1. What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Marcia. I was born and raised in Louisiana but currently reside in Texas. 2. What is your hair type? My hair type is 3c.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
In 2009, I decided I was tired of my straightened hair. I wanted the curls that I had as a little girl back. Prior to beginning my natural hair journey, I was not aware of the term "natural hair." I did not know I had to stop relaxing my hair (transition) or chop it off (big chop) until I came across Taren Guy on YouTube. I did much research but still was hesitant. It wasn't until 2011 that my two close cousins told me that they were making the decision to return natural and it was then much easier to take the journey with them. I did my first big chop in 2011! Nothing's been the same since lol. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The first year after big chopping was the hardest. Learning new styles, trying to perfect twist outs, was no walk in the park. It took about 3 years to finally get a perfect twist out. Family def had alot to say and I continued to tell them that once it would grow that they would like it. Having the support is important but I always tell ladies to do what's best for you. Forget what everyone says or think, you know?! I've had several big chops since my first, so I obviously did not care about how others felt about MY hair but he support would have been nice. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I shampoo AND condition once weekly! Yes, I shampoo! Co washing is good for those who wash there hair more then once a week but I use shampoo to keep my scalp clean! Conditioner does not do that as I was a co washer for a couple of years. In my opinion, hair should be shampooed once a week, as this provides a clear and healthy scalp for hair growth. Sometimes using conditioner to wash hair can result in product buildup on scalp, preventing hair growth. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Honestly, Mondays through Fridays I'm rocking two French braids and I bobby pin them up so that they aren't hanging on my neck. I have to do this for work everyday! Also, less hair manipulation, which can also result in hair growth! Weekends I let my hair breathe. I usually wash and go or shingles. I use Tresemme dee cleanse shampoo and Tresemme Naturals conditioner. Camille Rose Naturals Curl Love for moisture and sometimes I add Camille Rose Fresh Curl to the ends of my hair. And finger foil the ends. I let air dry for 30 and then maybe diffuse or just use Afro pick once it's 90% dry for fullest. I also make some of my own products. I use the hair butter I make to rebraid my braids everyday during the week. I also make a hair oil that I apply to scalp twice a week (another reason I like to shampoo). 7. What is your daily night time regimen? Monday through Friday I'll throw on a satin scarf. When I my hair is out, I will use pineapple method. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Yes, when I decide to diffuse and I flat iron my hair about 3 times a year.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Yes, mentioned above! :-) I do not do box braids, my scalp is too sensitive for braids. But I love market or Havana twists. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Fingers for detangling! Wide tooth comb to finish it off, denman brush only for curl definition because lawd my curls shrink too much after using that brush! Then I look like curly sue. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Also, mentioned above! Protective style baby! 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Yes, bleach hair! It was gorgeous but after so long I noticed that my curls were not as defined as before so I decided to big chop again in November 2013 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Be patient! To those that big chop, it's ok to have hair goals, hair crush, etc, but everyone's hair is different. Do not get upset that your hair does not look like or isn't as long as the next chick. Just be patient and take monthly selfies lol. But serious! Take monthly selfies and keep progress of your hair growth and be your own hair crush! 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 Carlencia Gray and I am from Galveston, TX, USA. 2. What is your hair type? My hair texture is a mixture of all in the Type 4 category: 4a, 4b, 4c.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I decided to stop relaxing my hair in 2012. During an attempt to stretch my relaxer I noticed my natural texture and became curious. I fell in love with it and never relaxed again. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? I would say figuring out what worked best for my hair was the most challenging for me. But over time and I discovered a regimen and which products work great for my hair. 5. What is your weekly regimen? Every week I shampoo, deep condition, and then I moisturized using the liquid/leave-in, oil, and cream method before styling. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? I typically just fluff my hair and go. If I add anything to my hair it would be coconut oil for added shine and softness. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I place my hair in about 4-6 ponytails then cover with a satin bonnet. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Yes. I only straighten my hair twice a year. But I do use a soft bonnet hair dryer to dry my hair every time I style it. My hair is way too thick for air drying in a timely manner.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I only braid my hair for braid outs. Which is very often. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Both! I couldn't live without my wide-tooth comb or denman brush. I will say that the denman works best for detangling. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is usually loose. I love flaunting my hair! I like to wear protective styles during the fall. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? I can honestly say that I haven't had a hair tragedy since I've been natural. While relaxed, I once got a comb stuck in my hair and the only way to remove it was with scissors. So I ended up with a new hair cut to even the length :-( 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Keep your hair moisturized and deep condition regularly 14.

