About Helen

My name is Helen Luwal. I am from Sudan, in north-east Africa. I came to America via Egypt and I have been in San Diego for 5 years.

My skill in braiding came very naturally. No one taught me, I explored the beauty that could be found from hair on my own. I love everything dealing with beauty and hair. Working with different people from different backgrounds, especially with Americans, helped me improve my English, particularly in my early years in America.

My experience in doing hair started when I was eleven and has improved with time. I have been working in America for 5 years in many different braiding shops and on my own. No matter where I work, or what job I have, I always look for the opportunity to create beauty that will rest on one's head.
