  1. What made you decide to go natural? It wasn't really a decision. I just got too active to schedule in relaxers, so I just kind of gave up on it. In fact, I had no idea what effect a relaxer had or didn't have on my hair. 2. What were your friends and loved ones' reactions to your decision? My friends were surprised, but liked my haircut. But my family....umm *rolls eyes* lol they're coming around. Plus, two of my sisters just discovered they have alopecia, so the doctor ordered them to stop relaxing. 3. What is your current hair regimen? I co-wash whenever I feel like my hair needs it. I detangle with conditioner and seal in the moisture every night. Then I wet it and style the next morning. I deep condition once or twice a week, and I shampoo once every two months or less.   4. What is your favorite hair style? A flat twist in the front, and the rest in a puff or bun 5. What are your 3 favorite hair products?...

My hair was very full and thick, and my sister had just as much. So, we began to depend on the hair salon. The problem was that our hair needed the care of someone who was knowledgeable in African American hair. The guessing games began in my adolescent years, and continued on throughout college. I never had a knack for doing my own hair…that was my mother and sister's forte.. The experience was stressful; it was a burden to experience hair breakage and damage without any knowledge ...
