1. What's your name and where are you from?
I’m Tiss, from rainy old England. WooooOooOoo 2. What is your hair type? The hair typing system never seems to fit me perfectly, but I’d say I’m a mix of 3c and 4a. It’s all a bit random!
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural towards the end of 2014, after getting fed up with my horribly damaged hair. School bullies made my relationship with my hair complicated, but with age and exposure to Instagram came more confidence in my natural texture! 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging thing was definitely balancing my hair’s needs with my disability. I have trouble with using my hands sometimes, and I get fatigued easily. But I’ve managed to devise a system that works for my hair and my body. 5. What is your weekly regimen? Wash day is every Sunday, and it looks a little like this (if all goes smoothly!):
6. What is your daily morning regimen? In the morning I spritz my hair with a water and oil mix, and smooth down the front if I’m wearing it up. If my hair is out, I spritz and then shake it around until it loosens up! 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night, I spritz my hair again. If it’s out, I put it into a loose pineapple. Then I tie a silk scarf over it to keep my hair protected and moisturised. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I never straighten or blow out my hair, mainly because I never want to! I used to diffuse it after washing, but now I just sit in front of a fan and read or something—it’s like super-speed air drying and it’s my favourite trick.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Yes! Braids are one of my favourite protective styles, but you have to be careful—if they’re too tight your edges will disintegrate. I wear them once or twice a year. Mainly in winter, because it gets collllllddddd here! Freezing weather will dry out my hair real fast, so protection is necessary. And then, of course, I often rock them in the summer because.. well, it’s a look. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Honestly, fingers over everything. But if I had to choose, wide-tooth comb! 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Usually loose—my puffs aren't really protective. I do wear a lot of wigs in the winter, though. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Ooooohhh my god, yes. In my mid-teens, just before my first ever festival, I decided to get my roots relaxed so I could look fresh. So OF COURSE I get the most horrifying burn right at the front of my head. Thankfully it was on one side, so I just flipped my hair over it. It traumatises me to this day. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? My biggest tip for hair health: water water water. I spritz my hair twice daily because it drinks the moisture up like dry earth. To stay strong and healthy, your hair needs to be hydrated. Figure out a method that works for you and use it to keep your hair watered regularly! Steam is a great way to do so too, if you don’t like getting your hair wet. 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
Hey, everyone! My name is Sherelle and I live in NYC. 2. What is your hair type? I'm mainly a 3C curly gal with a front middle portion of my edges that have a mind and curl of their own.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I decided to go back to natural in 2011 after being inspired on Tumblr by HeyFranHey. And also out of the sheer laziness of no longer wanting to spend my Sunday evenings frying my hair with a flat iron. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Finding products, establishing a routine, and figuring out which styles worked well with my lifestyle took quite a bit of time. I only figured out my hair could last in a wash n go for more than a day a year and a half ago and I've been natural for nearly five years! 5. What is your weekly regimen? I have more of an every-five-days-regimen right now, haha! Every five days, I cleanse/co-wash my hair, deep condition after every cleanse (ranging from 10 min-3 hours depending on time), apply a leave-in/curl styler, allow my hair to soak in the product and air dry for 30 minutes, diffuse, fluff, then go! 6. What is your daily morning regimen? While pretending to be the lead singer at a sold out concert and vibing to my music, I fluff my fro while my hands are coated in a hair oil. If my hair isn't feelin' it that day, I'll throw it up in my go-to half up-do and bang style. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I tie a simple silk scarf around my hair to create a pineapple. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? About once or twice a year during the cooler months: Once to straighten and once to make a curling rod style.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I create my own braided/twisted protective style without extensions about once a season. And once a year for the past two years I've gotten either box braids or Senegalese twists. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Denman brush all the way. Or, better yet, fingers. They're free! 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? About 99% of the time, my hair is down in a wash n go style. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? During my last texturizer (and you'll see why it was my last), I got burned so badly that I couldn't undo my doobie wrap the next morning since my scalp had oozed so much that my hair was stuck to it. LAST TEXTURIZER/PERM EVER. After that I stopped going to salons to get my hair straightened altogether and went down the route of self-care and I haven't looked back since. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Consistency, moisture, deep conditioning, satin pillow cases, and trimming fairy knots/split ends. I know that's several tips but they're all super important! 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
I'm Jasmine but call me Jas. I live in Cleveland, OH 2. What is your hair type? My hair type is 3c/4a.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural almost 5 years ago. I damaged my hair so much between relaxers and hair dye. I just wanted my hair to be healthy. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Being patient was hard for me. Natural hair takes so much more time and product. It's frustrating sometimes; you really have to take care of it. 5. What is your weekly regimen? The most important thing in my regimen is deep conditioning weekly. I try to only do my hair once a week and maintain that style so I don't have much manipulation. Moisturizing every other day is important 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Hope for the best when I take my scarf off 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I use silk or satin pillow cases. I use a bonnet and/or scarf every night. And I moisturize as needed. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I haven't flat ironed my hair in 6 months and I don't plan to again for a long time. I do blow-dry my hair when ever I want to add some stretch to a style. I try to use the cool setting.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Yes I braid my hair. Very often, more times than I count. I don't trust others to braid my hair because I don't want it too tight so I braid my own hair. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Both, But the Denman is definitely number one on my list. I use my Denman on wet hair and the wide tooth comb if I ever comb out on dry hair. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Half and half, but I want to start doing more protective styles to keep my ends covered. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? I would say my relaxers were a tragedy. Coloring my hair blonde was the worst mistake I've made. My hair doesn't do well with hair color. I had to keep cutting the damaged hair to recover from it. It wasn't worth it. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Deep conditioning and keeping your hair moisturized are very important when it comes to retaining length as well as maintaining the health of your hair. 14. Where can we find you online?

