Description
Psychologist, hair stylist, hair historian, and clinical therapist Afiya Mbilishaka, PhD, is here to talk about why hair (and caring for it) can be an entry point to mental-health services. She explains why hair is sacred in many cultures around the world, especially in some of the African cultures she’s studied. Plus: why hair loss can be so devastating; the importance of hair stylists in Black communities; how to have a better relationship with your stylist—and what’s really going on when someone gets breakup bangs. She also tells us about plans to expand her work thanks to a grant from Maui Moisture.Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/190191Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blogSponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.
