1. What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Shaqwania Dixon also known as Naturalista4me. I am from Vidalia Georgia, home of the sweet Vidalia Onions! I currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia. 2. What is your hair type? I have 4c hair.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I began transitioning back to natural in 2012 and I did my big chop in July of 2013. I really wasn't planning (at first) to be natural, it just turned into that. My husband and I were expecting our son and I made the decision to not relax my hair for the entire pregnancy. I then made the decision to not relax my hair ever again and so my natural hair journey began along with my journey to truly loving myself as I am. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging thing was learning how to be comfortable with wearing my natural hair. I love hair and the challenges there of so caring for my hair is not a problem, being able to face those who had an opinion about my natural hair was another story. I have always been the type of person who didn't like to be put on the spot or bring attention to myself but once I returned to natural, I started to get a lot of stares and a few unwanted hurtful opinions. I am completely over that stage now. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I have simplified my regimen a lot. I cowash one to two times a week depending on the hairstyle that I am wearing. I will shampoo if I have a lot of product buildup. I deep condition once a week if my hair really needs it. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? I remove my satin cap and sprits my hair with water and apply a moisturizing cream. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I massage my scalp and lightly sprits my hair with water and cover with a satin cap. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I rarely use heat. I once received a blow out followed by flat iron and a split end trimming. I also have sat under a hooded dryer for a twist out and roller set. I am not against heat; I just prefer not to use it.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I braid my hair down for crochet installments and when wearing a braid out. I do not do it often so I would say one to two times a year. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Although I have both I rarely use them. I work with my fingers mostly. If I had to choose one to work with I usually use the wide tooth comb. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is now in a tapered cut so I wear it loose mostly. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? I have to be honest and say that I was the reason for my hair going through a period of excess shedding and breakage. I was going through a stressful time and my hair wasn't responding to well. I did recover from it once I made the decision to overcome that situation and not mellow in it and allow it to control my happiness. When you are stressed it can change your appetite and can also cause health issues. I am now happy because I have made the CHOICE to be and my hair is doing great! 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Take care of yourself and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! 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 Charity and I was born in paradise, also known as the Caribbean island of Antigua. 2. What is your hair type? When it comes to hair typing my hair is somewhere between 4b and 4c (closer to 4c). My hair is also low porosity so maintaing moisture is a big challenge.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural in August of 2013. Honestly I’d never really thought about going natural until I’d already big chopped! It’s a really long story but here’s the very condensed version I dyed my hair at home, it fell out, I big chopped and then fell in love with my natural texture. Lol! 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging thing about going natural was and still is learning what my natural hair likes and what it despises. That includes products, techniques, hair styles and styling tools! It’s definitely a journey! 5. What is your weekly regimen? Unless I’m wearing protective style with added hair I prepoo using a mixture of oils, cowash using Tresemme Naturals and deep condition (with heat) weekly. If I’m wearing a protective style I clean and oil my scalp weekly. If my hair is in need of a good cleanse I use a DIY African Black soap cleanser. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? Mornings are easy because my hair is in a low manipulation or protective style 90% of the time. I spritz my hair with water and seal with oil (olive or castor). I make sure to moisturise and seal my hair line and edges using the L.O.C method. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night I follow the same procedure that I do in the morning and cover my hair with a satin cap. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Since going natural I have not used heat on my hair. Mmmm I may have blow dried my hair with warm air one time!
