ABOUT THE CREATOR OF NAPPHAPPY
Hi! I'm Jolisa.
And that's my daughter above who I'm holding tight.
She's my motivation for everything I do.
I created NappHappy.com in 2013 to encourage woman of African decent to embrace their natural hair texture and to do away with relaxers. It started off as a hair blog on which products I used and ideal hair styles to try. But I gradually began to realize, as I was now able to focus less on my hair, that I could now focus on more important life issues.
​
I no longer concern myself with my hairstyle each day. I have a "go-to" hair routine, which frees up hours from my day, eases my mind of any concern or distractions which accompany a bad hair day (since they no longer exist), and allowed me to lift the limitations I was putting on my life, due to hair!
Embracing my hair changed my life in ways I would have never imagined.
It seems like a small step, but it leads to astronomical life improvements, mental and spiritual clarity.
​
This site is now a reflection of my growth and new life since being natural. I've also chosen to experience this journey with others by creating the NappHappy Queens of Bedstuy, which is a way for me to meet and connect with like-minded women who have realized what I have...

There are powers within us yet to be discovered.
Let us clear our minds of nonsense and become leaders in this new journey.
