H. Have you always liked your curls/kinks/coils? if not how did you come to embrace your natural hair?
A: No! I wanted straight, long, blonde hair flowing down my back when I was young child; I used to walk around with a towel on my head. As a teenager I became more accepting, and I had a lot of positive influences around me family, friends etc. In my late teens/early twenties I blow dried and pressed my hair a lot, which led to heat damage (I didn’t even realise I had it at the time).
In my mid twenties, I couldn’t understand why my hair was not growing and every time I went to the hair dressers they were taking inches upon inches off my hair. By this time I had, had enough and decided my hair, my rules I need to start taking responsibility for it and to not rely on hairdressers. I knew in my mind that my hair must be able to grow past my chin. I was directed by a family member Sasha cofounder of ‘I Love Afro’ to YouTube for inspiration and the rest is history really.
H. How would you describe your hair texture?
A: A multitude of different curl strands! Curly, Kinky, Coily.
H. Tell us one 'Do' and one 'Don't' for your hair type

H. How often do you wash your hair and what products do you use?
A: I shampoo my hair once a month and cowash/deep condition at least twice a month. At the moment my go to products are; Giovanni smooth as silk deeper moisture for detangling/cowash. Bee mine ‘moisturising shampoo’ and Bee mine ‘Avocado cream balanced conditioner’. For styling and moisture locking I use my own oil mixture and Jane Carter ‘Nourish and Shine’. I also Iike to use Darcy’s Bontanicals and Komaza Care products.
H. Describe your WORST hair day
A: It’s funny but with natural hair, I find that a bad hair day can flip on its head and become a good one. The beauty with natural hair is that, you never really need to have a polished style even the messy ones look great!!
