We featured you in 2013, wow so much can happen in 5 years. Not only did you start classes for stylists. You have dvds, vitamins, oil, almost 600k followers on Instagram, noticeable weight loss. You also started a movement to help women love, care for and wear their hair.
How did you accomplish so much?
Jasmine: I accomplished these things by building a great team. Team work makes the dream work.
 
We support your stand on hair care but we are not totally against weaves. Do you think greed/lack of education is the reason why so many stylists have continued to weave clients even after seeing the damage/alopecia it has caused?
Jasmine: Bingo. But neither am I anti-weave. It’s really the lack of education and from the average stylist being complacent. And also not knowing when to switch over to the next level of their career.

In your opinion should clients ever wear weaves?
Jasmine: I wouldn’t say they shouldn’t wear weaves, but I believe in doing things in moderation and if you are wearing weaves more than wearing your real hair that is a major issue. Braiding, smothering, and tension is the enemy, which is an proven fact over the last 15 years plus. People not realizing the braiding is another form of tweezing and the more you pull your hair from the follicle the more those follicles are deaden.
Some clients are wearing weaves for decades fully aware of hair loss. At what point is the client responsible?
Jasmine: I believe the client is responsible when the client notices the hair loss but continues to put weave in their hair due to convenience and laziness.
 
The natural hairdressers feel that relaxers are just as damaging if not more than weaves, what's your response to that?
Jasmine: Its all about the texture of someone hair. I’m big on texture. Texture is the deciding factor on whether or not relaxers are for you. Just because your natural does not mean your hair is healthy and relaxer is not the enemy. Think back 20 years ago when relaxers were prominate and people were going to salons every 2 weeks and had heads full of hair. Then everyone ran from relaxers and ran toward to the weaves, wigs, and braids is why hair loss is at its peak today.
 
How has success changed you?
Jasmine: My success has made more comfortable with being more public and out in the forefront.
Has success changed how people treat you?
Jasmine: Success has definitely changed how people treat me. It has gotten me into places and amongst people I would have never imagined and also has pulled me from the people and things I no longer have time for.