Shaakira Barber. I’m originally from Louisville, KY 2. What is your hair type? 3C/4A
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
Surprisingly, this is my second time going natural. My grandmother wore a big afro in the 60’s and I came across a photo of her and saw the resemblance of our facial features and fell in love. From that moment on I knew I wanted to keep my natural look. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging thing would be maintaining a straight and sleek hairstyle. Often times when I get my hair pressed it only lasts for that day, due to humidity here in the south. 5. What is your weekly regimen? My weekly regimen consists of washing my hair with Taliah Waajid Clean N Curly Shampoo, The Great Detangler & The Curly Curl Sealer for my wash and gos. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? My daily regimen consists of Lou Ana’s Coconut Oil, African’s Best Herbal oil and oil infused (Argan Oil) water sprayed onto my hair everyday for styling. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? My night time regimen consists of using a satin bonnet and satin pillow to sleep on in case it decides to slip off. I tend to be a wild sleeper. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I rarely use heat on my hair. Since I’ve been natural I’ve only straightened my hair twice.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I do braid my hair. I love the box braid protective style, Havana twists and the braided Mohawk hairstyles. I get my hair braided 5-7 times a year. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? I love my Denman Brush! 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is normally loose. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? The only hair tragedy I’ve experienced is when I went to the barber to get my afro “trimmed”. I got out of the chair looking like I was a part of the Jackson 5! It was a clean cut and beautiful for that particular moment. The following week I washed my hair and noticed that majority of my loose curls were saturated due to getting the cut. In order to fully recover my hair, I went straight to the box braid protective style, took plenty of biotin and massaged my scalp with coconut oil, to ensure it would grow back to its natural state. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? My biggest tip would be less manipulation of the hair, drink plenty of water and eat a healthy balanced diet. 14.

What was it? How did you recover from it? It's may not a tragedy but i just recently had a not so great hair situation when i bleached my hair, i wanted to go lighter in color for a very long time so i thought why not do it now, so i went totally blonde. I went to a hairsalon and after bleaching my hair i went home but at home i noticed my hair looks yellow, so i went back and they toned my hair. And then after about 5 weeks of being blonde i went to a beauty supply store bought a dark color and dyed my hair back to black. And now i'm deep conditioning as much as i can to recover from all the coloring and bleaching. Now i learned the lesson that blonde is not for me. 12. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Deep condition twice a week at least once a week, use a light weight oil every or every other night before going to bed and take some biotin or hair vitamin pills. 13. Where can we find you online?

