Suki Suki founder Linda Gieskes – ‘My hair is an extension of my personal style'

We ask Linda Gieskes, owner and founder of Suki Suki Naturals, to share her personal hair journeys – including some of her 'firsts'. This is her personal hair journey: I remember the first time I had my hair professionally blow-dried at a salon. I was about five or six years old. I was amazed at how much movement my hair could have and how soft it felt. The concept of how heat could transform your hair texture was introduced to me then. My hair became a part of my identity from my earliest memories, when it started defining my self-confidence and how pretty I felt on any given day.

It was always an expression of how I viewed myself and I enjoyed being an active participant in how I wanted to wear it, and therefore how I wanted to be perceived and express myself.

My hairstyle is dictated by how I want to feel and be perceived on a particular day. I look and feel my best when my eyebrows are threaded, and my hair braided. The combination makes me feel like I've got my life together. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Suki Suki Naturals® (@sukisukinaturals) A hairstyle I still want to try is a very short bob. A brand I'll always be loyal to is Suki Suki Naturals. I take care of my hair by doing my deep treatments and being patient with it. The best advice I have been given is to take care of your ends. Avoid buns that tug at your ends and don't use plastic hair ties or those with metallic tips.