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Yes! I love braids. I prefer to use yarn to do the extensions and braid my hair around 4 or 5 times a year. I make sure that I take really good care of my natural hair while it’s in a protective style. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Neither! I like using my fingers but if I must use a tool I reach for my paddle brush. I find that it doesn’t rip or pull at my hair as much as other tools. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is in a low manipulation or protective style about 90% of the time! It saves me lots of time and energy. My hair thrives when I do protective styles. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? The only hair tragedy I’ve ever had was that at home colour job that went very wrong. I simply bit the bullet and shaved my head. Best hair decision I’ve ever made! 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? The biggest tip for maintaining my hair and for keeping it healthy is MOISTURE, MOISTURE, and MOISTURE!!! Keeping my hair moisturised is my biggest challenge but if I do it properly and consistently my hair flourishes! 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
I’m Annisa LiMara and I’m originally from Jackson, Mississippi but currently reside in Baltimore, Maryland. 2. What is your hair type? 4a/4b
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural almost 10 years ago because my hair was damaged and breaking off due to excessive relaxer and color treatments. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Trying to continuously control the frizz because the first 7 years I mainly kept my hair flat ironed which caused a lot of heat damage. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I wash and deep condition every week and do a steam or hot oil treatment every other week. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? I recently shaved my hair off so I just add a little oil or pomade, brush and go…it takes literally one minute! Some days I do nothing! 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I go to sleep or if I’m not being lazy, I’ll add some grapeseed oil, brush and put on a headscarf or “du rag”. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Only when using my handheld steamer, before I cut it, I used a diffuser minimally.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I used to maybe once or twice a year, but it was more so Havana twists or something similar versus braids. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Denman brush! If you use more than enough product it helps define curls so much easier combined with finger combing. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? I almost always where it loose or as is; protective styles are very rare for me. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Yes! A few years ago, I went to the salon to get my bob cut a little shorter and the hairstylist botched the back of my head. My hair was so short that I had to go to another stylist to fix it and she ended up having to cut ALL my hair off. It was basically a big chop and I was devastated because I never had short hair. It ended up growing out healthier, fuller and my curls were really defined so it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Only a few years later I now have my hair shaved and absolutely love it! 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Moisturize correctly and be consistent. Our hair needs constant moisture and care in order to be healthy or grow long so developing a consistent and effective hair routine helps with both. 14. Where can we find you online?

1. What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Asha and I'm from the UK. I'm of Afro-Trinidadian descent and I was lucky enough to live in Trinidad from the age of 12-19. Now I live in the Netherlands, where I’m a student. 2. What is your hair type? Hmmm… I'd say I'm a 4b/4c natural. There have been a few comments about this on my channel because some of my fans think my texture is only 4c. They're right in that I do have 4c hair. In fact, that's mainly what they see since the hair at the sides is 4c in texture. However, on my crown the pattern is 4b and right at the back it's 4a and even a little 3c.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
My last relaxer was in July 2009 and I big chopped in April 2010. It was exceedingly random, I was browsing through weave videos and I was directed to Rustic Beauty. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Definitely learning to detangle my dense, coily, unruly tresses. Even after 3 years natural, with waist length hair, I struggled to detangle my hair. It would sometimes take WEEKS! My hair is rather dense and coily. Luckily, last year Naptural85 released a video in which she showed how she detangled her hair in 25 minutes. I knew that that would be impossible for me but I was able to cut down my detangling time to about 1-2 hours, depending on the state of my hair. Now that I've got better at detangling, I've a lot less to complain about with regards to my hair. In fact, I'm a lot happier about it overall. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I have more of a fortnightly regimen to be honest. Normally, I don't do too much in between wash days (which occur every 2 weeks). Here’s a typical régime involving blowdrying.
