Hair passion ignites natural hair movement
By Sherrell Dorsey, My Salon Scoop writer
"I can almost tell what's going on with someone, or what's going on in their lives when I touch their hair," says Felicia Leatherwood, celebrity natural hairstylist. "If they aren't eating healthy, if they are depressed or stressed out, the hair tells everything. I can see people's hurt in their hair."
Part stylist, part therapist, Leatherwood is often the listening ear women need to expel their problems and get some help nurturing their hair.
"I'm a service person," she says. "I like making people feel good about themselves even if it means listening to their problems and how much relief they feel knowing that someone is supporting them on this new journey."
Actress Kim Coles calls her the hair whisperer. And Coles isn't the only celebrity who feels this way. Leatherwood's celebrity client list includes Jill Scott, Will Smith, Anthony Anderson and Sanaa Lathan. For several decades, Leatherwood, a Los Angles native, has used her talents as a stylist to empower, uplift and nurture both men and women.
Now, she uses a microphone to host natural-hair workshops in major U.S. cities to help spread her special brand of "hair health" to the masses. Her main thrust? Reintroduce women of color to their natural hair while helping them embrace their own unique beauty.