1. What's your name and where are you from?
Isimeme Edeko; I'm from Bellwood, Illinois 2. What is your hair type? 3C (front)/ 4A (middle & back)
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
Been natural all my life, but I began my 1st attempt at a healthy hair journey my freshman year of college (2013). My college roommate was natural and very big on maintaining her hair/ keeping it healthy so, one day I just realized I’d never truly seen my hair in its natural state. Whenever I’d wash it or get it done, it’d be put into braids or flat ironed. I was interested in seeing what it would be like to truly take care of my hair the right way as well as discover my curl pattern. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging thing about going natural is finding the right products for YOUR hair and trying to overcome natural hair setbacks/ obstacles because you’re bond to run into a few during your journey, especially if it’s all new to you. Going natural is definitely a “self-taught” skill so, through trial and error, you’ll learn what’s best for you. 5. What is your weekly regimen? Tuesday = Hot Oil Treatment with JBCO/ Pre-poo with coconut oil Wednesday = Deep Condition, Co-Wash, and Style Thursday = 1st Day Hair Friday = 2nd Day Hair Saturday = 3rd Day Hair/ Refresh Style Sunday = 4th Day Hair Monday = 5th Day Hair (style is old so I’ll do a high puff most likely) Tuesday = REPEAT 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Remove silk bonnet, spritz hair with a little water, fluff with hands into my desired shape, and pick roots for volume. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? Split hair into 5 parts and wrap an ouch less ponytail holder around each section then put on bonnet. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Yes, about 3-4x a year
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Yes, I do Marley Twists on myself about twice a year. I also do cornrows on myself as a protective style frequently too (about 5-8xs a year). 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Both, but if I had to choose it’d be Denman brush! 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Normally loose, but I’m working on growing my hair out more so, I’ll probably be doing a lot more protective styles this year. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Before I went natural, I was unaware of how much heat damage I had. I used to flatiron my hair every other day basically; so after trying to figure out different ways to disguise it, I just decided to mini big chop myself that Summer (2014) after school let out. As of recently, my latest hair tragedy has been color damage in the front right side of my head, but my protein treatments and consistent hair regimen is helping that. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Develop a hair regimen and stick to it! Deep Condition weekly, always make sure your hair is moisturized when it’s starting to look brittle and dry, and TRIM WHEN NECCESSARY. I suggest learning to trim yourself because sometimes hair stylists take off more than we desire so, take things into your own hands; you know your hair more than anyone. Also, for me personally, my weekly JBCO treatments have grown my hair immensely so maybe trying that might help with growth. 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Angie and I currently live in the fabulous New York City. 2. What is your hair type? I would say it’s a mixture of 3B and 3C. I love having the two different textures because one is very defined and the other provides volume.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I big chopped all of my hair on May 30th, 2015 although I originally played with the idea back in 2010 and tried to transition but gave up after 8 months. I decided to go natural and big chop because my hair was long, yet damaged to the point of no return and I felt like I needed a fresh start. Not only that, but I also wanted to be more in touch with my true self and wanted to love myself more. I felt like going natural was a good place to start on that journey. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging thing was acceptance. I grew up with the deep rooted mentality that I had “bad hair” and that it needed to be pin straight in order to look pretty or for me to be accepted by society. It took years and years to finally arrive at the realization that I shouldn’t deny who I am in order to fit in anywhere. All things considered, I'm not upset that I didn't go natural sooner because I know that refusing to accept my hair for so long was part of my journey to self love and discovery. The challenges lie within the journey and make my story mine and unique. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I don’t currently have anything close to a regimen. I pretty much do what I feel my hair needs at the time. On some weeks I’ll wash it once, other weeks twice, other weeks not at all. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Again, nothing in particular. I style my hair depending on what’s going on with it (finger coils, wash n’ go’s, buns). 7. What is your daily night time regimen? If I have a wash n’ go or finger coils, I wear a night cap to protect the curls. If not, I usually just go to sleep with it out and on a satin pillow case. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I don’t use heat and I’m trying not to. I made the mistake of flat ironing the front of my head twice in the past year - once to put in a weave (hated it, never again!) and the other to do a length check. This made my curl patten in the front significantly looser, so I’m definitely staying away from heat for as long as I can.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I don’t braid my hair at all. However, it’s an idea I wouldn’t discard for the future when my hair is longer and maintenance becomes more time consuming. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Wide-tooth comb! I have something similar to a Denman and so far I’m not impressed. My curls don't look any more defined than when I use my fingers for shingling *shrug* Maybe when my hair gets longer, but as of now my wide tooth comb is cool. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? I like to rock it loose as much as possible. You’ll catch me in a slick puff during my “down times.” 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? No hair tragedies! *knock on wood* The closest thing was losing my hair in full strands/chunks shortly after I gave birth to my son. But nothing drastic or traumatizing, thank goodness! 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Care for it, allow it to be (don’t try to manipulate it too much), educate yourself by learning which ingredients work well with your hair type, replace your conditioners with masques/deep treatments, and pay attention to it. The way your hair reacts to how you treat it is its way of telling you what it needs (or doesn’t!) 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Aishia Strickland and I'm from Chicago...South-Side STAND UP! 2. What is your hair type? Honestly...I don't believe in hair typing...it's hella confusing and it doesn't really tell you anything about your hair's porosity or how to choose your products. When asked about my hair type I normally tell people my hair type is Cute