6. What is your daily morning regimen? I barely have one! I just wake up and go on most days since my hair is normally in plaits or twists. If I want to wear it out, I loosen the plaits (moisturised from the night before) and go. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night I normally prepare my hair for the next day. I tend to moisturise every other night. I ALWAYS wear a satin bonnet to bed. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I do! I like to straighten my hair and blowdry it. Keeping it blowdried is a good way to prevent knots. I'm always really gentle when I style it.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Nope. I haven't braided my hair since I was transitioning. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? DEFINITELY a wide-tooth shower comb. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair tends to be protected in the winter. This entails my wearing a hat whenever I'm outside (over a satin bonnet) and having the ends stretched, normally in plaits or twists. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? I've been really careful. I think my tragedy was not knowing how to detangle my hair and having it get all matted. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? I'd say LEAVE YOUR HAIR ALONE as much as you can! 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
Luyando Handia, and I'm Zambian 2. What is your hair type? 4b/c
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I officially went natural in April 2012. I didn't really think I would, but I stopped getting a relaxer because it was too much to keep up with. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? Trying to figure out what worked for my hair. It's not easy to go from straight to kinky with no guidance. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I tend to go with the flow. I try to wash my hair weekly, but I seldom get around to it. I moisturize 3 times a week with whatever products I have lying around. I experiment with products all the time for my YouTube channel, so I don't have many staples. I usually wear my hair in a bun, puff or banana clip that way I can moisturize it as often as I want. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? It's usually in a bun or updo, so I wake up ready to go. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? A satin scarf...if I remember. I typically prep my hair for the morning at night. I am training myself to massage my edges with oil. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I recently used heat for the first time since 2013. I may start doing it three times a year so that I can be sure to get a good trim.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I cornrow it whenever I wear weaves and I will have it in box braids or Senegalese twists at least three times a year. I especially love braids in the summer. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Wide-tooth comb 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? It's an even split 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? I've never had a hair tragedy, but I have accidentally cut the back of my hair before. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Do not over-manipulate your hair and keep your ends even. All of that twisting and bantu knotting will catch up to you. If you don't manipulate your hair all the time, you won't have to trim it as much and you won't run the risk of set-backs. 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
Sherri, The “Carolina Girl”. 2. What is your hair type? Mainly 4C
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
My last relaxer was the night before my wedding, July 2010. For me, it wasn't a conscious attempt to “go natural” … I wanted to learn how to style hair without the aid of a professional. Also, I’d just completed a financial training course, and put myself on a strict budget… Through this, my love for DIY was born. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging part – by far – is finding elegant styles that are appropriate for business environments. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I don’t really have a weekly regimen… Meaning there isn't a list of things I do each week to maintain my curls. I’m more of an “as needed” kind of gal. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? In the morning I typically spend 10-15 minutes taking down a twist out, a twist & curl, bantu knots, etc. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? At night is where the magic happens! Most nights (especially weeknights) I’ll lightly mist my hair with a water/oil mixture (section by section). Afterwards, I’ll proceed with flat twist, or bantu knots. Then I’ll wrap my head in an old t-shirt. Not sexy, but effective! 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Yes, some mornings my twist out or knots haven’t dried completely. In these situations I’ll sit under a hood dryer on low heat for 30 mins. I also use heated rollers whenever I’m going to a formal function, or whenever I strive for a fuller twist out.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Yes, I braid my hair – not often. Maybe once or twice a year. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Wide-tooth comb, but mostly my fingers… 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Loose in the fall/winter (or low humidity days), protective styles, updos for rainy days and/or Summer. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? No, not that I can remember 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Cleanse and Moisturize: I use a Baking Soda/Water mixture to cleanse my hair & Scalp along with an Apple Cider Vinegar/Water Mixture to keep my dandruff at bay!! I suffer from a dry scalp and itchy scalp. So keeping my scalp moisturized is a must! I use an oil mixture (olive, grape seed, almond, vitamin E, and jojoba). Any variation of these (nightly) works wonders for me! 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 Zara! I’m Nigerian but I was born and raised in the U.S.A. 2. What is your hair type? My hair is mostly 4a. I have 4b at the crown of my head and close to my ears. The front of my head is mostly 4a with some strands between a 4a and 3c. I have a few strands that exhibit heat damage! I’ll be getting rid of those as my hair continues to grow. My hair is very dense but the strands are fine. I think it is low-medium porosity, I know it is protein sensitive, and it prefers to be treated with natural products. My elasticity is normal and my natural hair color is a deep brown with a reddish sort of gleam (in sunlight).
