1. What's your name and where are you from?
Hi, my name is Wendy Joseph and I live in New Jersey but was born in Haiti. 2. What is your hair type? I have a mixture of of 4A and 4B hair with 4A being more towards the middle and front.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural four and a half years ago in September of 2011. I had an adverse reaction to an at home protein treatment leaving my scalp uncontrollable dry and my edges quickly deteriorated. My dermatologist gave me a foam for the dandruff and asked that I come back to have a biopsy of my scalp done. That was when I realized that I needed to change my lifestyle and really start taking care of myself. My first step was to cut the chemicals out of my hair. So I did! I secretly cut all of my hair off! One of my best decisions to date. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Being afraid of not being accepted by societies standards of beauty. Initially, I had a rough time with my family accepting the fact that I cut all of my hair off. Their initial negative reaction led me to believe that that’s how everyone else would view me. Causing me to hide my hair under wigs and weaves for almost my entire first year. One day, something snapped and I no longer cared. I finally wore my hair out and everyone loved it. I realized that I never gave them a chance to see my hair short or properly educated them on the reasons why I went natural. They just assumed I went Britney Spears circa 2007 when she seemingly went off the deepend and shaved her head. Funny thing is, most of family are now natural. 5. What is your weekly regimen? My weekly regimen has pretty much been the same for the past couple of years:
6. What is your daily morning regimen? When wearing a wash and go: I leave my hair out while taking a shower so that water splashes the hair and it absorbs the moisture in the air. Protective style: I wear a bonnet and shower cap while showering and use sheen spray to brighten up my locs. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I do not have a specific nighttime regimen other than to sleep with a bonnet or head scarf on. For my wash and go, I either put my hair in a pineapple or four big twist before bed. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I rarely use heat. I do heatless stretching methods and air dry my hair when doing protective styles. You can read more about this on my blog or view videos on my my youtube channel. My hair seems be very sensitive to heat causing extensive shedding and heat damage.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I do braid my hair. About once a year I’ll get braids with hair added and a couple times a year I twist or braid my natural hair. Sometimes my hair just needs a break from constant styling. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Definitely a wide-tooth comb! The denman brush creates a longer detangling process for me. I am able to get through detangling my hair fairly quickly with the wide-tooth comb. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is usually loose for the bulk of the year. I love being natural and enjoying the hair that I’ve worked so hard to grow and keep healthy! 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? You won’t believe this..but I did it again! Another horrific at home protein treatment last year almost left me with no hair! I mixed an egg, mayo, avocado, and coconut oil together and left in my hair for about an hour or so. I was at my friends house who didn't have enough conditioner for my wild hair. So, I rinsed out my concoction and went to bed. The very next morning my hair started shedding like crazy! So much so that I broke down in tears. This went on for months and months. I believe my poor rinse job led to this disaster. I saved my hair by wearing nothing but protective styles for almost four months. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair?

1. What's your name and where are you from?
Hello, my name is Alika White and I'm from Connecticut. 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 decided to go natural in 2014. At the time I had a really short haircut that I didn't like. I was just over my relaxed hair. A friend of mine was a couple of months natural and told me I should try being natural too and I did. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Honestly just being comfortable in my own skin. I cut my hair really low and was afraid I was going to look like a boy. Also figuring out what works for my hair texture and type. I'm still learning what works best for me. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I co-wash and deep condition once a week. When I'm styling my hair depending on the style I'll use gel or heavy butters. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Depending on the style for example a wash n go, I'll spray my hair with water give it a lil shake and be on my way. If I have extra time I like to sit under my hair steamer to get rid of the flatness and to provide extra moisture. If I'm wearing a twist out I'll just fluff my hair, lay down my edges and that's it. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night I'll re-twist my hair if needed with a little bit of product. Or I'll put my hair into mini pineapples, throw on my satin bonnet and go to sleep. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I've only used heat on my hair 2 times since being natural. One time when I wanted to stretch my hair and another time when I straightened it for my two year natural anniversary.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I wish I could. I'm currently learning from YouTube lol. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Denman brush. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Loose. Looking into protective styling this summer. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Yes unfortunately. I tried to color my hair using a honey blonde dark n lovely hair dye and it ended up turning a orange uneven color. Yes I know your suppose to wait at least 2 weeks to dye your hair again but I just couldn't go around looking crazy. I dyed my hair at least 3 times that week just to get it back to normal. In the end I knew my hair would not recover from all the dye jobs I did in that one week so I big chopped again. Luckily I was only about 4 months natural since I big chopped so I didn't have to cut off a ton of hair. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? My biggest tip for maintaining healthy hair is moisture and most definitely patience. Learn what works for your hair and your texture. Even better find out what your hair porosity is. Knowing that alone can help you choose the right products to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy. Oh and one more thing always remember health or length. Don't hold on to straggly damaged ends. It will only hurt you in the long run. 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

I do not leave my hair in braids however I do style my hair with a braid out set as a protective style and to elongate my curls. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush?

