To celebrate Mothers day (early) I have decide to focus our
Friday post on my very own mother Cerise Fairfax. Surprise mom, love you!
My mother Cerise is an inspirational life coach, who has
worked with the likes of Mark Strong, Devo Brown, DJ Starting from Scratch and
many more! Currently residing in the beautiful downtown city of Toronto, she
writes horoscopes for more than five publications across Canada!
Being someone
who has always been focused and able to overcome adversity she has been changing
lives and giving advice to virtually hundreds of people for more than 20 years!
Born in Ontario My mother grew up in the heart of down town Toronto
with her three sisters (Autumn, Darla and Audra) and her brother (Keith). Though
her childhood was not always easy growing up in Regent Park, she made the best of
whatever hand she was dealt and excelled as an individual and strong leader.
Having a locally renowned picker/upholsterer and a funkdafied
Native-Afro-American for parents, it was only natural for my mom as a teen to
hold on to her leadership qualities and became a trend setter in her
neighbourhood- in fashion, music and beauty. Much like her father before her
she found a creative outlet in antique hunting and thrifty finding, she would
make her own clothes, jewelry and even hair gel! Inspired by the architecture of
old cabbage town and the surrounding area, my mom had a pop-punk style all her
own.
Through the years I have watched my mom change and grow, especially
her hair. It has been bobbed, dyed bright pink, brown and blonde. It’s been teased,
blow dried and pinned. It’s been braided and straight as well as naturally
curly but most of all it has been loved!
My mother Cerise has amazing type 3C curly hair. If you have
this type of hair, try these tips!
-Condition your hair! Hydration
is key when you get into the more curly types of hair. Breakage occurs in this
hair type more often and hydration will stop your hair from drying out and
breaking off. Try Dagger & Arrow Butter Cream to lock in moisture after the
shower.
-Take your time with this hair and treat it delicately. Remember
if you get what you pay for when it comes to hair products so don’t scrooge out
on your hair!
-Try wet sets to control frizz and fly away hairs, and remember
to use Dagger & Arrow GELI to nourish your hair and maintain style.
