Broadway debut in Amelie was WILD for Destinee, but she thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Pandemic talk: Worries, stay-at-home experiences, and hope for the future!

The black hair department has been great for Destinee, filled with educated and knowledgeable help!

As a hard dancer, she’s learned that hair effects the performance aspects of theatre! (Dancing a wig off)

Hair for Amelie was pretty simple, a basic high bun for most actors!

Hair Journey:

-Grew up getting perms at a young age, but her mom did braids for everyone in her community so she often wore braids!

-In high school, she got her first sew in.

-Started perming her hair in high school, but the natural movement started to happen (based on how expensive it was and what everyone else is doing around her)

-Her true natural hair journey happened midway through school when she decided to make the big chop HERSELF!

-By the time she was a senior in high school, she was rocking her natural fro!

Destinee’s GO TO is a wash n go and some clip ins.
