Being natural...
I have worn my hair natural for most of my life. There are only a few times I remember getting a relaxer, maybe 4 times total. When I was in 8th grade I had my cut my hair to shoulder length to get rid of my dead ends and the relaxed hair.
Hair care regimen...
I wash my hair twice a week and I deep condition it once a week. I don't get trims on a regular basis, I just cut split ends out when I see them.
On heat...
I used to flat iron my hair ALL the time in high school because I didn't like my curly hair . So I bought an expensive flat iron. I loved it and it worked really well. The summer I graduated was really hot and flat ironing my hair was getting to be to much because my hair would frizz up. I decided to wear it curly. To my surprise, my hair was almost as straight as it was before I washed it. My hair had limp loose curls, not tight kinky curls like I have before. I purchased different curling shampoos and I stayed away from the flat iron for a long time. It's been about 2 1/2 years and I have my curls back (thank God) and now I only straighten my hair on occasions.
On color...
I don't use any color on my hair and I don't plan to anytime soon.
Favorite products...
I love using Mixed Chicks products, Paul Mitchell's Smoothing Super Skinny Shampoo, Conditioner and Smoothing Serum. The styling aids I use are Aquage Curl Defining Creme, Defining Gel and Silkening Oil Treatment. I learned that most of the products for curly hair sold in drugs stores don't work for my hair. I tried just about everything when I was going through my hair crisis. I'm a licenced cosmetologist for I get my hair products from Cosmo Prof (except for Mixed Chicks, I buy that online).
Favorite style...
I like to wear my hair out and wild or with one side slicked over and the other side wild and curly.
