Brandi Wesley, a senior at Penn State, is majoring in bio behavioral health. Brandi is president of the LOCKS Club on campus, a club that focuses on promoting natural hair. LOCKS stands for “Loving our curly kinky and straight hair”. The club is more of a community and support system for those transitioning from chemically processing their hair to wearing it naturally. Transitioning into natural hair is a process where one stops perming and straightening their hair as well as stops using weaves or extensions.

Brandi and her friend founded the club because they knew what a hard time it was transitioning and thought it would be great to have a place where people can come and ask questions and get tips and learn new styles for natural hair. Brandi had a rough time transitioning in high school but has learned to embrace her “new self” that was created from learning to love her natural self without feeling the need to wear her hair a certain way.