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I decided to go natural in June of 2011. I felt at that point that I had done EVERYTHING, I'd been short, long, bob'd and colored, I figured let me see what this natural thing is all about. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The hardest thing about going natural was trying to figure out a hair care regimen. In addition to finding out over 4 years later that everything you've been doing to care for your hair has been absolutely wrong. While YouTube and the numerous blogs centered on natural were a great resource I always felt like there was WAY too much misinformation being passed around that I just did what I felt like worked and kept it moving. 5. What is your weekly regimen? Currently since the weather is uber nice here in Chicago I've been all about the wash and go. After doing the 30dayhairdetox I've been able to get my wash and go from shampoo to style down to 30mins. I'm still tweaking my regime a bit to find what works for me....with that being said clarifying shampoo has been a game changer in my routine and is an absolute must for me weekly however with the WNG I need to refresh on day 3 or 4 and co-washing just doesn't quite work for my very dense hair. So, I'm playing with using a cream cleanser for the refresher days and we shall see how that works out. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Before showering I usually take down my pineapple and put my hair in two ponytails to bring my hair back down to gravity. After I've showered and applied my makeup I usually take the ponytails out and tousle it a bit and I'm out the door. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night I just take an elastic headband and pineapple my hair for the bed while resting my head on my satin pillowcase. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Up until recently I would get my straightened for my bi-yearly trims. Since getting my hair shaped by an experienced curl artist I now straighten whenever the mood strikes me.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Outside of flat twist or french braids I'm not much of a braid wearer. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? I am a HUGE fan of the Felicia Leatherwood Detangling Brush. It is the most amazing tool I own and I just can't stop talking about how DOPE it is to everyone I know. If detangling your hair or your child's is a pain in the ass...you need to get you one. It will change your life, your child's life and your future grandchildren's lives...I PROMISE! 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? I'm not a big fan of protective styles I like my hair roaming my scalp freely. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Yes, I've only suffered one self-inflicted hair tragedy...in 1998 I had been asking my stylist to give me this really popular hair cut, the official black girl mullet (long in the back and short at the top) my stylist kept telling me no for months and then she finally gave in. Well I got the hair cut, hated it and was right back at the salon 2 weeks later getting my hair cut into a the most fabulous bob...moral of the story; listen to your stylist! 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Being the Co-Creator of the 30dayhairdetox my biggest tip for maintaining healthy hair is to wash your damn hair...with shampoo. In addition to locking down a sound regime consisting of quality products with botanically based ingredients. Ditch all the heavy oils and butters and really learn how to Cleanse, Condition and Style your hair! 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Briana Lynee (pronounced LIN-NAY) and I am from Maryland. 2. What is your hair type? My hair type is 3C.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went Natural in 2009 in highschool. I realized my hair was so thin from all the heat and perms so I decided to stop the perms and go natural. However, it wasn’t until 2012 my Freshman Year in college that I became knowledgeable of what works for my hair and how to properly care for it. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? I used to find it difficult in styling my hair in my natural state compared to just using heat and keeping my hair straight. This was a learning experience but I am proud to stay that I got it all under control now. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I use the L.O.C. Method every two days. I moisturize my hair on Sundays and I wont touch it again until Tuesday with a cowash followed by moisturizing. Then from Tuesday I will repeat the same steps on Friday. Sunday I will deep condition my hair and then moisturize it and repeat these steps. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? I am used to wearing my hair in a bun. So I use my choice of gel for the day followed by edge control and keep my hair up in a bun. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night I follow the L.O.C. Method and braid or twist my hair so in the morning I will take it out and style it in my bun as my go to style for during the weekdays. On the weekends I wear my hair out. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I will use heat on my hair in June and in December to keep my use of heat spaced out. I am enjoying embracing my naturalness.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I don’t get my hair braided ever. I may decided to get it braided once every 2 years just cause I hate sitting for so long. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? I would prefer a Wide-Tooth Comb just because its easier to detangle the hair. You can always use your hands to evenly distribute product so the Denman Brush isn’t always necessary. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is in a protective style majority of the time. I wear my hair in a bun to keep my ends protected. Wearing your hair in a bun eliminates the chances of your hair rubbing against anything and keeps it off your neck.I only wear it loose during a special event and mainly on the weekends. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Sometimes when I put my hair in bantu knots or try to do a twist out it doesn’t always work out. In crunch time I style in an up-do that is still cute and classy. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Its so important to keep your hair moisturized. Water is the key to growth and oil will become your best friend while being used at the sealant to keep your moisture in. 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).
