Curls & Conversations: A Winter Hair Guide Beyond the Chair: Real Talk on Black Hair Care

The Inclusive Business Lab

Black women’s hair is more than just hair—it’s history, culture, and identity.
In this episode of The Inclusive Business Lab, I sit down with my very own hairstylist, Bethany of Book by Bee, to talk all things winter hair care. From the importance of moisture to protecting your curls from heat damage, Bethany shares expert tips to keep your hair healthy all season long.
But this conversation goes beyond products and styling. We dive into the challenges of finding the right stylist, the lack of curly hair education in cosmetology schools, and the way Black hair has been commercialized sometimes at our expense.
Bethany keeps it real about the industry, from overpriced ‘curly cuts’ to the rise of scam bookings. And yes, we talk about that struggle of finding a stylist who actually respects your time and your hair.
Whether you're rocking a silk press this winter or staying curly all year long, this episode is packed with knowledge, laughs, and those “yes, girl!” moments. Bethany also shares details on her new eBook, designed to help beginners (and parents of curly-haired kids) master natural hair care at home.
Tune in for expert hair advice, honest conversations, and a whole lot of love for Black hair!
