Victoria Odom Capstone

Victoria Odom


The goal of my capstone is to show the expression of natural hair I want to share hairstyle ideas with other aspiring naturals.


Abstract


The initial inspiration behind my hair website is the beauty I use to see in natural hair. Viewing others with long curly hair inspired me to go natural myself and from that day on I have been. Although I have always had curly hair it was unhealthy and damaged but research was key for me to get my hair to the health state it’s in now. Today I see more and more women and even some men rocking their natural hairstyles and that encouraged me to share that with others.
