Atlanta hairstylist Razor Chic spoke with The Ride’s SiMan and Chubb about why it’s important to get weaves installed properly, why she felt it was important to share the shocking video that caused an uproar on Facebook, along with the dangers of diseases and skin conditions from wearing weaves consistently.
On May 26th, the renowned, award-winning Atlanta hairstylist, affectionately known as Razor Chic of Atlanta (or Razor Chic), posted a jaw-dropping yet heart-wrenching video across social media, which featured a bold, young woman in her early 20’s who shared her hair loss horror story. In the video, the young lady elaborated on how she lost her hair due to years of consistently wearing sew-ins, quick weaves, braids and wigs without ever giving her hair a break in-between installations.
As a stylist who is all too familiar with the hair loss stories as experienced by more than half of the new client’s coming into her salon, a fed-up Razor Chic took to Facebook and Instagram to address this issue head on.
Since then, the video has gone viral reaching more than 5 million viewers across social media while also acquiring media attention from popular news sites including BET.com, Yahoo Beauty, and The Huffington Post to name a few. (contributed by Brainchild Associates)
