"I've been using social isolation as a time to learn about my hair in all of it's different stages, from freshly washed and conditioned, juicy coils to it's drier, day 3, 4, 5+ texture. Like many, I've taken a break from heat and more trendy protective styles and have been using the time I'd spend at the salon getting a press or braids to experiment with and perfect a wash day routine, including products to use the day before a wash.
As a person who loves having her edges laid, and who takes out any protective style the moment it begins to 'grow out,' this quarantine period has also allowed me to worry less about what my hair looks like and simply focus on it's health in a way I've never taken the time to do before. The extra time I've found by not having a daily commute is now used to research and diagnose my hair type as well as finding oils and potions that I can DIY now that beauty supply stores are all closed. As for how my hair's been styled, it's wrapped up under layers of silk and satin head scarves." — Brittni Rhoden, senior workplace specialist at Group Nine Media
