- Where do you live and what do you do?

I live in Miami, FL, and I do freelance social media, content creation, art direction. I'm a bartender at a craft beer/wine bar, and I'm starting a lil pottery studio soon.

- How would you describe your hair?

Depending on the day—beach waves or lion's mane due to humidity! 

- How does your hair make you feel?

My hair is my #1 accessory, it makes me feel more confident (on a good hair day!). It used to hide the insecurities of my body but now it only enhances my body! 

- Have you always felt this way about your hair or has it changed over time?

I’ve always had a love for my hair, but I don’t think I started appreciating it or taking as good care of it until this year / quarantine.

- What is your current hair care routine?

My haircare routine is really simple: Crown Affair brush before shower, shampoo / conditioner  (still working on finding a good match for my hair in this realm). When it's wet, I comb to get the knots out, use The Towel, apply The Oil, and let it air dry. At night I normally just give it a few brush strokes when it’s dry. I'm happy to say my hair care routine now consists of 99% Crown Affair products and I can’t ever go back.

- What daily rituals (outside of haircare) do you lean into the most?

Take things slow, don’t rush the mornings, do things for myself, skincare & haircare routine is important, sweat once a day, read, paint, write, call my friends and family, cook something new 1/2x a week.

- How have your rituals changed since stay-at-home began?

Prior to this I didn’t take rituals as seriously—I didn’t take my time as much or give myself enough love. I was always out and about or on the go, but since stay-at-home I've realized how important they really are to keep grounded and stable. These little moments are so special.
