In this episode of UTK, we talk about the harsh reality about the modelling industry with .

The beauty and modeling industry often sells a polished image, but at what cost? For many Black women, achieving that “perfect” look has meant heat damage, chemical overuse, and neglect of natural hair health. When health is sacrificed for aesthetics, the message is clear…conformity is valued more than authenticity.

The fact is healthy hair is beautiful hair. An afro, twists, braids, or locs thrive when the scalp is nourished, moisture is balanced, and styles aren’t forced to meet someone else’s standard. Real confidence comes from care, not compromise.

As consumers, creators, and professionals, we get to shift the standard by demanding that the industry respect textured hair for what it is. Our hair is worth protecting.

Ever feel like natural hair care has become too complicated?

Sometimes the best thing we can do is embrace a minimalist routine that focuses on what truly matters. Healthy, beautiful hair isn’t about using dozens of products. It’s about using the right ones with consistency and care.

A simplified approach gives your scalp space to thrive, reduces breakage through less manipulation, and makes wash days less stressful. Choosing multi-use products, rotating a few protective styles, and listening to your hair’s natural rhythm are all part of keeping things simple. Minimalism isn’t about neglect. It’s about finding balance.

For Afro textured hair and beyond, healthy hair thrives on consistency, not complication. When we do less with intention, we create space for growth, ease, and confidence.

Jamaican castor oil has always been more than a beauty hack.

Ameena shares why castor oil earned legendary status in Jamaican households…used to soften strands, soothe scalps, and yes, even help with digestive issues. Long before labels said “multi-use,” castor oil was already delivering.

Some days it’s sleek and laid. Other days it’s big, bold, and free…and that’s the beauty of Jamaican hair care.

On the latest UTK episode,Ameena shares how, growing up in Jamaica, hair wasn’t worn for trends…it was worn for feelings. If you’re joyful, tired, ready for the world or just want to be left alone, your hair speaks before you do.

Because sometimes a hairstyle isn’t just a look. It’s a whole mood.

How are you wearing your hair today, and what’s the mood behind it?
