'It’s not uncommon to see braids on a catwalk with an all-white lineup. Before long people forget that braids are a part of black culture that have long been (and still are) politicised and policed.'

I’m completely self-taught and only really started braiding when I started Keash. I used to watch my mum and her friends so had some insight into different techniques but like I said, braiding was a huge part of my childhood! After watching your mum / sister / self get their hair done for hours at a time, you pick up some stuff.

Snoop D-O-GG! I'm so lucky to have already worked with some of my favourite brands and celebrities but imagine some OTT Keash canerows or blinged out twists that he wore in the 90's - that would be so sick.We’re now called Keash but me and one of my best friends from school came up with the idea for Keash Braids. Our success was kind of accidental to be honest… I wanted to start a braiding portfolio, teamed up with Jessy and we put on our first ever pop-up in Hoxton.
