Hair color is just an expression of something different that you want to have, or something creative.
When I was a barber, me being extreme was how I got popular: you name it, I was drawing it on someone's head.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to dye my hair crazy colors.
For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.
Particularly for back-to-school, braids are a great way of showcasing your personal style. It doesn't stop at your clothes; it extends to how you wear your hair.
I got my hair braided at this event once, and when I got the pictures back from it, I just became obsessed with them. They're kind of my thing now.
And all the zig-zags and lines in my hair? I used to do that myself. I just thought it was cool that you could actually do that with your hair.
I think braids over all allow you to play with your identity a little bit and just have some fun and show off your creativity.
I love braids and just generally playing around with different hairstyles, especially for festivals and photoshoots.
I've had watermelon hair where I had pink with green tips. From the age of 13 to about 19 or 20, I never had my real hair color.
