The One and Only Curl Doctor, Shai Amiel graces us with his presence this week on Black Hair in the Big Leagues with host, Salisha Thomas. Shai has been in the business of hair (and in particular, CURLS) for over 20 years and it shows in his work. Getting in his chair at Capella Salon in Studio City is the equivalent of seeing the original Broadway cast of Hamilton: it feels like a moment in time, like history, a PRIVILEGE. Enjoy this episode as he humbly breaks it down on how to care for your tresses and how he decides which products are good (and healthy!!) to use on hair (hint: he prefers products with CLEAN ingredients) and which ones are big no no's and why. But don't just take our word for it here. Go and check out his page on Instagram @shaiamiel. He's got a ton of before and after photos that will have you scrolling for hours. (And yes, your host, Salisha Thomas is on there too.)
