Scottie Beam’s voice is well-known in media circles, but it’s her hair that has become just as recognizable. The podcast host and media personality, originally from New York, has always had a deep connection to her hair, a passion rooted in childhood experiences spent in hair salons with her mother.
“My mom and I would go to a salon called Angie’s and get our hair blown out every other week,” she recalls. “It was a special mommy-and-me moment.” Growing up close to her mother, Beam cherishes these memories and hopes to share similar moments with her own children one day. She also credits her mother for instilling a deep respect for both her own hair and the hair of others.
Over the years, Beam has experimented with various hairstyles, including faux locks and even blue dye. These early mishaps sparked a commitment to learning how to care for her hair and ensure her curls remain as big and full as possible. Today, she’s working to balance her hair care routine with her fitness regimen, exploring how to manage her hair during workouts and with protective styles.
Despite her love for voluminous hair, Beam admits she has an “unpopular opinion” about hair maintenance. “My hair looks better after a wash-and-go and a workout,” she shares. “It’s bigger and less flat,” she adds, suggesting that the natural texture that comes after a good workout is often more flattering than a freshly styled look.
Scottie Beam continues to embrace her unique hair journey while navigating the complexities of synthetic hair and the reactions that come with it.
