but I found Wanakee, one of the pioneers of african american hair care and protective styling...she is selling expensive paintings now, they look nice. Her hair is still long and thick after all these years.

Thanks for posting. I have wondered what she went on to do. Nice website.

I am not familiar with her but she does have nice hair.

She was the original spokesmodel for the www.hairoil.com website. It was called "Verifen Complex". It was popular back in the late 1990's. Here is the original site.

You're not weird. I always wondered what happened to her and what her hair would look like...still gorgeous.

I enjoyed going through her web site and seeing her paintings. I love the colors she uses in her artwork, it's beautiful and her site is well designed.

Thanks for posting OP.

I wondered about her too! It's nice to see that she's still doing great things.

 

[charmtreese]

Great site...and lovely paintings!!!

 

[JustKiya]

Wow, nice, I like the art! And I'm glad to see she's still around, doing her thing - last I had heard, she became a minister.

I barely remember bits and pieces but I thought she was the one whose long hair was a weave.

Nah, that was Beverly Johnson.

Thanks for posting the link. I always wondered what happened to Wanakee. She's still lovely with gorgeous hair.

Wanakee was not only a pioneer in the black hair care industry, when she cut her hair to only several inches and then growing it back again to waist length with her hair care system; Wanakee was a huge model in the late 80s and early 90s when more black models were gaining notoriety.
I am glad to see her back again.

Best,
Almond Eyes

Wanakee was my sole inspiration to learn how to grow my hair years ago. She has beautiful hair!

 

[nakialovesshoes]

Wanakee was my first hair idol. I used her system when I was relaxed & grew my hair to the longest it has ever been. I've googled her before but I could only come up with random things from the past. I'm glad someone found her.

I love her art, though! 2 bad I can't afford it....

 

[chebaby]

so who still uses her system or products?

 

[Rae1234]

wow she is still soo beautiful!

 

[MizAvalon]

Her hair is still really pretty.

 

[CocoBunny]

Just yesterday I was on the hair oil website and I wondered what she was up to. Good to see that she looks healthy happy and still has GREAT hair. Thank you for finding her.

 

[MrsQueeny]

I remember her. Thanks for the info. Q

 

[MissYocairis]

Not weird at all! She's the reason I finally realized that AA hair CAN grow long! I love her hair!

 

[MissYocairis]

Her paintings are beautiful. Thanks for posting, OP.

 

[asummertyme]
