Tomiko Fraser Talks Natural Hair in Fashion and Acting

My friend and hairstylist at the time, Anthony Dickey (founder of “Hair Rules” products – https://www.hairrules.com) did my first “Big Chop”.  Let me just say that it was a traumatic experience for me.  I had recently gotten my contract with Maybelline & was terrified that they wouldn’t like my natural hair or even worse, cancel my contract because I now looked different than how they hired me.  Dickey had witnessed the stress my scalp/hair was going through and was just a bit too happy to cut it all off.  I love him and understand that he was doing what was best for me and my hair, but I wasn’t as “hair evolved” as I am now, so it was really hard for me to handle.  I cried the entire time I was in his chair. Fast forward a few months and my BC had grown in a bit and what did I do?  I relaxed it again.  I can be stubborn sometimes.  You can guess what happened?  It broke again and this time with a vengeance.  Needless to say, I learned my lesson and did not relax my hair again…..until about 4 years ago.  I told you that I was stubborn.  Again, my hair had grown into this amazingly healthy big fro and I wanted to see how much length I had.  So much to the dismay of my then (and still) friend and hairstylist, Felicia Leatherwood of “Loving Your Hair With Natural Care” (https://www.facebook.com/LovingYourHair), I relaxed my hair AGAIN!  I don’t even have to tell you what happened.  Let’s just say that this lady will NOT be relaxing her hair ever again.