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
Okay… this is a story! In about middle school, my mom really dove into caring for my hair and my sister’s hair. My hair flourished and got quite long by the time I was in high school. When I was about 15, my mom was busy and couldn’t do my relaxer so she let one of our family members do it. Long story short… the relaxer was left in for far too long. No matter how much I cried for it to be washed out… I was replied to with a forceful “NO”. My hair was pretty severely damaged. It was thin and lifeless. In an effort to revive my hair, I started looking at relaxed hair videos on YouTube. That was when I discovered the concept of natural hair. As I got distracted by the many videos of beautiful women with hair that was just as beautiful, I asked myself why I even relaxed. It was just something I did… I didn’t have to and I realized that I didn’t care to. This was in November of 2008. I had decided that I would embark on a natural hair journey. No more relaxers for this head! 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging thing I faced was learning how to care for my hair. I can be pretty lazy and though my hair has gotten really long, I feel that I could have at least 6 more inches if I had known what I was doing 100% of the time. I have learned a great deal and now I know what my hair requires to grow. Another challenge is being patient! Sometimes I get frustrated when I am doing my hair and I rush through processes that should be done gently. I love my hair and I want to see it flourish so now I take my time more and I avoid manipulating it as much. When I am combatting my impatience, protective styling helps A LOT! It allows me to (kind of) forget my hair for a bit (aside form moisturizing and general maintenance). These two challenges are pretty much tied for first place, haha. 5. What is your weekly regimen? If you guys want to see what I do in detail, check out our YouTube channel. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? In the morning I adjust whatever style I was wearing the day before. If my hair is feeling dry, I will moisturize it again but I tend to avoid too much maintenance. It makes life easier! When I do protective style I spray my water and conditioner mix then seal with my Wild Growth Hair Oil. I avoid washing my hair with braids and twists but I wash weekly or every other week when I have a sew-in. I will probably start washing every two to three weeks with my braids (depending on how much cleansing I need and how much moisture my hair is craving). 7. What is your daily night time regimen? I usually just put on my nightcap and call it a day. I will occasionally re-twist my hair but that is rare! 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I used to blow dry my hair prior to protective styling but I’ve decided to completely eliminate heat from my regimen! I experienced a bit of heat damage over the course of a few months. Though my hair is now back on track, this stunted my growth a bit so I’m currently about two inches from MBL (Mid-back length). I will soon demonstrate ways to stretch the hair without heat (on my YouTube channel).
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I do! My hair is actually in twists, crochet braids, under a wig, or in some other protective style about 7-8 months out of the year (because I’m a student). My coursework is extremely rigorous and allows me little time to enjoy hair grooming. I really enjoy my hair during the summer time because I have a lot more freedom to do what my hair loves when I have that additional time. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? DENMAN! I use a wide tooth very occasionally. I prefer the Denman because its quick and effective but I really need to modify it so it doesn’t pull out unnecessary hair! 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? Typically in a protective hair-do but I often long for it to be free! 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? MY HEAT DAMAGE! It was very mild regarding how it affected my curls but it did thin my hair quite a bit. That was the worst part. It’s thickened back up significantly and eliminating heat from my regimen has proved to be the greatest thing I could do to help my hair. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Avoid heat! Also, be sure to moisturize! I’m protein sensitive so I don’t really focus on adding too much protein to my regimen. If you are not protein sensitive, be sure to balance protein and moisture levels. Also… Listen to your hair! Get to know what your hair likes and doesn’t like! Get to know the rhythms of your mane and do what you can to keep it healthy. 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

