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! 

1. What's your name and where are you from? 

My name is Saran P King, I am from the beautiful twin island state of Antigua & Barbuda

2. What is your hair type?

I have different types of hair on my head, from curly to kinky, 3C-4A in mostly in the front, sides and back and 4A/4B in the middle. My strands are thin and not very dense the colour ranges from dark brown to black (but not jet black)

3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?

I was natural for my entire childhood and for most of my adult life. While in university I decided to texturize my hair on two separate occasions but I long term transitioned twice because of severe breakage

4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural?

Going natural wasn't a challenge for me since I was used to having my hair natural

5. What is your weekly regimen? 

At the moment, I normally use the curly girl method to inform my hair regimen. I wash my hair once a week with a cleanser and detangle once a week in 2 or 4 sections and finger detangling only.  I pre poo my hair with a mixture of coconut, grapeseed and olive oils.  I wash with the As I Am cowash coconut cleanser conditioner and rinse with warm water. Then I condition and deep condition (for at least 45 min -1hr) with the Hello Hydration Conditioner or any other deep conditioner I have and rinse with cool water. I  seal in the moisture with grapeseed oil and shea butter and 2 strand twist with or without gel.

6. What is your daily morning regimen? 

Every morning I mist my hair with just water and every few days after misting with water, I seal in the moisture with grapeseed or olive oil or shea butter

7. What is your daily night time regimen? 

My night time regimen is similar to the morning regimen, except I tie my hair up with a satin scarf.

8. Do you use heat on your hair at all?

I  rarely use heat on my hair. Occasionally I may blow dry my hair on a low setting using the tension method. If I flat iron my hair, I also use a low heat setting and I use a heat protectant prior to the application of heat.
