Ep. 305: Beauty from Accra to London ft. Charlotte Mensah, Owner of Hair Lounge

Charlotte Mensah, the first Black woman inducted into the British Hairdressing Hall of Fame, once turned her kitchen into a laboratory to develop products for her clients. Raised in her grandparent's Ghanian compound, Charlotte was exposed to her grandmother’s boundless creativity and her grandfather’s corporate acumen. Unsurprisingly, she harnessed their wisdom and built an award-winning career in beauty that spans decades. In our conversation, Charlotte talked about her path to opening Hair Lounge, London’s premier afro texture-focused salon since 1999. From defending herself against racist bullies to using hair styling to grieve the loss of her mother, Charlotte’s incredible journey revealed that for her, hair was never just about beautification. 


Tune in as we discuss:

  • Her favorite Ghanian beauty practices and tools

  • How two decades of consistency have given her envious hair and skin

  • The fundamentals of healthy hair and why it all starts with the scalp

  • Hair threading as a practice that illuminates West African traditions

  • Why embracing our natural edges is imperative to our overall hair health

Episode 295: A Naked Beauty Field Trip: Investigating Skin Rejuvenation via PRFM

Exploring beyond the limits of topical beauty treatments, and into the world of cosmetic technology can often feel daunting, or even deceptive in today’s social media landscape. So, I wanted to use this episode to break through the clutter and take you all on an audio tour of an increasingly popular treatment: PRFM or PRP. For those who may not be familiar, PRFM stands for Platelet -Rich Fibrin Matrix. It, along with PRP (Platlet-Rich Plasma) - referenced by Dr. Nanaa Boakye - have been making headlines for its ability to naturally regenerate collagen and thicken skin using one’s own blood. Having been most curious about using PRP to treat dark under eye circles, I headed over to THE Vanessa Lee at The Things We Do for a high quality and educational experience. Tune in to hear more about PRFM and PRP, and what to consider before your next big beauty treatment.
