Following on from my introduction I would like to share a bit more about me who I am the HAIR ARTISTE “Angela Plummer”
I grew up in North London and started braiding my own hair at the tender age of ten, as a result of the painful experience of a
typical West Indian ritual: which consisted of weekly braiding or even worse biweekly torture of washing and braiding the Afro Kinky
locks of my hair.
One day after this weekly ritual I declared to my Mum “this is the last time you are braiding my hair” and so from that day forth
every two weeks I braided my own hair. Over the years I developed a very distinctive style of braiding.
You all may be saying but we know this already!!! Yes you do but the reason for the painful experience was my Mum became ill
and could no longer take care of our hair needs correctly why I started braiding etc my own hair. To be honest at the time I hated
the fact that I was doing my own hair as it was taking me away my passion for fashion. I come from a Family of Fashion Designers,
seamstress and chefs so only natural I wanted to be a Fashion Designer for as long as I can remember every day after school I
would run home jump on the sewing machine to make something fashionable OR SO I THOUGHT, if I wasn’t sewing I was knitting
anything to do with Fashion that was me. My Mum would always say to me
