2022 Best In Black Hair Awards: Styling Wonders

2022 Best In Black Hair Awards: Styling Wonders
By Samantha Callender & Blake Newby · Updated February 10, 2022

This 2022 Best in Black Hair Hairstylist of the Year winner took 2021 by storm. Glamming the likes of Jazmine Sullivan, Normani, Winnie Harlow and more, Dhairius is known for his immense talent, particularly with styling and extensions. Trying to decide if extensions are for you? “It all really depends on your lifestyle and what your daily routine consists of,” he says. “If you’re a person that likes to reach and touch your scalp easily, wearing a glueless wig unit could work. On the flip side, I would only recommend a traditional weave install if my client has a busy lifestyle and doesn’t have time to spend on styling every morning. If braided correctly, the base underneath the weave serves as a protective style and can promote hair growth if properly nourished.”