1. What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Shalana (SHUH-Lane-UH), and I am from South Carolina. 2. What is your hair type? Mostly 4a with a tiny bit of 3c.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
Well, I didn’t get my first relaxer until I was 13 (2004) so I was well aware of my hair’s thickness and length potential. I kept up with my relaxed hair until 2011, and after 4 months of transitioning I did my first big chop (currently growing out big chop number 3 from 2014). I went back to natural because I was tired of my boring, straight hair. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? I didn’t/don’t find going natural challenging. 5. What is your weekly regimen? Depending on the week, I alternate between co-washing and shampooing. After cleansing my hair, I use the LOC method to retain moisture, and lastly I style my hair for the week. I’m really into braid outs at the moment. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Remove my satin bonnet, shake, fluff, and go! If needed, I’ll refresh my hair with a light mist of water and a light oil. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I just stuff my loose hair into my satin bonnet most nights, but occasionally I will do medium to large braids or twists and then put on my bonnet or scarf. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Yes, but not often. I flat iron my hair once or twice a year.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Yes, I think braids are a great protective style. I may braid my hair two or three times within a year. I would like for it to be braided up more often, but it takes a while to do and I start to miss my hair soon after it’s braided (the struggle lol). 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Wide-tooth comb. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is loose about 90% of the time. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Nope, I’ve never had a hair tragedy. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? My biggest tip for maintaining healthy hair is consistency. Find products and a regimen that works for you. As far as long hair, with health comes length. You have to be patient and not focus on the length of your hair. Protective styling and protecting your hair with a satin bonnet, scarf, or pillowcase also helps with length retention. 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 Sabrina Greene and I’m from Alexandra, Virginia (DMV area). 2. What is your hair type? Overall I would say i'm 3C type.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural in November 2015. I big chopped after transitioning for 11 months. Prior to going natural, I started to dislike my relaxed hair. That straight, damaged, lifeless mess was boring. I noticed that I loved the thick and natural curly look. Every naturalista I would see, I would compliment. Then I thought, what the hell! Girl, go natural! Never in a million years would I have believed I was hiding such beautiful curls! 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Deciding to cut when I did. I originally planned to transition for a year and a half, but was tired of dealing with the two different textures whenever I would take a protective style out. So, I cut sooner than I planned. My hair was long all my life. So to go from long hair to basically a couple of inches of hair was shocking but I loved it. I embraced it and in the end was happy with the decision I made. Cutting my hair sooner allowed me to learn what products worked for me etc. Also, it helped step my makeup game up, lol… Couldn’t have a short 'do without a lightly beat face. 5. What is your weekly regimen? If my hair is not in a protective style (i.e. braids or cornrows) I deep condition once a week, do a wash&go and when it gets old I just wear my hair in a high bun for the remainder of the week. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Add a little water maybe leave conditioner to a previous wash&go, fluff hair out with my hands and last, add jojoba oil to seal in moisture. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? Throw a bonnet on and go to sleep. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Only time I use heat is: before getting box braids (my hair gets blow dried before braiding), when deep conditioning (sitting under hooded dryer) and when I diffuse (low heat or cool setting).
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I get my hair braided about 2-3 times a year. I leave braids in for no longer than 2 months. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? I use a wide-tooth comb when detangling in the shower. I purchased a denman brush but haven’t put it to use yet because my curls define when I rake leave-in conditioner in with my fingers. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? When it’s cold, in a protective style most of the time. When it's warmer I like to wash&go. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? No, I haven’t. Newly natural so… Was thinking about color but scared it will ruin my curl pattern. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Deep condition weekly, moisturize daily, protective styles, trim when needed and patience. 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 Shar’del Haden and I am from White Plains, MD. At least that’s where I currently live! 2. What is your hair type? I am somewhere in-between a 3C and 4A, depends on the the day!
