Cutting It in the ATL Star, Mushiya Releases Natural Hair Doll Cutting It in the ATL star and owner of The Damn Salon and Runway Curls Mushiya Tshikuka recently released a natural hair doll. The first doll of the My Natural Doll line is named Keleshe and has 100% virgin kinky hair from the Runway Curls collection.

1BlessedNatural - My Review of Cutting It: in the ATL-Episode 7 (photo cred: We tv) Hey, my blessed naturals, Last night's episode 7 of Cutting It: in the ATL was something else.

She walks over to the woman doing braid extensions to examine her work and tells her the braids have bubbles that can break the client's hair.Then, Mushiya does a sample braid for her, but the young lady is still not successful. Mushiya tells her she cannot allow her to practice at her salon. I thought it was really cool to see her give the stylist constructive criticism. The other stylist was ...
