Note #11

Hello,

As we come to a close with UK Black History Month, I wanted to share something I teased in last week’s note - Beyond the Set: Session Hair Artists. The series is available to watch on YouTube or listen to on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Developed in partnership with Celebraids, this captivating series dives into the world of hair artistry, highlighting the remarkable work of hair artists and experts who cater to Black and textured hair.

‘Beyond the Set: Session Hair Artists’ puts the spotlight on the world of hair styling for textured specialists, with insightful conversations that delve into the art, culture, and expertise behind creating stunning hair designs around the world in entertainment, fashion, and music. This series offers a unique and much-needed platform for these talented artists to share their stories, experiences, and the secrets behind their craft.
