Deep Conditioned
I thought I just needed my hair done.
Turns out, I needed to be undone.
Burned out. Buried under wigs, brands, and a version of myself I don’t even recognize.
I came to Crowned and Covered for a takedown…
but left with a truth I hadn’t faced in years—
hair that breathes, hands that heal,
and a mirror that showed me me—raw, real, and ready to begin again.

Freedom
In today's world where Social Media is prevalent Katrice, an influencer finds herself needing to always be "on." She has lost herself in this online persona she has created to appease her followers. The beat face and bundles that she doesn't even like has been her shield and she is tired of it all. Her hairstyle allows both her hair and her spirit to breathe, rest, and to be free from being overstimulated.

mask off - remember who you are
Book 5 follows Katrice, a social media influencer who lost her identity along the way. What started as a passion became hidden behind wigs, makeup, brand deals and putting on for the followers. Katrice is ready to reclaim who she is and why she started in the first place, and I feel like so many of us content creators can relate to that. Just like all the other ladies, Katrice time at the salon is packed with emotions, the ladies pouring into her and of course getting her hair done. Katrice is reminded that who she is, is more than the bundles.

I said it before and I'll say it again...Netra Antoinette continues to deliver stories that feel like soul care. These main characters may only get 30 pages, but they carry the weight of full, lived lives. Do I wish each story was longer? Absolutely. These women deserve novels. But even in the brevity, the power is undeniable.
Black women, us showing up as our whole self—no filters, no pretending—even when the world tries to convince us you’re not enough. That's raw beauty!
This Sunday, it’s Katrice’s moment in the chair at Crowned and Covered, and let me tell you—she is ready. At 26, a social media “it girl” with a polished feed and a long list of brand deals, she’s finally tired of chasing perfection. And as those 32-inch bundles come down, so does the weight of the unrealistic expectations she’s been carrying.
Katrice’s story hit deep. So many of us as Black women feel that quiet pressure to always have it together—especially online. The flawless photos, the overthinking before we post, the silent comparisons that drain us behind the scenes. But Katrice reminds us that freedom lives in authenticity. That there’s nothing more powerful than choosing to be real in a world obsessed with performance.
One of my favorite lines? “I felt like a woman declining vassals. One twist at a time.” Whew. That line lingered. It felt like a gentle, holy reclaiming of self, and I was right there with her, twist after twist.
The Sunday Crown Series is a five-star gem, through and through. If anyone disagrees... well, I can’t help them. This series gets it—and more importantly, it gets us.
To every Black woman reading this: Stand in your truth. Let go of the noise. Your dreams are sacred, your peace is non-negotiable, and who you are—as you are—is already more than enough.
I love Sunday’s at the salon.

Katrice’s story felt connected to today’s world where a lot of people are trying to be so “perfect” for social media. Her hair is her crown and she couldn’t even wear it the way she wanted to because she had to uphold the brand that was created for her with the bundles of fake hair. Her transformation was just that with her living in her natural beauty and allowing herself to just be her and it was nice to see. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of her character and how she handles being a social media influencer going forward and if she is able to build a life outside of that.

Deep Conditioned
Netra Antoinette
Sunday Crown Session Book 5
Katrice is the girl with the influence. Being an influencer has been very lucrative for her, but she’s lost so much of herself to maintain a façade. She can’t even remember the last time she could just live and be her truest self. I liked how she didn’t question her worthiness. She knows with or without the pretending she’s that girl. It’s more about a balance between who she is and what is presented to the world. In the additional chapters included in the paperback that’s coming soon, I hope she gets a moment of reprieve.

Back to Basic
Hmmm 🤔, thus far Katrice is/was my least character in the “Sunday Crown Session series. Unfortunately, her identity crisis & personal issues were self imposed. Nevertheless, “Deep Conditioned (Sunday Crown Sessions) - Book 5” a good read (3.5 ⭐️’s) just not as captivating as the other books/back stories. However, C&C’s help is on the way. “you needed a deep conditioning today, baby. And not just your hair. Your soul too. The kind of deep conditioning that goes into the parts you forgot about.” Katrice’s back to basics journey begins.

Stand in your own truth. Never allow others expectations to run your life and thoughts. Yours dreams are just that… yours. Someone else’s views of you don’t matter especially if it’s costing your sanity and losing yourself in the process. I love Sunday’s at the Salon.

Stress is real, and it can turn the things we love to the things we resent the most. I love this series and the women included in it. Kind sad yo be starting the last book in the series...

Katrice story is super relatable especially in a time like this where social media is so trendy. It’s fake! People put on a facade for the cameras but drowning offline.