1. What's your name and where are you from?
Hi!! My name is Mary Taylor aka “MsNaturallymary” on most of my social media (: I am a North Carolina Native who has recently made Houston, Texas my home. 2. What is your hair type? I believe I am a 4b.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I actually transitioned for about 6 months and big chopped in the bathroom of my sister’s home after going to dinner with her and her husband. It was on April 14, 2012. I recall having a conversation over dinner with the two of them about going natural and deciding that night that I would do it. Her husband embraced the idea of my sister going natural. He shared with the both of us that we are both beautiful, and that whoever I am meant to be with, he will also embrace my hair in whatever state it is in. I was super nervous about the whole idea of cutting off all my hair! Prior to this event, I said I would never ever big chop. I felt that women who big chopped were super brave and that I just didn't have the courage to do it. I, also could not envision myself with such short hair. I felt that others would look at me funny or that it would reduce my chances of being able to find love. However, that evening, I don't know what came over me.. I somehow just picked up the scissors and went to work. And Believe it or not, I thought that my texture would be amazing! Remarkable even.. Especially after following several youtube vlogger’s journey who had also big chopped… Seeing how curly and voluminous their hair was.. I thought mine would look the same…. Well, mine was the exact opposite. lol After, I cut my hair I could not figure out how to get it curly.. My hair was also very dry. It felt like a Brillo soap pad. lol I had no idea what to do with it…It was too short to do a twist out or anything because I only had about an inch of hair.. I remember panicking… Having to go to work the next morning was the scariest thing ever! The thought of having to stand in front of my students or even pass my colleagues in the hall made me very nervous. I thought, what have I done?? And the next day… Boy, did I get looks. I remember one of my students saying “ Ms. Taylor, Why did you cut your hair?? You look like a boy!” So, of course, my already bruised self esteem at the time, was even more blemished. That same day I called a friend to beg her to install braids in my hair! I got those installed, wore them for about a month and continued to wear protective styles such as weave. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The unknown… Not know how I’d like it, what my texture would be, and how others would respond to this new look. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I currently wash every one to two weeks. I always deep condition when I wash my hair. Wash day at a glance consists of washing my hair with apple cider vinegar, co-washing with Herbal essence hello hydration and deep conditioning with a mixture of hello hydration, an egg, olive oil, and honey. My hair loves it! I actually have not been wearing my hair out that much lately. I’ve been on a protective style challenge for the last 5 months. I just recently began to wear my hair out again for the holidays and sometimes on the weekends. But, I will continue protective style with wigs. My go to style as of late has been a twist and curl when my hair is out. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Because I am in protective style mode, it is very basic.. I take down the two flat twists I did in the front the night before, give my wig a good shake and proceed to blend lol Protective styling has made my life pretty easy and my units have become my best friends (: 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night, I simply remove my unit, spray a mix of water and aloe vera juice on my hair that will be under the wig cap on a daily basis, and apply coconut oil. I try to really focus on my ends during this process. As far as my leave out goes, I spray the mix of water and aloe vera juice on my hair, apply coconut curling cream, along with olive oil eco styler gel, do a flat twist on each side, wrap my hair with a satin scarf and I’m ready for bed. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Using heat on my hair is very rare. I got my first professional flat iron last year on my birthday, which was in july and I have not used heat since then; until maybe december when I did a blow out.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Although, I have worn braids at the beginning of my journey, I typically wear Marley twists as a protective style, which I do myself. The only time I braid my hair is when I’m attempting to do a braid out or when I’m feeling lazy after washing my hair and decide to do two large braids to wear under my units. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? I’d have to say wide tooth comb. Although I use a denman from time to time, I don’t use it often as it causes a great deal of friction, which can contribute to breakage.. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Definitely in a protective do. Although I love loose styles, I have a hair goal in mind, so I am doing what’s necessary to achieve that goal. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? OK. I’m actually a bit afraid to admit this. But, early in my journey I had a rather interesting experience with nail glue. As I stated earlier, I did a great deal of protective styling very early in my journey. When I say protective styling, I am referring to wearing braids and weaves. I actually never used to wear weave prior to my natural hair journey. Therefore, I was a novice to all the ins and outs of installing weave. Well, I was planning to do a u part wig, with a closure that would be glued on to my hair. I had gone to the beauty supply store to purchase hair and all the materials needed to begin this project. I asked the clerk for hair glue and I trusted that’s what I was given. So I got home and I was super excited about attempting this process. I had watched a really good tutorial on the install and felt liberated that I was going to be doing it for my first time. Thankfully, the hair glue was only intended for the closure area. Well, I completed the part and was in the process of doing the closure.. I felt really good about it until one of my friends, who had soon arrived for a rehearsal that we were having at my sisters house, entered the bathroom, picked up the bottle and said “Uummm Mary, do you realize you are putting nail glue in your hair??” I thought, Oh my Lord!! I panicked. I was so excited and also oblivious, that I didn't even read the bottle. I trusted that the clerk gave me what I needed.. After all.. I had never dealt with weave or any products related to having weave.. I felt like an idiot to say the least.. Our rehearsal turned into a session or everyone helping to figure out how to remove the nail glue out of my hair. That was the worst experience ever. I never did that again. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? I believe that protective styling has been my saving grace. Almost 70% of my journey has included protective styling. I also try my best to make sure that my hair is well moisturized. I do believe that my hair could be much longer after 2 yrs and 8 months. Especially after observing the journey of other naturals.. But, I have to remind myself that everyone’s hair doesn't grow at the same pace. But, I believe diet and exercise would really benefit my hair more. I plan to include that a lot more in year 3. Also, patience and some good old TLC (tender love and care). 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