1. What's your name and where are you from?
Hi!!! My name is Sikethia Robinson & I am from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. 2. What is your hair type? I usually do not like to hair type my hair because it just gets so confusing to me so I just say my hair type is Unique & Fabulous and I rock it! LOL. {Heather KW: Lol, it's 3c or 4a?}
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural in April 2008. I wanted to go natural because I was very curious to see what my natural hair type looked like and how it would be. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? I would say the most challenging part of going natural was not knowing which products to use and battling between two textures. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I try to wash and deep condition my hair to keep it moisturized. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? My daily morning routine depends on what I have to do that day. If I will be out and about I usually rock the style I had the previous day. But if I don't have anything planned for the day and I am not going anywhere I keep my hair wrapped up in my silk scarf and bonnet. 7. What is your daily night time regimen? My night time routine is just me putting on some Jamaican Black Castor Oil throughout my scalp and edges and then I put on my silk scarf and bonnet. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? I use heat mostly in the winter months and its not a lot of heat. When I blow my hair out I will set the blow dryer on low heat and I usually allow my hair to air dry a few hours or overnight before I blow dry so I do not use too much heat.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
I never braid my hair. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? Denman brush for sure. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? My hair is mostly loose. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? Yes I have. I went to a hairstylist and she was going to wash and style as normal but I also needed a trim. I was natural and she said she could still trim my hair in its natural state. She trimmed it but she also chopped a good chunk off one side of my hair too! I didn't notice it until later and I just let my hair grow back on its own. This was before I knew about Jamaican Black Castor Oil. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? How I maintain healthy hair is by eating right, exercise, getting enough sleep and drinking lots of water. If you take of your inside it will show up on the outside. 14. Where can we find you online?

My name is Traeh and I’m from Baltimore, Maryland. 2. What is your hair type? I believe my hair type is a 4b.
3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural on January 28, 2014. I went natural because I was tired of getting relaxers and wearing wigs and weaves. I just wanted to embrace my natural hair. 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? The most challenging thing about going natural was finding a good regimen. In the beginning it’s hard trying to figure out what works for your hair and what doesn’t if you aren’t used to wearing your natural hair. 5. What is your weekly regimen? Every week I cleanse my hair with a cleansing conditioner then follow up with a good ol’ deep condition. Once I am done with that, I’ll prep my hair for styling. Usually, I can last a week without having to completely restyle my hair. 6. What is your daily morning regimen? In the mornings, if I’m rocking a wash & go, I’ll spritz my hair with water, fluff, and go! Other than that, I’ll just pick out my fro and be on my way! 7. What is your daily night time regimen? If my hair is in a twist out and braid out, then at night I will spritz it with a little water, apply some Jamaican Black Castor Oil to my hair, and retwist or rebraid my hair in slightly bigger sections. If my hair is in a wash & go, I will put my hair in 4 ponytails to stretch it. Then I’ll cover my hair with my satin scarf or bonnet (whichever one I can find lol) and call it a night. 8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? Nope, I don’t put any heat on my hair.
9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?
Not really. 10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? I’m a big fan of finger detangling. 11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do? The majority of the time I wear my hair in a high puff. 12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it? I dyed my hair a light brown color, got bored, and then dyed it black. I experienced more dryness than usual from those chemical processes so that was kind of a hair tragedy for me. My hair is still extra dry sometimes but I keep it moisturized and do lots of deep conditions and its been working for my hair. 13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair? Less manipulation is KEY! 14. Where can we find you online? (blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc).

3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?
I went natural on the 11/12/2013. You My hair has been relaxed for as long as i can remeber and for some reason it never grew longer than shoulder length, so when I saw that a lot of ladies on youtube/facebook/ instagram etc where promoting natural and all the products that are available for maintenance- i did not think twice! I immediately said to my husband; honey am going natural:) and now my hair is healthy, long and thick-love it!! 4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? I think fit was mostly my convincing my husband that chopping my hair was a good decision- other than that I would say getting used to combing kinky hair every day was something that was tough at first- aswel as knowing which products worked for me. 5. What is your weekly regimen? I wear wigs alot lately so my hair is in cornrows - so i try to make sure my sculp is not dry by adding natural shea butter mixed with almond oil 6.
