Maria shampooed my natural hair when she was @ Sola salons. She's @ Luxe now and recently straightened my hair. My flat-ironed (natural) hair held its style for an entire week with absolutely no heat. Did I say its the first time my hair had been straightened in almost a year? Well it was.For anyone who is on a natural journey, Maria is the one to go to. She is well versed in proper care for natural hair. Whether you are rocking the natural state of your hair or straightening it, Maria will hook you up and at the same time insure that your tresses are healthy.