Hey there, I’m Andrea and I’m from Houston, Texas, USA. 2. What is your hair type? I’m actually not to sure exactly but probably in the 4a area. I have a few different patterns like most naturals so I can’t just pick one.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural a little over three years ago. I was tired of getting relaxers and constantly damaging and putting harmful chemicals in my hair. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Probably trying to style both my new growth and relaxed ends. I got frustrated from time to time when styles didn’t come out the way I wanted to. Also, finding the right products to use after my big chop was a lot of trial and error. It got easier once I found a regimen and good products. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I actually have a video up on my YouTube channel with all the steps and products! But I’ll wash (shampoo + condition), deep condition, apply a leave-in then comb out my hair. I’ll apply whatever butter and gel I’m using at the time and then braid my hair for a braid out. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? I’ll apply a dab of oil through out my hair and shake it out and then pick at the roots for volume. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I’ll either use the Pineapple method or just put my hair in two loose ponytails. I sleep on a satin pillowcase so I won’t put on a satin cap, but I do wear it when I’m not sleeping on a satin case. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I try not to, I’ve gone a little over three years without straightening it. I do blow it out every couple of months but on low heat.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Only for braid outs, I’ve tried french braiding my hair but because of how thick my hair is it never comes out as smooth as I want it to. I have been itching to try braids with extensions like Solange wears. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Neither! I use a tangle teezer, it works great since I am tender headed. I’ll only use a wide tooth in the shower when my hair is soaking wet. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Loose, it’s gotten long enough for me to do a big puff, so I’ll do that when my hair is getting closer to wash day. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Not really, the closest thing would probably be after I lifted my color and had it dyed to a honey blondish color and it faded to orange. I still cringe looking at older photos of it. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Find styles and products that work for you! Everyone has different hair types, genes, and tons of other health factors that go into how long/healthy your hair is. I try my best to use as much natural products as I can and be healthy when it comes to eating and my lifestyle. 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

Hi, I'm Alfreda and I'm from Nigeria but reside in Texas. 2. What is your hair type? I have various textures, 3B-4B and some fuzz lol
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I got my last relaxer 07/2010, because my guard and band camp schedule was to hectic and sweaty to let me get one. Fast forward to 01/11, I washed my hair after taking down braids I'd had for two months, then felt and saw something that BLEW my mind! I had about four inches of curly roots and I loved it! I didn't know what natural hair was or that I could maintain hair without a relaxer, so I was quite impressed. I left it with the straight ends till 10/2011, then I shaved my hair off to start college. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? For me it was not having a clue what to do with my hair and how to care for it. I remember for the first eight months after my BC, I used only shampoo and olive oil. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I co-wash my hair in 5 sections 2-5 times a week using Silkience or the vo5 kiwi-lime clarifying conditioner,finger detangle and rinse, then apply a rinse out conditioner (currently using Pantene Curl Perfection Moisturizing Conditioner), rinse apply some silkience and seal with my shea butter or oil mix, then style. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? If my hair is in a loose style, I just apply some shea butter or Crisco shortening on it, then shape it. if it's textured, I spritz it with water, then apply some shea butter or conditioner and coconut oil. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I really don't have one, but if my hair is a bit dry at night, I add a little bit of moisture to it(water or conditioner). I always sleep on satin pillows, so I don't have to remember to put on a bonnet or scarf, or worry about my pillowcase sliding off. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I recently just flat ironed my hair for the first time in a year. so I would say rarely.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Yes, I'd say about twice a year for a period of 20 - 30 days. 10 Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? I use both, it just depends on what I'm doing. I use a wide tooth come on my stretched hair, and a denman on my textured hair. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? It's normally loose. I absolutely love the textured look, but I do wear my hair in twists occasionally. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? I recently had some brazilian hair installed, but I didn't know it wasn't washed after being processed. so my scalp reacted to it, leaving me with chemical burns. At first I thought it was dandruff, so I used some medicated shampoo not knowing I wasn't supposed to rinse and repeat. Soon after clumps of curls started falling out from the roots. To resolve this, I co-washed everyday that week, and applied some Softee mango butter and coconut oil to the affected areas. Problem solved 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? You have to be patient with it, show it some TLC and try not to overdo it. 14. Where can we find you online?
