How long have you been natural? And why did you decide to go natural?
I’ve been natural all my life but I had a bad salon experience and decided to start taking matters like hair care into my own hands about 3 years ago
What’s the best and worst thing about being natural?
Best – your hair can do almost anything if you figure out how to manipulate it.

Worst – my hair is very high maintenance – I always have to plan in advance.
Give us a brief summary of your wash day regimen
– Section my hair into 4-6 sections, pre-poo with an olive oil/coconut oil mix and let that sit for 30 minutes
– Section my hair into 4-6 sections, pre-poo with an olive oil/coconut oil mix and let that sit for 30 minutes
– Taking a section at a time, I work conditioner into the hair and on my scalp (if I have a lot of build up, I’ll do a shampoo-conditioner mix)
– Rinse this out (whilst removing any obvious knots)
– Cover the hair in A LOT of conditioner (usually Organix) and detangle with a wide-tooth comb
– Twist section and repeat on all the other sections, then leave under a plastic cap and a towel for deep-conditioning (anything from an hour to overnight)
– Wash out the conditioner and decide what I’m going to do (I always style my hair: twist out, braid out, french plaits etc – I’ve had bad wash-n-go experiences)

Tell us two DOs and two DON’Ts for your natural hair
DOs: Learn what works for your hair and have go to styles that you can always do when everything seems to be going wrong e.g. the my-hair-is-dry-but-you’ll-never-know low bun. Treat your edges kindly, protect them and don’t pull on them too much.
DON’Ts: Keep protective styles too long or do them consecutively without rest periods.
