Braids & Dreadlocks:: A Chat with Teeana of Sir Madam Unisex Studios

Braids are timeless, versatile, and always in style. But what sets truly great braids apart is the skill and artistry behind them. To dive into the beauty and technique of braiding, we caught up with Teeana, a professional mobile barber and braider from Sir Madam Unisex Studios in Ocala, Florida, who’s making waves with her metropolitan-style braids for both men and women.

Meet Teeana: Barber, Braider, and Beauty Innovator

Teeana has carved out a unique niche in the world of hair, combining her precision as a barber with her talent for creating bold, modern braids. “Braiding is more than just a hairstyle,” she says. “It’s a form of expression and an art that requires understanding both the client’s personality and the natural flow of their hair.”

From intricate cornrows to trendy designs, Teeana specializes in braiding styles that suit the urban, fast-paced lifestyle of her clientele. Her goal? To make every client leave her chair feeling confident and polished.

Prepping the Perfect Braid: Teeana’s Tips

According to Teeana, smooth, hydrated hair is key to achieving braids that look sleek and stay intact. “Dry or frizzy hair can make braiding more difficult, and the end result won’t have that clean, finished look,” she explains.

For this, Teeana recommends a few of her favorite Avon products:

• Avon Elastine Magic Control Frizz Care Shampoo: Elastine Magic Control Frizz Care Shampoo is a nourishing formula designed to tame frizz and smooth unruly hair. 

• Avon Elastine PropoliThera Leave-In Conditioner: “This product adds moisture and shine, making hair more manageable and easier to braid.”

• Avon CHI Essentials Thermal Protecting Serum: “It’s great for protecting hair from damage and to keep locs hydrated and frizz-free.

These products help create the perfect foundation for braids, keeping the hair healthy and smooth throughout the process.

Why Braids Are for Everyone

Teeana’s work proves that braids aren’t limited by gender or style. “Whether you’re looking for a bold, intricate design or a simple, clean look, braids can be customized to suit anyone. It’s all about making it personal,” she says.

Where Style Meets Care

Pair your braids with an intrinsic undercut design.

For Teeana, braiding is about more than aesthetics—it’s about hair health. “A good braid starts with healthy hair,” she emphasizes. That’s why she always advises her clients to invest in products that nourish and protect their hair, Avon being one of her favorite brands.

Dreadlocks: Embracing Bold Versatility and Cultural Expression

Teeana’s confidence and unique flair inspire others to embrace and celebrate the endless styling possibilities of dreadlocks.

Dreadlocks are remarkably versatile—they can be styled in countless ways, whether left free-flowing, pulled up into intricate updos, braided into complementary patterns, or accessorized with beads and wraps. They offer both a bold fashion statement and a rich cultural expression that adapts to any personal style.

Teeana exemplifies this versatility with her effortlessly cool approach. She rocks her dreadlocks by experimenting with different styles—from casual, loose waves that frame her face beautifully to sophisticated updos that perfectly complement her outfit. Teeana isn’t afraid to mix textures, colors, and accessories, proving that dreadlocks are not only a practical hairstyle but also a canvas for creative self-expression. Her confidence and unique flair inspire others to embrace and celebrate the endless styling possibilities of dreadlocks.

So, whether you’re booking a slot for a a fresh braid or looking to elevate your at-home hair routine, take a page from Teeana’s book: pair great style with great care.

Braids are incredibly practical for school-age children—they keep hair neatly secured, minimize tangling, and keep hair out of the face so kids can focus on learning and playing without constant fuss.
