EPISODE SUMMARY

This podcast is dedicated to celebrating the journey of black women to embrace their natural hair, with our host, Lisa. E, aka Natural Born Sistah,, who inspires black women to groom and confidently flaunt their natural hair.

In this episode with Lisa E, a Natural Hair Enthusiast, she is talking about premature graying at a young age. She talks about her issues with premature graying of her hair and the possible medical reasons for its early arrival. She is talking about her life experience in dealing with gray hair. As Lisa emphasizes, the color of your hair shouldn't determine your beauty and style. Be creative because gray hair can be just as sexy as if it was dyed. Don’t allow society to determine when you should be gray, allow nature to take its course.

Lisa has been graying since in her twenties and has recently come out with her gray the same time she did with being natural. She rather wear her hair the color it is, instead of taking chances with chemicals that can ruin her health. She will also share with you how important it is to know what you are putting in your hair/scalp when trying to reverse nature with chemicals.
