"It has been a challenging time for our family. 🕊️ On Sunday, we lost my uncle. Just a few days later, on Wednesday, we lost my grandmother, too. That Wednesday, I was sitting with her, braiding my hair. She asked me not to do single braids but straight back cornrows because they’re quicker. I listened, as I always did. Even in that moment, she was still guiding me, still being herself."

Thahane further shared that the death of her granny hit their family while they were busy making funeral arrangements for her uncle, who also recently passed away.

"While I was busy helping with the arrangements for my uncle’s funeral, she spoke calmly about what she wanted for her funeral. My hairdresser and I asked her not to say such things, but she continued… She kept asking when my little sister and my cousins were coming back from the car wash. We talked. We laughed. She was FINE! She waited for my cousins, my sister, and me to finish braiding my hair. And then everything happened so fast. She passed away in our hands."

Thank you for the wisdom, the love, and the lessons you gave so freely. In July, we travelled to Thailand, a dream made possible by the Garnier team. What a beautiful time we had.
