My Backstory And How Hair Became A Thing For Me After I Was Teased About My Short Hair By My Friends’ Mother

I was about 6 or 7 years old when the trajectory of my relationship with my hair changed forever. My mother had just finished styling my hair, and I felt beautiful. I loved how it looked—soft, pressed, and curled just right. Excited, I went outside to play with a friend, and we stopped by her house. It was there that her mother, out of nowhere, began to laugh and tease me about my short hair.

"Look at Rene’ and her little short hair," she mocked.

I was crushed. I cried hysterically and ran home to my mother. Though she comforted me, something within me had already shifted. That day planted a seed of insecurity deep in my heart. I became hyper-aware of my short, sandy-red, spongy hair—and I felt like it wasn’t enough.

From then on, I obsessed over everyone’s hair—mine, hers, his, theirs. My mom did her best, greasing my scalp and braiding my hair in chain-braids. But I longed for manageability, length, and beauty that seemed effortless for others.

As a young woman, I covered my hair with scarves, hats, wigs—anything to hide what I thought wasn’t good enough. I didn’t realize it then, but I was suffering from **low hair-esteem** rooted in that childhood trauma.

Years later, during a group session where we had to recount past traumatic experiences, that moment with my friend’s mother came flooding back. That one memory had shaped so much of how I viewed myself. That was the day I began to reclaim my story.

I experimented with braids—sometimes sitting for hours, even days, to finish a head full of long, individual braids. I began to visualize myself loving my natural hair. Eventually, I started dreadlocks by braiding my own hair and letting it grow naturally. That decision brought me a sense of freedom and joy.

One day at a cultural festival, I saw two women wearing the most beautiful micro-braid-like locks I had ever seen. They introduced me to Sisterlocks™. I was immediately captivated.

As a young wife and mother of four at the time, I couldn’t afford the luxury of a Sisterlocks installation. I took on more braiding clients, picked up side hustles, even tried network marketing—but still, the money slipped away due to household needs.

Then, I got a job offer to work in a salon over 50 miles from home. I was gaining momentum—until I was in a car accident that totaled my vehicle. Clients still traveled to me, even from miles away, but it took me a whole year to finally save enough money to get my Sisterlocks™.

And when I did—it changed everything.

Becoming a Sisterlocks™ Consultant

I loved my hair so much that I became a Certified Sisterlocks™ Consultant. I followed every rule—used only their products and educated my clients accordingly.

But around my one-year loc anniversary, I noticed my hair and scalp were incredibly dry and itchy. I followed the rules to the letter, yet I was suffering.

When I called the home office, I was told there had been a formula change and a recall on the batch I had purchased. The damage was done. My hair was dull. My scalp felt raw. I was torn between loyalty to the brand and doing what was best for me.

The Birth of Beautiful Hair Products®

God gave me a vision.

He showed me which natural oils, herbs, and ingredients would soothe my scalp and nourish my hair—without compromising my locks. I created my first small batch of moisturizing products in my kitchen.

The results were miraculous. My scalp healed. My hair became hydrated. There was no buildup. I hadn’t ruined my locks after all.

I shared these formulas with family and clients. They loved them. I launched a website, and soon I was shipping Beautiful Hair Products® to women around the world.
