Hey you!🫵🏾 Come here… I wanna tell you something.

It’s POPCORN SEASON 🍿😭😩🤣👀

My main man Keston @kess2tuff is raising funds for his basketball 🏀 team and we need your help! 🙏🏽
I know you don’t want to buy another bag of popcorn (me either) but now’s not the time to be reasonable. We need you!

You can support by buying popcorn with the link in my bio, share the post, or DM me for Direct donations. 🫶🏾✅

Wish they would bring back car washing 🧼 and grass cutting 🌱 for the kids. Or someone come up with something new we can use. 🧐😏
I digress… help your boy out if you can. 🫶🏾🏀⛹🏾‍♂️

#Kess2Tuff ⛹🏾‍♂️

24 years. ❤️

Looking back through these old pictures today reminded me that somehow, through every high, every low, every uncertainty and every unexpected turn… things have a way of working out exactly how they’re supposed to.

Today, I’m choosing gratitude over anxiety about tomorrow. God has carried me this far, and these pictures remind me just how many incredible people have been part of that journey.

Some of these relationships go back the entire 24 years. And this collage is only the beginning—there are MANY more pictures and memories to come! 😂 So if you don't see yourself yet, trust me… we're just getting started.

And I want to hear YOUR stories. If Hair Elements Products has touched your career or your life somewhere along these 24 years, DM me a picture, a short video, or just tell me your story. I want to celebrate this anniversary with the people who helped make it possible.

24 years later, I’m still here. Still creating. Still learning. Still grateful.

And maybe that's exactly how it was supposed to be. ❤️🙏🏾

24 YEARS OF BEAUTY. INNOVATION. IMPACT. LEGACY. ❤️

When I look through these pictures, I don't just see hair shows, stages, products, educators and clients.

I see 24 years of a journey.

The ups and downs. The wins and losses. The doors that opened, the ones that closed, the times I knew exactly where we were going—and the times I simply had to trust God and keep moving.

And somehow, through all the ins and outs... we're still here.

Still creating.
Still educating.
Still innovating.
Still pouring into this industry.
Still believing in the professional stylist.

But none of these pictures tell a story about one person. Look closely and you'll see the people who made these 24 years possible—educators who stood on our stages, stylists who believed in our products, clients who supported us, and relationships that have lasted decades.

That's impact.

And today, more than anything, I'm grateful.

Grateful to God for bringing me through everything I could see coming—and everything I couldn't.

Grateful for the lessons.

Grateful for the people.

And grateful that after 24 years, I still wake up excited about what we can build next.

Now I want to hear YOUR story.

If @HairElementsProducts has been part of your salon, your career, your hair journey, or simply a great memory somewhere along these 24 years, send us a DM. Send an old picture. Send a testimonial. Send us a quick video.

We're collecting 24 stories for 24 years, because this legacy doesn't belong to me alone.

It belongs to everybody who helped us build it.

24 years down—and by God's grace, we're still here. And we're not finished. ❤️🙏🏾

Gotta take BOB-a-Lina out to handle some business, but if you wanna know what I used to my hair so shiny and bouncy, comment below “BOBBING” or hit me in my DM to receive more information!

But also, please pay attention to your receipts cause these stores count on you missing it. 👌🏾
Not today tho. 🤌🏾

To think there was a time when you argued and fought with me because I wanted you to be more than just a sit in the corner catch and shoot player. Because I saw you had more value and ability than that. Glad the work is showing and you are starting to believe and trust the process. As a guard you have to be good on and off the ball. Be able to set up the play, make the play and finish the play. Still work to do.
Look at the growth. And you did it vs older guys, playing up and playing vs Varsity players. The bar been set.

We all know that as Hairstylist water can sometimes be hard to get in our systems. What helps me at 5am is Nu Standard Drink n Go Hair & Scalp Hydrator!!!! It’s great hydration for my intense morning workouts, but it also focuses on hair and scalp health. Oh, and it tastes great☺️ Remember, healthy hair starts from the inside out.🤎
Experience this at The Original Hair Loss Convention in San Juan, PR 🏝️
