus on finishing nursing school. So I listened… I closed my salon and never even opened this package.

And honestly… I have zero regrets.

I love being a nurse, and I’m proud of the discipline it took to finish school. Doing hair came naturally to me, but school challenged me in a way that forced me to grow.

Now life has come full circle. I’m stepping back into hair while still being a nurse… which was the plan all along.

Proof that what’s meant for you will always find its way back 🤍

Hey guys, it’s shampoo day 🫧
Detangled, washed, and installed my kinky curly U-part wig from UNice ✨

I’m not gonna lie… I didn’t love the curl pattern straight out the box. But after finger coiling, it gave the hair so much more definition and completely changed the look 😍

Now I’m actually in love with how it turned out 💕

Sometimes you just gotta work with the hair a little to bring it to life 🤎
