Paying It Back... Who is your hair mentor? Tag her here today. Tell us who he or she is. _______ We are all familiar with paying it forward. I want us to ”Pay It Back”. Use this time to pay homage to your hair mentor. The person you followed, (I kinda stalked mine😔), respected, shared her/his wisdom, and reflected an image that you used as your roadmap to success.
