Meet Gemini student/artist/believer Zewiditu Jewel also known as ZewluLotus.

On being natural...
I have worn my hair natural since the 8th grade. Seven years that makes it. The most beautiful thing in the world. I actually had a kiddie perm 3 years ago and of course I went back natural. I had a short cut and it's super easy to maintain while permed. I have been natural ever since and my curls are finally taking their natural born curl. It makes me so happy. I'm natural because it's so free and open to any hair possibilites.

Hair care regimen...
I usually get my hair washed, I promise it's the reason I go to get my hair done. THE best thing ever!! My close friend's mom used to keep her daughter's hair dirty for a month, she said it helped thier hair grow and it's true; they all had super long hair. Just saying:) Not a WHOLE month though.

Favorite products...
I'm a HUGE fan of Hot Oil Treatments. I LOVE Biosilk, Nexxus, and Mizani.

Hair tip...
Keep your hair conditioned

On salons and stylists...

I try different Salons frequently, I'm always a fan of Dominican Hairdressers. When I'm wearing my hair curly, I'm my best stylist.

Favorite hair style...

I LOVE to wear my hair in an unkempt, semi formed afro. The Afro thats been slept on and semi picked out, if you will.

On style...
my STYLE...hmmm...If Elton John were a bird with several wings, flying through a galaxy of colors.

On shopping...
My house is the ultimate SPOT. I am heavily influenced by both my Grandmother and Mom-I wear their clothes always:)

Wardrobe must-haves...
I HAVE to have sunglasses, my purple scarf, and a great pair of heels. Right now they are these Fire Truck Engine Red Pumps I got at the Thrift store.