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I stopped relaxing my hair about 3 years ago, but didn’t really start taking care of my natural hair until a year after that. The reason I stopped getting relaxers was because I started getting sew-ins. I didn’t see the point of relaxing my hair if i was just going to braid it up. What made me embrace my natural hair was really research. I started watching natural hair videos on youtube and thought Hey I can do that! So after that I let the naturalness take over! 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? I found figuring out the type of hair I have and what it needed was the hardest for me when going natural. After watching so many videos I had to think about that my hair needed. Seeing so many products made it a little hard to decipher what was good for my hair and what wasn’t. Trial and Error! 5. What is your weekly regimen? My weekly regimen is to make sure I co wash twice a week. I deep condition over night one of those days. The other day I use the baggy method overnight. I normally keep the styling easy. A twist out or wash n go. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Most days Im in the house for the majority of the day. I just make sure I moisturize my hair at some point throughout the day. It’s almost always in a pineapple. So I spray some light leave-in in it and add my choice of oil for the day. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night, if its not a wash night for me, I moisturize and pineapple my hair. Very simple. I use my satin/silk scarf to pineapple it. Then I sleep on my satin/silk pillow case. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? The only time I apply heat to my hair is when Im diffusing my wash n go. I use low warm heat, and I only do it for about 15-20 minutes. Then I allow it to dry on its own for the rest of the time.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I braid my hair probably once a year. It is normally during the beginning of the summer. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Though I love my denman brush I have recently been using my wide tooth comb more often. I find the detangling to be mush easier and less fall out. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is normally loose. I enjoy the almost weightless feel of my hair on my head. lol 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? I’ve never really had something happen to my hair that was devastating. The closest thing to a tragedy I can think of is the condition of my hair before I started taking care of it correctly. It was the most driest I had ever felt and the ugliest if I so say so myself. Once I realized that just putting a wig over it was obviously not helping, I did some research and brought the right products for my hair. Best thing Ive ever done for my hair! 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? I know many naturals say this but MOISTURE MOISTURE MOISTURE! I can’t stress it enough. Keep that hair moisturized from the beginning to the ends. Thats the only way to retain length. 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
I’m Colleen and I’m from Jamaica, Queens baby! 2. What is your hair type? I am mainly a kinky-coily low porosity type 4b hair type at the crown and edges and an S-curl type 4a around the perimeter.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
Chime aka HairCrush was my biggest hairspiration and curiosity. Her hair was amazingness and I kinda hoped mine looked the same. It was TOTALLY different but cool nonetheless plus, I really wanted to see what my texture looked like. I first attempted to transition in 2010 and made it 11 months then relaxed because I couldn’t take it any longer. In 2011, I tried again and ended up doing the big chop 6 months post. I haven’t looked back since. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Working with my hair texture was difficult while it was short. I felt so self-conscious, I wore hats for almost a year. And because I was low porosity, trying things other naturals were doing just didn’t work. When I gained length is when I finally started enjoying the process more. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I’m mainly a roller set/straight/stretched natural so during that time, I wash my hair every two weeks. I wash twice for really clean debris free hair, deep condition ALWAYS, add leave in and roller set. Then I’ll either leave the set, flat iron or bun it up. On my kinky days (wink), I wash every week. I wash and deep condition, add leave in and style. I usually style with grease. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? I absolutely have none. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I absolutely have none. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? All the time. I’m not afraid of heat because I know how to properly use heat in a way to flourish my hair. It’s sad that some naturals get burned (pun intended) and shun heat. For my 4b hair, it’s the easiest way to retain length.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I don’t very often because I have weak edges but I’d like to start crochet braiding for a hair break. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? A Denman Brush. I can’t roller set or achieve maximum definition without it. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? As a mom, my hair is just all over the place! It’ll be in a messy bun, a loose pony, haphazard French braids, under a hat. I do whatever I can do to prevent my son from literally snatching my edges. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Oh yes. A year natural, I had a big event I wanted to look “polished” for so I went to the Dominican salon to get a blow out. My hair was pressed to the gawds but oh my goodness, my hair smelled so burnt! When it came time to wash out the press, the smell intensified, my curls would not revert and my hair even switched colors. It was a sad, sad time in my journey. I should’ve known better too because when I walked in the salon with my hair in a frizzy puff, all the stylists were like “you do her”, “no, I’m busy, Maggie, you gonna take her?” I felt so ashamed. Like I had a problem head and no one wanted to touch it. Ugh, never again. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair?

1. What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Soraja and I'm from The Netherlands. 2. What is your hair type? 4a
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
My oldest daughter inspired me to set an example. From the age of 2 my daughter was telling me she wanted hair just like her mommy (relaxed hair) it broke my heart seeing that I was continuing the cycle. I kept telling her that her hair was beautiful. That she in fact had my hair. That my 'real' hair looked like hers. She didn't get it (I didn't either). So when she was 5 I told her I was going to grow my hair out and show her that she has hair like her mommy and that it was beautiful just the way it is. And to be honest, that's when she started to love hers. She no longer longs for straight hair. Everytime I try and use the blow dryer she'll ask me: 'your not going to straighten it right?! Good cuz I don't want my hair to get damaged!' I love my hair just the way it is. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Getting used to short natural hair and finding hairstyles that suited me. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I shampoo, deepcondition, detangle and moisturize weekly. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Fluff my hair into shape. lol takes me 5 minutes to do my hair on a daily basis. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I always tie my hair with a satin scarf before bedtime. thats it. i don't retwist or restyle my hair. low manipulation is key. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I do. mostly indirect heat like a hooded dryer to dry my hair after styling. I sometimes use direct heat when I do a blowout but I always use is on cold/medium setting. Heatdamage is real!
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I braid my hair 3 times a year. mostly in the winter time and summer time, when I go on vacation. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Detangling brush. lol I swear by it. it doesn't snag and reduces breakage to a minimum. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Loose most of the times. I love wash n go's and twist outs. they're my favorite hairstyles. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? No I didn't. I do everything to prevent that, like not flat ironing my hair EVER, no coloring and no tight hairstyles that can damage my edges. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? LOW MANIPULATION is key. you don't need pills, expensive products etc. I manipulate my hair once a week and thats my biggest secret to my rapid hair growth and health. The more often you manipulate your hair (detangle, straighten, style etc.) the more breakage you create, the less length you retain. Want to see growth? Stop manipulating your hair. 14.
