Episode 0: The Story Behind Hard Wig, Soft Life
In this first episode of Hard Wig, Soft Life, I’m getting real with you about where this journey starts and why I’m here. Growing up as a first-gen Afro-Latina in a single-parent home, I learned early that life wasn’t going to be simple. By 19, I was working full-time, helping support my family, while friends were figuring out college. Then a car accident changed everything, leaving me labeled and navigating a system that felt impossible to escape.
This episode isn’t just about my story, though-it’s about what it takes to get back up after life knocks you down. I’m here to talk about surviving, finding resilience when things don’t look “perfect,” and choosing a soft life even when the world tries to keep you hard.
This podcast is for anyone carrying a weight that no one else can see. If you’re ready for real conversations, tough truths, and a little bit of softness where it counts, pull up a seat.

Melissa Laboriel + Nadula Hair: Beginner Friendly V Part Wig
มุมมอง 338ปีที่แล้ว
Here are ALL the deets on the hair in this video. The unit that I bought was the 20 inch, 130% density, small cap option. The hair does hold a curl and I would describe the texture as a body wave texture.

I will like to say thank you for sharing your story. I have been following your journey, since your Periscope days. I could remember on Periscope there were times you were vulnerable by giving your audience a sneak peak of your private life. Wow!!! I do look forward to your next episode. Continue more success. Stay focus of being consistent and gradually your audience will grow. Salute
@@blackkman I appreciate you so so much! I know that you’ve been following me for years and it warms my heart and I’m so glad that I actually have good things to share with you 🤍 at this point, you’re like my distant cousin lol.
Thank you!!!! This is my first job with business casual and girl! You just enlightened me. Thank you for using several top and bottom options with each piece. Love it ❤

Thank you so so muchhhh! I really appreciate it 💕🥹
You a bad bitch with Echoes
Can we get the links please
Hey there! All the links are actually on the long form video on my channel.
Inner beauty and morality is always significant than external beauty. We sometimes feel insecure about ourselves and think, "I wish i was as beautiful as her... Only if I didn't have this feature and that, maybe then ill feel more confident, maybe then Ill get attention." But the only attention that matters is the attention from God. And our beauty lies on the inside, not outside. Getting slightest change done is dumb, considering that, you always looked beautiful without surgery.
I agree that inner beauty and morality is significant however I don’t compare myself to anyone. This feels like a projection. I wanted to improve something on myself and so I did. I appreciate you calling me beautiful, but there’s no need to insult my decision making skills by calling it dumb. Thank you for the input.
@@MelissaLaboriel mm alr think bout it
Your so gorgeous queen🤍
Thank you so so much ❤❤
@@MelissaLaboriel ofc queen 🤍

Congrats Melissa. Happy for you girl!
Have you tried straightening it? If, so did it curl back up? It looks really pretty😍😍
I did and it was a pain to straighten and was pretty frizzy still, so I wet it and it reverted. I’ve just started buying from another company curlyme.com and they’re actually better priced and still great quality
Love that for you ❤ he understood the assignment
Looks great ❤

I didn’t get a video of the braiding pattern my stylist did, but I’m getting a similar look in a month or so, I’ll get it then.

How did the hair hold up
I wore it for a month and reused it twice. That’s just my personal preference but honestly I probably could have kept it longer. Nadula is about the same quality of Unice hair if that helps
Where's the tutorial?
The hair was installed as “flip over method” I didn’t film the process
