Kinky Beginnings

A little girl with magic hands, Safiya created ingenious style for all and sundry: family, friends and sometimes even strangers. Sunday mornings were a loving ritual of freshly washed hair and ‘China bumps’ (also known as Bantu knots) styled while Safiya sat at one of the many women in her family knees. Safiya’s aunts, cousins and sister friends wore curly afros, relaxed hair and extensions. No doubt these styles made an impression.

When she was old enough to style others’ hair, cornrows and plaits were the styling choices back in the day when a 10 year old girl crafted unique hairstyles under the watchful eye of her beloved grandmother. “Your hands are blessed,” her grandmother always said. Blessed because of the impact an old woman sensed lay deep within a child who seemed to channel gifts from elders of yesteryear.

As a teen, Safiya’s ever-changing muse meant long hours practicing on her own hair. It was routine for her cousin to chase the young hairstylist out of the bathroom because Safiya’s experimentation usually coincided with the times her cousin wanted to use the mirror. By then, Safiya had expanded from natural hairstyling to relaxers and weaves. But a career in hair care was never her goal. “I’ve always enjoyed styling hair, but I had aspirations to have a corporate career.”

Natural hair is where it all began for Safiya. Natural hair, natural beauty; an almost foreign concept to too many. Relaxed hair, weaved hair. It’s all beautiful and Safiya recognized that simple — yet often overlooked — fact.

Safiya’s philosophy on hair? Taking care of your hair, taking care of you!

So why Kinky Kreations? “Why not? It’s about celebrating your hair — however you choose to wear it,” Safiya says.

A Kinky Kreations Equation:

                                         if consciousness = naturalness,
                                         then naturalness = self beauty

                                         self beauty = Exactly who are!

But, do you have to be “conscious” to wear natural hair? The answers are as vast as the people who attempt to answer the question. Kinky Kreations says, choose your own philosophy. Ours is about loving your hair, whether it’s kinky, processed or otherwise altered. In the end you are being naturally you!
