Lezlie on her hair regimen...
On average I wash my hair 3 times a week. If I wear it out I will wash it every other day. If I don't feel like wearing it out a third day, I will pull it back into a crown ponytail. I deep condition once a week. Sometimes I am bad and only deep condition every other week. I trim my own hair at the moment. I try to trim it once a month, especially when I find a knot. I haven't used a flat iron on my hair since I went natural two years ago. I have had stylists use blow dryers on my hair a few times on set, but I never do at home. I do not highlight or color my hair. Sometimes I use coconut oil for moisture.
Lezlie's favorite hair products...
At this stage in my growth I only use Kinky-Curly products on my hair. I love that the line is organic and natural. I start with the "Come Clean" shampoo, then I apply the "Knot-Today" leave in conditioner and comb through my curls with a wide tooth comb or my finger. If I want perfect spirals with no frizz I will also use the "Curling Custard" once I am out the shower.
Favorite place to buy hair products...
I shop at Wilshire Beauty in Los Angeles, CA. They carry several lines for natural hair.
Favorite hair style...
I wore my hair long and relaxed most of my life, and always wondered what my natural hair looked like. So I stopped relaxing it for 3 months, went to the salon, and had him buzz ALL of my hair off. Since that day, I have worn it out and free for the most part. The curl pattern is pretty intense and most people assume I have a straw set or a curly perm. So I love to wear it naturally curly.
A couple of months ago, I filmed a movie (The Pretty Boys) that was set in 1973 and my character (Monica) rocked a fro everyday. I never imagined wearing a fro would feel so empowering, I loved it, and still wear it occasionally. Other than that, I will pull it up in a crown ponytail when I want a more polished look.
