Rapunzel Afro Hair
Braid Stylist • Hair Extensions • Hair Salon in Wollstonecraft NSW
🎉 Transforming hair, elevating confidence! Rapunzel Afro Hair, led by Ana Larissa, is all about embracing beauty through braids and more. Specialising in styles like Goddess braids, box braids, and gypsy braids, this business is here to make your hair a statement of sleek, bold, and timeless elegance.
🌟 Why choose braids?
Not only are braids a protective style, but they also bring ease to your routine by reducing daily maintenance like brushing and styling. Plus, they keep your hair moisturised, and your scalp warm during the colder months. Perfect for every woman who wants to enhance her self-esteem while rocking a gorgeous look!
💬 In her interview on the Mulheres Imigrantes Podcast, Ana Larissa talks about her own hair transition and how braids helped her embrace her natural beauty. She shares insights on how hair is tied to self-esteem and how braids can be a source of empowerment! Listen now.
