‘Blogmas’ day 10 πŸŽ„: Small Business Christmas Gift Ideas 2021 | Beauty Edition (part 2)

Hey Loves, only 2 more posts to go after this and that’s the end of ‘blogmas’. I can’t thank you enough for sticking it out with me. Just a reminder, these posts are NOT SPONSORED. I hope you will connect with some of these small, independent businesses and brands. There is so much hard work that goes on ‘behind the scenes’ when starting out on your own and it can be tough carving out your space in the wild world of business, so let’s support and encourage these fantastic services, not only at Christmas but beyond! We are back to beauty today, so enjoy! Days 1-9 of ‘blogmas’ are all below this post.


Naosheas @naosheas– When someone has rocked every hairstyle, length, and colour imaginable (and that’s not an exaggeration) then you gotta know they have hands that will lovingly care for your mane. Naosheas is the loctician with the healing, growing hands your crown has been longing for. Naomi is a highly entrusted and experienced professional who has an innate gift for caring, styling and maintaining locs. You have but to look at her own beautiful locs to see her talent and passion up close. Her clients quickly become ‘family’ because of the love she exudes naturally as a person, and the tenderness she enthuses into your crown. Whether you’re contemplating locs, just starting out, or in need of someone to reinvigorate your existing locs, no-one is gonna help you embrace the journey like Naosheas. And she isn’t keeping all the tricks of the trade to herself, she wants to teach YOU how to look after your crown and/or even start your own loctician business. Don’t you just love that? If you didn’t love her already (like are you ok?) then let me tell you of a true story involving this Queen. When my hair fell out many, many moons ago, and I had to go Halle Berry short (long story) Naomi, cut off all of her beautiful hair to support me. If that isn’t love then I don’t know what is… that’s the connecting power of hair. She is my sister from another mister and the best loctician there is. Check out her beautiful gallery of smiling loc’d clients here including a selection of her homemade natural products. Be sure to contact her for more information on her services and products- she’s in huge demand!
